Mount Fuji Day Trip with Private Driver
Spend a day exploring Mount Fuji and the area around it with this private, fully customizable tour - from all around Kawaguchiko Lake and up to the Mount Fuji Fifth Station.

Tickets

There is a wide variety of paid seating options, with the cheapest usually starting from around ¥4,500 and the most expensive being ¥65,000 for a reserved seat for ten people. We recommend checking out the official site to see what they have.

Seats can be reserved online. General sale begins on July 16 at 10 a.m.

Where can I view the fireworks for free?

There will be a free-viewing area near the fireworks and you can start reserving a space from midnight on the day, but you’ll have to have someone in that spot — don’t just put down a sheet and walk away.

If you don’t feel like fighting for a space, then it is recommended to purchase a paid seat.
