What to expect
Welcome, esteemed guests, to join us on a delightful journey from Tokyo, immersing yourselves in the stunning lakeside scenery around Mount Fuji!
This tour will take you to the serene Hirano Beach, encounter the picturesque Lake Yamanaka, and allow you to choose one of three unique experiences: ① Ride the KABA amphibious bus for a different perspective of the lake; ② Take the Swan Lake Cruise, a swan-shaped boat, to tour Lake Yamanaka and enjoy romance; ③ Freely stroll along Lake Yamanaka and get close to nature. Then, we will head to Oshino Hakkai, and finally stop at Oishi Park in Lake Kawaguchi, capturing beautiful moments and bringing a perfect end to the journey.
Hirano Beach In the morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the figure of Mount Fuji, forming a dreamy “Reverse Fuji” scene that makes people breathtaking. Throughout the changing seasons, Hirano Beach is constantly showing different styles, and there are limited sceneries belonging to Hirano Beach waiting to meet you in all seasons. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or just a traveler who wants to quietly feel the beauty of nature, you should not miss this secret scenic spot under Mount Fuji.
Lake Yamanaka Located at the northern foot of Mount Fuji, it is the largest and highest lake among the Fuji Five Lakes. The view here is wide, and it is especially charming in autumn and winter - the mountains and forests are dyed golden and red in autumn, and the clear lake water and Mount Fuji are in the same frame; in winter, the snow covers the top of the mountain, and the "Reverse Fuji"倒影 is often seen on the lake surface, and you can also encounter swans swimming. In addition, taking a water and land bus, a Swan Lake Cruise, or strolling along the lake are excellent ways to get close to this beautiful scenery.
Oshino Hakkai Located at the foot of Mount Fuji, it is a village composed of eight springs. The spring water is crystal clear, nourishing the surrounding rice fields and koi. In autumn and winter, red maple leaves are reflected in the spring, and the simple thatched houses are covered with thin snow, showing tranquility.
Oishi Park, Lake Kawaguchi It is an excellent place to photograph “Flower Field Fuji” and has a recognized most photogenic angle of Mount Fuji. In spring and summer, moss phlox, lavender and other flowers bloom in the park, and the colorful colors contrast with the snow-capped Mount Fuji; although there is no sea of flowers in autumn and winter, you can capture the “Reverse Fuji” reflected on the lake surface, and with the observation deck in the park, you can easily take beautiful pictures of Mount Fuji and nature.
Reviews
Our recent Lake Kawaguchiko tour was truly enjoyable, thanks to our guide, Ms. Hou Jing! She was fluent in both Chinese and Japanese, and her explanations during our travels and at the tourist spots were clear and engaging. What impressed me most was her passion for photography! She enthusiastically directed our poses, saying things like, "Stand there!" and diligently snapped photos, which made us laugh and feel energized. I'm sincerely grateful to our passionate and kind guide!
The overall expirence was great and andrew the guide was very welcoming and nice
Our tour guide, Xiao Yang, was very friendly, and the weather was pleasant with no harsh sun. We even got to see Mount Fuji! It was a bit of a shame that one of the facilities was temporarily closed for maintenance, but our guide immediately helped us switch to an alternative plan. We'll definitely try the KABA BUS next time!
We had a very nice trip. Our driver Hong Jian made the entire trip very smooth and well coordinated. He was kind and helpful. The vehicle was clean and sufficient for the Group. Time provided at each place was sufficient. Also, we were lucky to have the sight of clear Mount Fuji which was the highlight. Overall, a fantastic trip.
The tour guide was great, the weather was exceptionally good, and the ice cream was also very nice. A very comfortable trip. (Adding words, adding words, adding words
Our tour guide, Liu, was fun and entertaining, with detailed explanations 👍🏻. The one-day tour was excellent value for money, covering many attractions and showcasing more of Japan's beauty.
Our tour guide, Yong, was very friendly and provided a detailed introduction to Mount Fuji. The itinerary was excellent. Although the weather wasn't ideal, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji.
Highly recommend Tim as a tour guide! I want to join his tour again next time.
There were seven of us, and we chartered a nine-seater car, making for a very relaxed day trip. Our tour guide, Mr. Gao, was incredibly kind and spoke Chinese. He helped us adjust the itinerary to our liking and even specially took us to a FamilyMart to photograph Mount Fuji, which wasn't originally on the schedule. We were very happy about that! 😃
Didn't get to see Mount Fuji due to the weather ⛰️ฅʕ•̫͡•ʔฅ. Tour guide Liu was very kind and helpful ❤️.
