This area seems very magical and surreal. The traditional houses are well preserved and nicely maintained. The clear water in those ponds and creek are very calming. It is a very popular tourist destination so there are many loud and annoying tourists as well.

Gorgeous scenery when you make it all the way up to the outlook area. The walk can be tough, definitely prepare for the weather because you will get extremely hot climbing the 400+ steps up the mountain. Japan humidity is insane. Felt so lucky to see Mount Fuji so clearly on this day.

Very beautiful Shrine. The 1000 years old tree are so awesome. It will be even more beautiful on Autumn when it turn all the leaf in yellow. It took me 1 hour walk from Shimoyoshida Station but enjoy the journey very much. The shrine are quite and peaceful. Highly recommended.

Must-visit place for Naruto and rollercoaster fans. It was my first time in the rollercoaster and it was terrifying, but still fun 🤣 Naruto fans will have more than enough content to have fun with. Food is good, but a bit expensive considering the amount of it (still normal as it's amusement park) There are FREE tickets for just walking in, one-enter tickets and one-day tickets. The paid ones allow you to enter all attractions for free, but you still have to wait in the queues if you don't have priority pass for specific attraction.

Traditional local Japanese restaurant. You only have to make one decision- hot or cold. Eating on the traditional flooring tatami was nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Udon was ordinary but tasty. Cash only.

Food is absolutely amazing, and the portions are very generous. I ordered one ramen and a combo set with ramen, fried rice, and a raw egg on top. Everything was delicious, especially the rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The fried rice had a nice smoky taste, and the raw egg added a creamy texture. All of this cost only about 2,000 ¥, which is a great deal for such a satisfying meal. Highly recommended!

Oishi Park is a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature. The view of Mount Fuji from the park is absolutely breathtaking and feels unreal. The seasonal flowers, the fresh air, and the calm atmosphere make it a perfect escape from busy city life. The walking paths are well maintained, and everything is clean and organized. The lake nearby adds even more beauty and tranquility to the experience. It’s not too crowded, so you can really enjoy the silence and the scenery. A must-visit spot if you're in the Fuji area.

This remarkable attraction combines the charm of a meticulously crafted French village with an extraordinary collection of automated musical instruments, creating an experience that feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Modeled after French architecture, every building showcases beautiful Cinderella-castle-style design that provides endless photographic opportunities throughout the grounds. I arrived late in the day when Mount Fuji was completely obscured by clouds, having exhausted other sightseeing options, and entered more out of curiosity than expectation. What I discovered was far beyond anything I had anticipated. The admission fee includes access to scheduled musical performances featuring massive automated organs, live opera singers, and grand automated music organ concerts that demonstrate incredible engineering and artistry from a bygone era. What truly impressed me was witnessing the staff’s dedication during closing time, as they carefully maintained and adjusted the numerous antique automated instruments with obvious expertise and care. This daily ritual speaks to their commitment to preserving these mechanical marvels for future visitors, ensuring each performance maintains its magical quality. The gift shop offers an extensive selection of music boxes in various sizes and musical selections, plus unique items like violins. While perhaps not as comprehensive as Hokkaido’s famous Otaru music box shops, the quality and sound of their music boxes are genuinely beautiful and worth considering as souvenirs. The magical climax of my visit occurred when the clouds suddenly parted, revealing Mount Fuji in perfect view from the French village setting. This unexpected moment created an absolutely breathtaking backdrop that had every visitor frantically capturing photos of the stunning combination of European architecture and Japan’s most iconic mountain. The contrast between the French-style buildings and the majestic mountain created such a surreal, picture-perfect scene that it felt almost too beautiful to be real. This destination successfully combines cultural education, musical entertainment, architectural beauty, and natural scenery into one cohesive experience that appeals to visitors of all ages and interests.

The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway is such a fun and scenic experience! The cable car ride takes you up to a viewpoint where, on a clear day, you get an incredible view of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, it was super cloudy when I visited, so we didn’t get to see Fuji in all its glory but that’s just how Mother Nature works sometimes! At the top, there’s a small food and ice cream stand. I totally recommend grabbing some ice cream, especially if you’re visiting in June when it’s starting to get hot. There’s also a swing you can ride for a small fee (I believe it was around 500 yen) a fun little bonus if you're into unique photo ops. If you keep walking past the main viewing area, there’s a higher spot that gives you even better views and more photo opportunities. Just be careful it gets pretty steep and hilly, and if you’re not paying attention, it’s easy to slip or lose your footing. Overall, even though I didn’t get the perfect view of Mount Fuji, the experience was still really cute and enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit!

An incredible experience visiting this place. I went during the summer, and although it was scorching hot outside, the temperature dropped drastically as soon as I entered. Even though the cave isn’t very deep, the difference in temperature was significant. The route wasn't very long either, but it was enough to make me shiver from the cold

wind caves were cool and it wasn't as long as we thought. if you stop and and read everything, then MAYBE it would take you 20 minutes to get through it, with kids. it's very neat looking and awesome atmosphere.

Delicious cakes and absolutely stunning interior! We tried chestnut-matcha and seasonal fruits cakes. I have never tried chestnut-matcha one before, it has more chestnut flavor than matcha, but I really enjoyed. The place overall allows to stay up to 1 hour there.

We had a delicious meal here last night, everything was so fresh! The staff were very accommodating with my partner's gluten allergy. Fresh seafood and quality ingredients. We got the vegetarian and gluten free set meal, the blue fin tuna set meal and the assorted tempura. Make sure you line up as they are only open for a short window at lunch and dinner. The best meal we have had in Japan. Highly recommend!
