About this Experience
Experience the Magic of Mt. Fuji’s Premier Winter Illumination Step into a world of crystalline beauty at the Yamanakako Ice Candle & Sky Lantern Festival. Located at the base of Mt. Fuji at Lake Yamanaka—the highest and closest of the Fuji Five Lakes—this event is a hidden gem of the Japanese winter season. The "Diamond Fuji" Connection February is the peak season for the "Diamond Fuji" phenomenon, where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the peak of the mountain. Our tour timing is designed to capture the transition from this golden sunset into the magical evening illumination. Light Up the Night Sky The evening reaches its crescendo with a spectacular sky lantern release. Watch as hundreds of lanterns drift toward the stars, followed by a vibrant fireworks display that echoes through the crisp winter air. It is the ultimate "bucket list" moment for anyone visiting Japan in February.
