Both tours take you to the foot of Japan’s sacred peak from different vantage points. The Hakone route climbs to Fuji’s 5th Station and continues to Lake Ashi and Owakudani. The Kawaguchi route captures the iconic pagoda-and-Fuji view at Arakurayama Sengen Shrine, then lingers around the lake with a hands-on noodle-making lunch.
