What you can expect

Experience the Yoshida Fire Festival, enjoy grape picking, and relax in an onsen with a view of Mount Fuji on this day trip from Tokyo.

Begin your day with a pickup from Shinjuku Station and head to Yamanashi Prefecture. Stop in Katsunuma, a region known for its vineyards, and enjoy a 30-minute all-you-can-eat grape-picking experience. Sample a variety of grapes, including the sweet Delaware, the locally-grown Koshu, and the perfectly balanced Berry A.

Next, visit the newly opened Kawaguchiko Base, a local market showcasing Yamanashi's finest products and seasonal flavors. Browse the stalls and discover the region's culinary delights.

Continue to the highlight of your trip, the Yoshida Fire Festival. This traditional festival, held in Fujiyoshida City, has a history of over 400 years and is one of Japan's three major fire festivals. It is held to pray for the safety of climbers and to calm the eruptions of Mount Fuji.

Witness the festival's climax as approximately 90 giant torches, each 3 meters tall, illuminate the city streets. The sight of the blazing flames against the night sky is truly breathtaking. Feel the heat of the fire and hear the lively chants of the people carrying the torches, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.

After the festival, relax with a bath at Fuji Lava Hot Spring Sensui, where you can enjoy views of Mount Fuji. Towels are provided for your convenience. Finally, return to Shinjuku Station, concluding your day of cultural and natural experiences.
