Our Mt. Fuji Food tour takes place in the lovely town of Fujinomiya, just at the base of the most famous mountain in Japan. With deep clear mountain spring water- Fujinomiya is a great place for delicious food, sake, soba noodles, and green tea. Get off the beaten track of the Tokyo-Kyoto corridor and discover true local furusato (home town) spirit. Fujinomiya is an easy day trip from Tokyo (or an overnight visit that will give you more time to explore!)
Our guide will journey with you by Bullet Train and Local trains from Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto. This will be a 6-7 hour tour. We can also arrange travel by private van upon request. Prices will vary.
Upon arriving in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka -The brand new Mt Fuji World Heritage Cultural Center is our starting point to explore this special place. Hop on the super-fast Shinkansen (bullet train) enjoy a classic train bento and snacks, and discover this hidden gem! This tour features 4-5 specialty food stops including a traditional local lunch!

Wonderful tour guides Norma and her apprentice Sandra provided a great tour of Fuji and surrounding areas. We enjoyed the bullet train but were not hungry enough for the bento box at 10:00 am on the Shinkansen but appreciated the experience and enjoyed a small snack. The weather was a plus with a nice chill in the air which made Snow covered” Ms Fuji” even more beautiful. We tasted some interesting foods along the way but would have enjoyed a sit down indoor restaurant experience for the price we paid as we were getting pretty hungry by the end of the tour ,as we did lots of walking and it was chilly. We were given enough time to shop though not many options in the lovely quaint small town sitting below Mount Fuji. . We spent a lot of time in the saki brewery interesting, but would have preferred more time in a restaurant later in the day.
Norma was the best your guide you could we had in Japan and she deserves high marks. Her understanding of both Japanese and English is unique and invaluable!

Arigato did a FABULOUS job of showing us the Mt. Fuji area and the World Heritage Center, shrine, beer, sake and the BEST Yaki Soba I have ever tasted. Since we booked before 2020, their guide actually picked us up at our Tokyo Hotel. This has changed now, but still worth every penny. The tour was not just food, but also Japanese customs and shrine protocol. I can't say enough about how well this tour group treated us. They also have many other tours in Japan. Since we went during the virus scare, we were the only ones on the tour! They were very safe and we did not get sick from virus or food choices. They know what they are doing! They can adjust for certain wishes. They found us a fabric store with lovely Japanese fabrics.

My wife and I went on the Fuji tour. Lauren and Alex were wonderful travel companions and had selected numerous local traditional (and great!) restaurants. The food highlight was the Yakisoba restaurant. Mt fuji was shy the day of our visit as it was raining all day... but with great guides and great food we still enjoyed ourselves immensely. We are aspiring foodies and found this tour to be a great way to experience very tasty local cuisine and learn a lot about the area. The Mt Fuji museum was another highlight.
