Educational tour Other

On the riverbed of Fuji River just next to Mount Fuji, you can witness the “red carpet” of sun-dried sakura shrimp. Every spring and autumn, freshly caught sakura shrimp are spread out by the riverbed to sundry. The view is especially scenic, with Mount Fuji in the background. The “red carpet” cannot be seen any day, and is only done on sunny days after a successful fishing trip.
