    Sample a selection of sake made with water from Mount Fuji and then visit a heritage center dedicated to the mountain and its influence throughout Japan.


    A scenic drive through the countryside will bring you to Fuji Takasago, a sake brewery founded in 1831 at the foot of Mount Fuji, where its groundwater is most abundant. The water from the snow melt that runs off the mountain takes nearly 100 years to filter through the earth’s underground layers, leaving the water extraordinarily pure.


    Following an enlightening tour of the brewery, where you will watch rice being turned into sake, you will be offered a selection of Fuji Takasago’s rice wines. During the sampling, you may notice that the Mount Fuji water imparts a mild taste to the sake. Being high in amino acids, these sakes are also rich in umami, a flavor associated with rice wine.


    You will gain a different perspective of Japan’s most celebrated peak at the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center nearby. Its exhibitions include Japanese art and literature that the mountain has inspired and paper screens that show Mount Fuji changing with the seasons. Another highlight is the building’s inverted lattice cone sculpture that mimics the shape of Mount Fuji when viewed in the reflecting pool.


    The center was named to recognize UNESCO declaring Mount Fuji to be a World Heritage site for its solitary beauty, iconic shape and deep impact on Western art. It may well be the world’s most famous stratovolcano.

    Jeju's Natural Highlights

    Behold the natural beauty in southern Jeju Island, much of it the result of past volcanic activity. more...

    OVERVIEW

    Behold the natural beauty in southern Jeju Island, much of it the result of past volcanic activity. You will likely hear roaring Cheonjiyeon Falls before seeing the cascade, which plummets straight down from a sheer rock cliff. From the viewing platform, the water appears to fall from the heavens, which is appropriate since Cheonjiyeon translates to “sky connected to land.” As you look out from the observation deck at Jusangjeolli Cliff, you’ll notice its striking hexagonal columns—shaped by volcanic activity long ago. They formed during the Pleistocene Period when molten lava hit the cold ocean water, quickly cooled, fractured and shot high into the air. Yakcheonsa Temple will offer a glimpse into the island’s Buddhist culture and scenic beauty. A stream spills into a pond at the base of the temple and pilgrims are often seen drinking from its supposedly medicinal waters. For a close-up look at daily life on Jeju, you will spend free time at a bustling market.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Follow a scenic trail to Cheonjiyeon Falls, a beautiful cascade within a verdant forest.
    • View ancient hexagonal columns that quickly cooling lava formed at Jusanjeolli Cliff.
    • Explore a local market with time to shop or simply look around.
    • Wander around a Buddhist temple built next to a stream that is supposedly medicinal.

Items such as ancient looms for weaving hemp clothing and chunks of lava are beautifully displayed. Continuing on to Dongmun Market, you will enjoy a close-up look into daily life on the island, as the locals will be shopping for merchandise ranging from abalone to herbs to tangerine-flavored chocolate.

    OVERVIEW

    View a volcanic crater so spectacular that it has become a Korean Natural Monument and explore a park with eerie stone statues that celebrate Jeju’s volcanic heritage. As you approach the extinct Sangumburi Crater, you will notice that its interior is shallow, broad and shaped like a natural stadium. Unlike other such craters, it didn’t fill with water after the eruption, which encouraged lush foliage to grow. The guide may point out flora such as red-wood evergreen oaks and mountain strawberry trees, depending on the season. For an introduction to the island’s unusual stone culture and mythology, you will browse the enlightening Jeju Stone Museum. In the surrounding park, you will find traditional thatched-roof houses, bizarrely shaped geological formations and dolhareubang statues, which are stone sculptures that symbolize protection and good fortune.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Explore an unusual volcanic crater filled with lush foliage rather than water.
    • Delve into the island’s stone culture at Jeju Stone Park and its museum.
    • Walk about the park and behold its seemingly countless stone statues

The lava caves at Hallim Park are another highlight, as they were created long ago by the eruption of Mt. Halla and contain an abundance of stalagmites and stalactites, which are rare in lava caves. You will next visit the O’Sulloc Tea Museum, whose exhibits are devoted to every imaginable aspect of tea, including tea cups, tea rooms, tea leaves and the history of tea.

    OVERVIEW

    Take in the spectacular view from atop crater-shaped Seaongsan Sunrise Rock and then visit a traditional village that reveals the rich culture and heritage of Jeju Island. After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a leisurely 50 minute drive to Seaongsan Sunrise Rock, a crater named in part because it lies on Jeju’s easternmost shore and attracts locals that gather to watch the sunrise. Formed a millennia ago in a series of underwater volcanic eruptions, the crater looks like a crown because 99 jagged rocks surround the top of the huge circular crater. It is so stunning that UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site. You may walk up the stairs leading to the jungle-covered bowl at the top or remain below. Both perspectives offer spectacular views. Seaongsan, which means “castle hill,” was originally an islet but a thin strip of land now connects it to the main island. The crater is an outstanding example of a lava cone and volcanologists continually study it, as do botanists who come for the endemic flora. Next, you will drive inland to a wide plain at the foot of Hallasan Mountain, where you will find the Seongeup Folk Village. Created as an expression of traditional Korean life, the re-created village contains several rock-walled thatched-roofed houses. Other highlights include Confucian shrines, fortress ruins and ancient government buildings. Many of the traditions and even the dialect spoken here have been handed down over the generations. After visiting, you will re-board your coach and travel back to the pier.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Take in the stunning views from atop a volcanic crown-like crater.
    • Recognize the reasons why UNESCO declared the crater a World Heritage site.
    • See village buildings ranging from Confucian shrines to thatched-roof houses.

    Delve into Japanese culture by visiting an art museum, enjoying a ritualistic tea ceremony and admiring one of the most spectacular views of sacred Mount Fuji.


    Visit the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum in the fishing village of Yui. More than a thousand woodblock prints from Utagawa Hiroshige, a 19th-century master of the ukiyo-e genre, are beautifully displayed here. As you will discover while browsing the works of art, the ukiyo-e genre typically depicts subjects of everyday life that include landscapes, birds and flowers.


    Hiroshige’s genius for landscape composition and color in works such as The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido influenced European painters such as Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh.


    At a tearoom in a nearby park, you’ll enjoy a tea ceremony. You will be served traditional green tea, but the ceremony involves more than merely the beverage. It is a ritualistic art form in which the tea must be prepared and presented in a certain manner known as the Way of Tea.


    Drive to the seaside pine grove Miho no Matsubara. The grove consists of more than 50,000 pine trees, including a 650-year-old tree thought to have mythical powers. The view from the shore with Mount Fuji lording over the scenery has been rated one of the top three views in Japan.

    OVERVIEW

    Meet the famed women divers of Jeju Island who descend to staggering depths without oxygen tanks; then stroll the winding paths of the world’s largest bonsai garden. The so-called Mermaids of Jeju reach dizzying depths to gather conch, clams, abalone and other marine life. It’s not so much what they do, but how they do it that is so incredible. The women free dive without oxygen tanks and carry only a pair of goggles, a ball-like tube for balance and a basket for their collected items. The work is perilous, and the divers have become much-admired symbols of female independence and strength. You will also visit the Spirited Garden, a showcase for bonsai trees, many of which are set among black volcanic rocks and marked with plaques that quote Korean poetry. As you stroll through this idyllic setting, you will sense the garden’s intent to promote peace of mind and contemplation.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Meet women that free dive to collect seafood on the ocean floor.
    • Watch a demonstration of their prodigious diving skills and how they minimize peril.
