When planning a trip to Tokyo, many travelers wonder whether to see Mt. Fuji or visit the Japanese whisky mecca. Often, the desire to do both is thwarted by limited time.
However, there's a tour that allows you to experience both in a single day. This special day tour combines Japan's iconic Mt. Fuji with the Suntory Distillery, a world-renowned whisky brand.
A Close Encounter with the Majestic Mt. Fuji

Mt. Fuji is almost a symbol of traveling in Japan. While it showcases different aspects with each season, its scenery is always breathtaking. As you leave the city behind and Mt. Fuji unfolds before your eyes, a completely different atmosphere from Tokyo begins. The towering peak against a clear sky, surrounded by nature, offers a much greater sense of awe than any photograph can capture.
For travelers looking to connect with nature for a day trip from Tokyo, Mt. Fuji is consistently one of the most satisfying destinations.
Discover the World of Japanese Whisky at Suntory Hakushu Distillery


After taking in the views of Mt. Fuji, the tour proceeds to the Suntory Hakushu Distillery, a representative of Japanese whisky. Nestled within a lush forest, the Hakushu Distillery lives up to its nickname, the 'Forest Distillery,' with its unique ambiance. Here, you can experience the whisky-making process, learn about Suntory's history, and immerse yourself in whisky culture. It's a unique experience not only for whisky enthusiasts but also for travelers who don't typically drink. The distillery's setting amidst nature is so beautiful it feels like a destination in itself, making it a must-visit spot for many interested in Japanese whisky.
While Tokyo offers various day trip options, a course that combines Mt. Fuji and the Suntory Distillery in one day is quite rare. It allows you to experience Japan's iconic scenery, flavors, and culture all at once.
Consider embarking on a special day trip from Tokyo. The overwhelming beauty of Mt. Fuji and the deep stories held within whisky will undoubtedly create one of the most memorable days of your journey.
