Stunning Autumn Colors

We booked the tour specifically to see the Kochia bushes at Oishi Park and they did not disappoint! The red color was vibrant and we had a perfectly clear view of Mt. Fuji. Our guide was excellent and the bus was very comfortable.

Beautiful Lavender

The lavender was in full bloom and smelled amazing. The park is a bit crowded but the view is worth it. The tour also took us to Oshino Hakkai which was lovely. Only 4 stars because traffic back to Tokyo was heavy.

Winter Wonderland

I was worried about the cold, but the winter view is the best! The air was so clear, Fuji looked huge. Oishi Park is peaceful in winter. The tour ran on time and the lunch provided was delicious.

Great day out

Saw the moss phlox and then Oishi Park. Very well organized tour. The guide spoke good English and gave us helpful tips for photos. A long day but very convenient compared to taking the train.

Perfect family trip

Took my parents on this tour. The walking at Oishi Park is on flat paved paths which was great for them. The blueberry ice cream at the park is a must-try!

Convenient for locals too

Even as a local, driving there can be tiring. The bus tour let me relax and enjoy a beer with lunch. Oishi Park is beautiful in any season.
