Mt Fuji and Lakeshore Easy Bike Tour

Mt Fuji and Lakeshore Easy Bike Tour

In this full-day tour by private car, our guides bring you to Katsunuma, in the picturesque Koshu Valley near Mt Fuji, where most of Japan's wine is produced. There, at three award-winning wineries, you'll enjoy tasting delicious wines made from not only Western grapes but also the indigenous Koshu variety for which Japanese winemaking is best known.

Between wine tastings and a delicious gourmet lunch at a 5-star restaurant, our guides bring you to vista points where you'll have magnificent views of undulating hills, placid lakeshores and Mt Fuji. A fascinating tour of a sake brewery tops off this delightful day (or you may substitute an additional winery visit, if you prefer).

This tour is accessible and fun regardless of your level of experience with wine. It's an excellent choice for your vacation or as a gift to family or friends.

Unlike our other tours, there is no bike riding during this tour.

Your guides will be native English speakers who also speak and read some Japanese.
