Mount Fuji Cultural and Geological Discovery Tour
Things to know
About the Activity
Japan's most famous mountain, Mount Fuji, is not only known for its absolutely breathtaking beauty, it is also the highest active volcano in the country! Mount Fuji is special because the Philippine Sea Plate, which carries the Izu Peninsula, goes under both the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. The three plate boundaries meet almost exactly under Mount Fuji. Another fascinating thing about Mount Fuji is that it's a mountain of water! It stores an impressive 1.7 to 1.8 billion tons of water annually in its vast body. This abundant water has long been utilized for our daily lives. On this tour, our local guides will introduce you to the unique characteristics of Japan's most famous mountain, Mount Fuji. We'll explore all the wonderful things that Mount Fuji brings to the region. We'd love for you to join us if you're interested! Our guides will take you on a special e-bike tour of this unique area, showing you some hidden spots and unique insights that only we know.2 hours 45 minutes

The anchor and log book of the Geratic, located within the grounds of Ryenji Temple. The Geratic was a cargo ship from Jakarta that encountered Typhoon 20 in 1979 and was shipwrecked, washing ashore on Kashiwabara Beach, where two crew members lost their lives. The ship's hull remained upright on the sandy beach without tipping over, which became a major story at the time and attracted many spectators.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Yusui Park
2 Hina, Fuji, Japan, 417-0847Mount Fuji is not only a volcano but also a mountain of water, storing a significant amount of water. The people living around Mount Fuji have utilized this water for their daily lives and the development of industries.
It is said that the amount of rain and snow falling on Mount Fuji totals approximately 2.1 billion tons per year, with around 1.8 billion tons of this water being stored annually. This water seeps into the mountain, flowing underground, and eventually emerges as spring water on the surface of the foothills after several decades. The amount of groundwater stored in Mount Fuji is estimated to be enough for about two years' worth of use for the people living in Japan.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
