Things to do in Lake Kawaguchi

On March 27, 2026, I took a day trip to Lake Kawaguchiko, hoping to see the cherry blossoms during the season, but they hadn't bloomed yet 🫠. The weather was decent, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see the full view of Mount Fuji. I was very lucky that day to have a female tour guide, Xu Jin, who provided detailed explanations at each scenic spot and was incredibly polite and wonderful. When we arrived at Arakurayama Sengen Park, we could see Mount Fuji. Due to time constraints, I didn't climb the five-story pagoda, but on the way back, I bought a beautiful Mount Fuji bag and strawberries from a vendor. We had lunch at Oshino Hakkai, which was a small park. At Lake Kawaguchiko, we took the cable car to the top, where we could see the entire lake and Mount Fuji. We also briefly explored the shopping street. I look forward to seeing the complete Mount Fuji on a day with better weather next time.

The tour was very well organized and we enjoyed it, even though Mount Fuji was hidden behind a thick cloud cover. It would be desirable if all participants were informed beforehand via WhatsApp.

Our guide, Jack "Captain" Jack, was very friendly and accommodating. Despite the weather, it was a lovely day with everyone. He shared the most important information with us, which made things even easier. Plus, he's a super photographer!

Very efficient, very smooth process from booking the trip until the end of the day. the itinerary was relaxing and easy. the driver gave us overview and instructions per stop. it gave us enough time per stop and I highly recommend this especially if you like self guided tours.

We had a wonderful experience with our driver, Joe during our trip to Lake Kawaguchi and the surrounding areas to see Mount Fuji. He was punctual, friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the day. He drove safely and comfortably, took us to the best viewpoints, and was patient while we explored and took photos. His knowledge of the area also made the trip much easier and more enjoyable, especially as we wanted to see as much of Mount Fuji as possible. We truly appreciated his excellent service, warm attitude, and attention to our needs. He made our day trip smooth, relaxing, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional driver around the Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi area!

Serina is a wonderful person. I was so impressed with her from the get go, having to translate not only into one language but two!! at our first stop the team working on an event at the lake was very rude and Serina was able to find a new spot with swans for everyone to still enjoy there time. I knew mt Fuji wasn't promised to see do to weather but luck was very much on our side and several of the locations we got views.

10/10 experience we had an amazing time biking and alot of recommendations from the driver dong. We went to all the hot spots and had enough time to roam around and take pictures!

Fantastic day trip to Mount Fuji with Virginia, our guide. Everything was well organized with just enough time to see it all. Virginia was fantastic, helping us at all times, giving us explanations of the best places to see, and speaking Spanish, which (although she's perfectly understandable in English) always helps. She even gave us a Japanese lesson on the bus. If we come back, we'll definitely book with her again.

We had a wonderful Mt. Fuji day tour experience. It became more special because of our tour guide, Serina. She is so accomodating and friendly. We will book again via Klook next time we come back. Thank you Serina
