Lake Kawaguchi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I specifically flew to Japan for the maple corridor under Mount Fuji
Hi, I am 11🍁
Finally came to Japan to see the maple leaves! The red of the maple leaf corridor at Lake Kawaguchi is really like a scene in a Japanese anime, taken on November 19, the maple leaves are still red and yellow gradient, it is estimated that there are 2 weeks of viewing period.
.
The entire maple leaf corridor is not long, the branches on both sides form a natural arch. Under the sunlight, the maple leaves and ginkgo are shining, really like a Japanese anime.
.
It is recommended to rent an electric bicycle when you come to the maple leaf corridor, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful. Depart from Lake Kawaguchi Station and ride along Lake Kawaguchi Bridge. The round trip is 9 kilometers, and it is not tiring to play and ride.
.
🚴♀️Rental suggestions
▫️Rent a car early, start queuing around 9 o'clock
▫️There are many uphill roads along the way, choose electric bicycles to save effort‼️
▫️There are many rental shops near Lake Kawaguchi Station, Google Map search "bike rental", rent a car nearby
▫️The shop where I rent a car is "81cake", 100 meters to the right of the station, the bicycle is very good-looking
.
🍁Play suggestions
▫️Maple leaf viewing time is late November to early December
▫️11 am and 3 pm, the sunlight is softer
▫️It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes to avoid the same color as the scenery
▫️One-day tour can arrange the maple leaf corridor in the morning, and the new warehouse Shanjian Shrine and Hikawa watch in the afternoon.
.
I hope everyone can see the red maple leaves🍁

Mount Fuji {No check-in} Day Tour
🚌Shinjuku Station Round trip Kawaguchiko Station
✨Tips:
1. Buy round-trip bus tickets online in advance! One-way 2200JPY/person
I bought the ticket a week in advance after referring to the 'Fujimi Forecast' on Google for the visibility of Mount Fuji. At that time, tickets for early departures were sold out. If you have high requirements for the completion of the plan, be sure to buy in advance!
2. Not only Shinjuku Station, but also Shibuya Station, Akihabara, etc., can be chosen according to proximity (accommodation location).
📍Kawaguchiko Tenjo-yama Park
The park is perfect for hiking up and down the mountain during the maple leaf season! It takes about an hour to walk one way, stop and take pictures. If you have plenty of time and are willing to climb the mountain, it is highly recommended
Stop searching! The complete guide to visiting Lake Kawaguchi is here
Lake Kawaguchi is one of the Fuji Five Lakes, and it offers great views in different seasons. Moreover, Lake Kawaguchi is well developed. After reading my content, you can enjoy Lake Kawaguchi like a nanny.
🚘Transportation: There are two ways to get to Lake Kawaguchi, one is by bus or train. My suggestion is to take the bus, which is direct and cheaper, around 100 RMB. You can buy it at the long-distance bus station at Shinjuku Station.
⛩️Attractions: There are many hot spring hotels around Lake Kawaguchi, and choosing a hot spring hotel is a good choice. In addition, you can visit Asama Shrine. When you get off at Lake Kawaguchi, you will see the popular convenience store in the second picture. Also, the boat tour of Lake Kawaguchi is worth a try.
💰Cost: If you choose to return on the same day, the daily cost may be around 200 RMB for transportation and about 300 RMB for attractions.
Tour Time: It is recommended to take the earliest bus to get there, so the queue will be less. If you plan to return on the same day, 6-8 hours is recommended.

World Heritage: Oshino-Hakkai, Tokyo 🇯🇵
#schoolholidays
When on a roadtrip around Tokyo, we had the opportunity to stop by Oshino-Hakkai, and even though it’s the start of winter and the weather was getting more gloomy, it was still very tranquil and lovely.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Oshino-Hakkai is a beautiful village with many clear fish ponds with water from Mount Fuji’s melting snow.
Well worth a visit as it’s really peaceful and quaint.
My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!
#unesco
UNESCO listed Oshino Hakkai 🐟🐟
#timetotravel
Destination - Roughly every other bus between Kawaguchiko Station and Gotemba (approximately one per hour) makes a small detour via Oshino Hakkai (see timetable). Furthermore, the Fujikko tourist buses and the Mount Fuji World Heritage Loop buses also make a stop at Oshino Hakkai. Get off at the "Oshino Hakkai" bus stop.
Avg. Price per Person - free
Oshino Hakkai is a popular touristy place which is set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako.
The ponds are quite deep with interesting freshwater plant life and large colorful fishes. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.

Oishi Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Japan travel recommendation for photo spots at the foot of Mount Fuji 🗻📷
Image 1-6: (Lakefront outside the Mokuhankan Art Museum at Lake Kawaguchi, navigable on the north bank of Lake Kawaguchi)
On the lakeside trail on the north bank of Lake Kawaguchi, there are steps leading to the lake. Personally, I like the sense of the picture taken by the photographer from a distance with a telephoto lens, where the characters blend into the scene, creating a contrast between the magnificent Mount Fuji and the miniature figures.
I really love this spot, where there are rows of cherry blossom trees along the trail. When they are in full bloom, the cherry blossoms 🌸 nearby and Mount Fuji in the distance make for a stunning cover photo.
There is also a coffee shop here. If you have enough time, you can enjoy a cup of coffee here and quietly appreciate the beautiful moment of gazing at Mount Fuji.
.
Image 7-9: (Rikawa Clock Shop)
When using a telephoto lens, the image can be compressed, making Mount Fuji appear very close and spectacular.
However, I don't really recommend this location as there are a lot of cars and people, and there are currently two traffic administrators guarding the area, making it difficult to take photos.
.
Image 10-11: (Lawson convenience store)
Not sure who was the first to discover this place, but there are definitely eyes👀 that can appreciate its beauty. It's just hard to take pictures with all the traffic.
.
There are also several classic places that we didn't get to visit.
Fuji Asama Shrine in Shinzan, Tenkuu Karuizawa, Reagan-ya, and Makaino Farm, didn't have enough time to visit them all, will go again next time.
.
At the foot of Mount Fuji, there are various cherry blossom viewing spots: the fifth station, Oishi Park, Gassho Village, Shiraito Falls, hot spring hotels, etc.
If you wnat to take a visit in cherry blossom season, you can take photos at these places.

Wonderful view of Mt Fuji!
Visited Oishi park to try to see Mt Fuji.. it was a cloudy day but thankfully the shy Fuji-San appeared for a brief moment at the end of the 45min visit there!
Best weather for Mount Fuji
We were blessed with great weather when we were in Japan. Seeing Mount Fuji so clearly makes the trip so much more worthwhile. #mustvisit #mustdo #mountfuji #japan
Oishi Park
Oishi park is just near the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center. This scenic park in Fujikawaguchiko Town features views of both the lake and of Mt. Fuji. Since this is nature trip, you can see different kind of plants and trees, but i look for a japanese maple leaf tree. We travelled here October so the mount Fuji's top is not yet white or iced, and the plants were still green, so if you come to visit this in the near future, either winter or spring time, or fall. This road trip takes us whole day, we leave Tokyo at 8am, we came back to hotel at almost midnight. How to get here? Train for more than an hour, then bus 30-45 minutes. This are have restaurants, playgrounds for kids, and of course good for photography or picture taking. Seems sp far, but worth the travel.

Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba (Traditional Japanese Village) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Saiko Iyashino- Sato Nenba
I am so obsessed with this area and I stay there for four days also barely cover half of it ( but my ways of covering is slowly and thoroughly) .
Most of the area will be covered by three different routes of sightseeing buses
1. Red - near kawaguchiko around and every 20 mins interval
2. Green - loop a bit further until saiko and every hourly
3. Blue - cover unit shojiko and every two hourly .
So , depend on your interest, you can choose to go . And by payment they have few options
- two days sightseeing bus unlimited is 1500¥
- can use IC card , just tap and tap out and pay as shown in the screen and
- also you can pay by cash , but won’t change extra ( so be ready amount )
And today I went to Saiko Iyashino-Sato Nenba. , old Japanese traditional houses and something like Gifu ( shirakawago) and the Mian highlight is can see Mount Fuji on clear day , but today she is playing high and seek with me 🤭🤭. After that , I walked along lane Saiko - no tourist at all and some local people fishing around and chill their life 😝😆!!
If you are in kawaguchiko area , make sure you take those sightseeing buses and enjoy the surroundings. See you all on the other side of the world 🌎!!

A beautiful traditional village!
If you are looking to visit a traditional Japanese village and a great Mt Fuji view - Saiko Iyashus would be your great choice.
The admission fee to the village was 500 yen per adult. All structures and/or hut of the villages had been converted into souvenir stores, art gallery/craft shops and restaurant. For Muslim friends, there is restaurant serving halal Japanese food and a place for prayer too.
Overall it was an amazing experience.
Saiko Iyashinosato Nenba (Japanese Traditional Village)
My trip to Saiko Iyashinosato Nenba (Japanese Traditional Village) was an amazing and enjoyable experience near Mount Fuji in Japan. Considered one of the famous tourist attractions in the area, this village offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore Japan's cultural heritage.
When I arrived at Saiko Iyashinosato Nenba, I fell in love with the natural beauty surrounding the village and the serene atmosphere that pervaded the place. Featuring a collection of traditional Japanese houses made of wood and straw, the village provides a true sense of life from ancient centuries.
Traditional Japanese village
#2024wish Mesmerizing!!!! With the view of Mt. Fuji in the background….you’ll be out of words. Try to visit on weekdays so you can enjoy its beauty with only few people exploring around. They also have rentals if you want to try on Japanese traditional clothings during the old time. Thatched roofed houses were really incredible. The craftsmanship they used were so fascinating! Try to see it yourself. Recommendable👍🏼
I wish to visit more in 2024
