There are a number of lava caves at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The bat cave one of the caves maintained for tourists and, with a length of over 350 meters, is one of the largest in the area. You are required to wear a helmet handed over to you properly as there are protruding lava rocks here and there inside the cave. You also have to stoop where the ceiling is low. Since some parts of the ground may be muddy, please walk carefully as you explore the cave!
Aokigahara Forest Guided Tour
It is a virgin forest with a size of 30 km2 that extends from the northern foot of Mt. Fuji to Lake Saiko to Lake Shojin to Lake Motosu. The park has a world-class natural environment where you can see a variety of animals and plants, in addition to roughly 300-year-old giant trees growing on the lava flow, including Japanese hemlock beech and fir. The course offers visitors an audio nature guide that allows you to fully enjoy exploring the forest by walking on the nature path that goes from Fugaku-Fuuketsu to Narusawa-Hyoketsu.
Narusawa Ice Cave
Narusawa Hyoketsu is one of the major lava caves that exist at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The average temperature is as low as 3℃ inside, and the name “Hyoketsu (frozen)” was given because the cave is covered with ice all around the year.
