Kawaguchi Lake

The itinerary around Mt. Fuji included a short 10-minute matcha tea experience at Lake Kawaguchi. A small path leads to the beautiful Lake Kawaguchi and the stunning Mt. Fuji Shrine, which also boasts amazing views. Climbing the 400 steps wasn't too tiring, and the scenery was worthwhile. To conclude, you can see an outlet mall with many shops. The view of Mt. Fuji from this side is from another direction and is equally beautiful. The tour guide was very nice. The only downside was the severe traffic on the way back; my butt hurt a bit. However, the tour guide explained that it was due to a holiday, so if you plan to go, try to avoid weekends, otherwise you might have the same problem on the way back.

Our tour guide's lovely smile made for a joyful day 😂, and the trip went smoothly.

Start with a Jam Ends with a Jam. Guide was very good helpful and amazing She tells everything and explain all! Jam on a holiday so it took 3.5hr to go to mt fuji From tokyo. reach the diversion on a 10 min boat ride instead of cable car which is good but too short. head to oshino hakkai and look a beautiful small underground lake. amazing small view but too crowded and i spend 500 usd on souvenirs! crazyly addicted then went to mt fuji but 5h level was close so can only reach 4th level. cold till shaking and i love it!!! snow ia still available on the floor. last to lake and garden then realised its the car park with fuji view. lucky the clouds clear up at 4pm. head back at 5 pm reached 8.30 pm with a massive jam. not sure how but if its a holiday stick to the train!

The trip went smoothly and the experience was great. It's a pity the 5th Station was closed, so we had to reschedule. Having more time would have made it even better.
