One-Day Tour of Fuji Safari Park, Oshino Hakkai, and Oishi Park

About this activity

Embark on a healing day trip from Shinjuku, collecting natural scenery, animals, and spectacular views of Mount Fuji all in one go. Journey away from the hustle and bustle of the city and head to the most representative natural secret realm at the foot of Mount Fuji.

The first stop is Fuji Safari Park. Unlike traditional zoos, this is a super open ecological space where large animals such as lions, tigers, black bears, and giraffes roam freely in the grasslands. You can choose to take the wildly popular Jungle Bus for a close-up view and even experience the thrilling moment of feeding, with animals appearing right by the window, accelerating both your heartbeat and the sound of the shutter. When the weather is clear, you can also capture animals and Mount Fuji in the same frame from multiple angles within the park, maximizing the visual impact.

Next, head to Oshino Hakkai, known as the "soul water of Mount Fuji." The eight clear springs, filtered by Mount Fuji's snowmelt, are distributed among traditional villages. The spring water is so clear that you can see aquatic plants and swimming fish. Stroll slowly along the small bridges and footpaths, taste snacks and desserts made with Mount Fuji's spring water, and experience the most original Japanese rural life.

Finally, arrive at Oishi Park in Kawaguchiko, an excellent spot to admire Mount Fuji and flower fields in the same frame. The "Flower Street" built along the lake offers different scenery throughout the four seasons. Whether it's the lavender in the height of summer, the broom grass in autumn, or Mount Fuji reflected on the lake surface on a clear day, you can't help but stop and admire. The Natural Living Center in the park also allows you to enjoy mountain views while sipping coffee, bringing a gentle end to this trip.

Collecting animals, clear springs, flower fields, and Mount Fuji all in one day, this is a route that photo enthusiasts, nature lovers, and first-time visitors to Japan will adore.
