The itinerary is fulfilling but not rushed. It is a selected route for in-depth experience of Mount Fuji and the surrounding natural culture!
Located at the northeast corner of Lake Yamanaka, the plain shore is an excellent viewing spot where you can experience the beauty of nature in 360 degrees. The view here is wide and there are no tall obstructions. It is a popular spot to enjoy the magnificent full view of Mount Fuji from the front. Especially in the morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the image of Mount Fuji, forming a dreamy "reverse Fuji" scene that is breathtaking.
The KABA amphibious bus is a super cool travel experience, and it can be called the "Transformer" of transportation. This bus can switch freely between land and water, allowing you to unlock dual scenery at once! It adopts a cute cartoon design and the body color is bright, especially suitable for taking photos and checking in.
When driving, it travels through the streets like an ordinary bus; when entering the water, it only takes a few seconds to turn into a small cruise ship, taking you to sail leisurely in the lake or river. Taking the KABA bus is not only a visual feast, but also a unique adventure. It is especially suitable for families with children or friends who want to experience novelty during travel.
You can also choose to take a 25-minute tour on the Yamanakako sightseeing boat "Shiratori Lake (Swan Lake)", where you can leisurely enjoy the pleasant scenery of Yamanakako and the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji. The entire hull is shaped like a beautiful swan, just like the concept of "Japan's most beautiful swan floating on Yamanakako at the foot of Japan's No. 1 Mount Fuji". It has won many awards and was designed by Japan's representative designer Mitooka Eiji. The white bird moving leisurely on the lake is both graceful and cute.
Optional: Yamanakako Bicycle Ride Experience. Among the Fuji Five Lakes, Yamanakako is the largest and highest lake, and it is also one of the lakes where you can see the majestic Mount Fuji up close. There is a complete cycling path around the lake (about 13 kilometers in total). This ride is not only a tour around the lake, but also a "body, mind and soul" experience that combines nature, health and the beauty of Mount Fuji.
Oshino Hakkai: Located in a quiet little village between Mount Fuji and Lake Yamanaka, Oshino Hakkai is a famous water sanctuary consisting of eight natural spring pools formed by the melting snow of Mount Fuji. It is known as one of the "100 Famous Waters of Japan" and is also a national natural monument. The spring water here is crystal clear all year round, the water temperature is stable, and it almost never freezes even in the cold winter.
The eight spring pools are: Yongchi, Kagamichi, Acoruschi, Suzuchi, Choshichi, Ditetsuchi, Okamachi, and Deguchi. Each pool has its own unique legend and style. The spring water has been naturally filtered through the volcanic rock layers of Mount Fuji for decades, and tastes clear and sweet. Many tourists come here just to taste this "water of life". Locals even spread the legend that "drinking this spring water can prolong life."
Oishi Park is a famous flower viewing spot, and the trails in the park are known as the "Flower Street". Tulips and rape flowers bloom from late April, broom grass blooms from August to September, and sage and cosmos bloom from October onwards. You can enjoy the beauty of seasonal flowers and Mount Fuji in one frame. The best time to view the famous lavender is from late June to mid-July, and it is also the main venue for the "Kawaguchiko Herb Festival" during the same period.
We especially recommend the ice cream made from local fresh milk, which has a rich and smooth taste, is refreshing and not greasy, and melts in one bite.

Oshino Hakkai offers excellent opportunities to view Mount Fuji, particularly on clear days. The village's traditional architecture, combined with the reflective surfaces of its ponds, creates picturesque foregrounds for photographs of the iconic mountain.
