The most convenient and profitable option is a bus or a train.
Not far from the station you can rent a bicycle, there are electric or regular bicycles available, you can also rent a car, or you can buy a pass and ride buses, there are three popular lines around the lakes
- Red, Green, Brown.
We rented bicycles and explored the surroundings on them, we visited:

It was one of the best days of our trip! I recommend everyone to come here and try to ride bicycles at least a small part of this route.

Mount Fuji 🗻 View
The view of Mount Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi in the evening is a breathtaking experience. As the sun begins to set, the sky transforms into a canvas of warm hues—golden yellows, soft pinks, and deep oranges. The majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji stands tall against this colorful backdrop, its snow-capped peak glowing softly in the fading light.
The still waters of Lake Kawaguchi reflect the stunning scenery, creating a mirror image of the mountain and the sky above. The reflection adds a sense of symmetry and tranquility to the scene, enhancing its natural beauty.
As twilight deepens, the colors shift to deeper blues and purples, and the first stars begin to twinkle in the sky. The serene atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful evening walk along the lake's shore, offering an unforgettable and serene experience for all who visit. 🌅✨✨✨

Charming Lake Kawaguchi during falls
Lake kawaguchi during falls is very adorable, there’s snow on the Mt fuji, the leaves had turned red, and if you are lucky enough like us, can get the best view of mt fuji.
We chose to rent a car, so that our trip can be more flexible, saved a lots of time on waiting for public transport and can get into the car to get ourselves warm whenever we are shaking under the cold wind. But traffic can be heavy during weekend.

#createwithtrip to Lake Kawaguchiko should include an afternoon stroll along the lake at Nagasaki Park.
This lesser known spot is accessible via the shuttle bus around the lake, you should stop at either Sunnide Resort or after Shuhoukaku Kogetsu.
This is a rather flat path, you can get a fabulous view of Mount Fuji on a clear day and along the park, you can see some nice but empty summer homes facing Mount Fuji.
There are some Sakura trees too if you are there during April for a beautiful pink pathway with Mount Fuji in the background.
Location - Oishi, Fujikawaguchiko, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi 401-0305, Japan

Evening, Night & Day Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji is frequently spoken of, yet the true essence of its majesty can only be grasped through experience. In order to reach here, we boarded the highway bus from Tokyo.

From there, a short walk will lead you to the lake shore, where you'll be greeted by the magnificent view of Mount Fuji reflected in the tranquil waters of Lake Kawaguchi 😍🥰
Oh but be cautious of prickly plants that can cling to your clothing, especially if you're wearing something furry

Fuji Mount
Fuji Mountain.
if you are in the are, u need to book a hotel with the mountain view. In June, you can only see the mountain clearly early in the morning.The fogs or clouds will cover the mountain later in the day. if u go around Lake in the late morning or noon, you won't see the famous mountain
Hotels with mountain view are pricy but totally worth it. It's not an accomplished trip without seeing the main attraction. #fuji #trip #lakekawaguchiko
Majestic mountain, Tokyo, Japan
#2024wish #kawaguchico #mountfuji #lakekawaguchiko ##Tokyo Photo taken in Kawaguchiko Tokyo Japan. It was a great experience to see the mountain with my own eyes for the first time, so different from what seen in photos and videos.
I hope to travel to new destinations to explore the surroundings and be more up to date on my travel vlogs.
Hopefully I can do better travel videos to increase my travel memories and to share with others
