Tour Itinerary & Highlights
Shiraito Falls
The fall is listed as one of "Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls". It is 200m wide and 20m high. It gushes out 1.5 tons of spring water from Mt.Fuji per second. It springs out from the cracks between 2 lava layers. Because the running water looks like white threads, so it is called “Shiraito no Taki”, meaning waterfalls of white threads.
Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, Shizuoka
Mt. Fuji was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2013. Following that, the center was opened in December 2017. The unique design of the building attracts many people from home and abroad.
