In 1987, Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge, along with the Fuji Subaru Line, was selected as one of the “100 Roads of Japan” for its stunning scenery in a superior natural environment. “Kawaguchiko Craft Park,” located on the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko, is a handicraft experience park themed “Nature × Handmade Experience”! Here, you can not only admire the magnificent scenery of Mount Fuji but also create unique crafts with your own hands, making it suitable for families and couples to deeply experience the charm of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. 【Oishi Park】

• Seasonal Flower Calendar Spring (April-May): 8,000 moss phlox create a pink carpet, paired with a tulip garden, like a Monet painting. Summer (June-July): Fragrant lavender fields, purple waves and Mount Fuji create a Provence-like atmosphere. Autumn (September-October): Vibrant red kochia (bassia scoparia) spheres spread across the fields, resembling a burning Martian landscape at sunset. Winter (December-March): Snow-covered Mount Fuji reflects on the frozen lake surface, a pure white world of serene beauty. 【Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba】 “Iyashi no Sato Nenba,” located on the shores of Lake Saiko in Kawaguchiko, is a reconstructed traditional gassho-zukuri village! Inspired by Shirakawa-go, the thatched roofs and Mount Fuji form a beautiful pastoral scene. This place combines traditional crafts, natural healing, and foothills cuisine, and is hailed as “the dream village closest to Mount Fuji.” 【Lunch Introduction】 ・Kobe Beef Kobe beef is one of Japan’s top three most prestigious wagyu representatives. Each piece of Kobe beef boasts beautiful marbling, like marble, which is the secret to its melt-in-your-mouth texture. The perfect intertwining of fat and lean meat creates rich layers of flavor. If you are a gourmet pursuing ultimate deliciousness, then Kobe beef is definitely a delicacy you cannot miss. It will bring you an unprecedented taste experience, allowing you to deeply appreciate the true meaning of “melting in your mouth.”
