A Wonderful 6-Hour Tour in Fujinomiya with Friends from Chicago!

Hello everyone!
On October 18th, I guided a lovely group of four friends from Chicago.
We went on a 6-hour taxi tour to Fujinomiya, and we were very lucky because it was a perfectly sunny day!

Our first stop was Shiraito Falls. Since we arrived early, so it was not crowded at all. We could take our time and enjoy taking photos. We even saw a beautiful rainbow over the falls!

Next, we visited Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine.
The guests were very interested in Shinto (Japanese traditional religion).
On that day, there were many local families celebrating “Shichi-Go-San” (a traditional event for children). The guests were happy to take a memorial photo together with a local family!
*Note: We made sure to ask for the family’s permission before taking photos.

After walking around the shrine, we stopped by Omiya Yokocho. They tried Fujinomiya Yakisoba (fried noodles) for the first time.

Our last stop was the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre. The building has a gentle slope, so it was very easy and safe to walk up. From the open roof on the top floor, we had a super clear and beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! The guests were also deeply moved by the movie in the theater.

During the tour, the guests asked me many interesting questions about Japanese plants, animals, food, and culture. We enjoyed talking about many different topics in the car.

Thank you so much for joining our tour. I hope they  enjoy the rest of their trip in Japan!
