-Attraction Introduction-
[Fujikyu Train Experience] When you come to Japan, you must take a train to Mount Fuji! Train route: Shimoyoshida Station - Gekkeji Station - Mount Fuji - Fuji-Q Highland - Kawaguchiko Station. Don't miss the beautiful 1-minute ride between Shimoyoshida Station and Gekkeji Station!
[Lawson Convenience Store] A super popular convenience store in front of Lake Kawaguchi, with Mount Fuji in the background, perfect for travel photography.
【Lake Yamanaka - Hirano no Shore】 When visiting Lake Yamanaka, you must check out the stunning hidden gem of Mount Fuji - Hirano no Shore. The lake reflects the complete "inverted Mount Fuji", making you feel like you are in a mirror of the sky.
【Nikawa Watch Shop】 When you step onto this land, it's as if you've entered a corner forgotten by time. The buildings on both sides of the street are full of Japanese style, simple yet elegant. And Nikawa Watch Shop is quietly nestled among them, its unique sign shining in the sunlight, as if telling a story of bygone years.
【Arakurayama Sengen Park】 Offers a stunning panoramic view of Mount Fuji, including the five-story pagoda and the cityscape of Fujiyoshida.
【Kawaguchiko Daishi Park】 Enjoy flower viewing, photography, and the tranquility of nature. Lavender blooms in summer, and autumn foliage provides stunning views of the lake and mountains.
【Maple Leaf Corridor】 The maple branches and leaves on both sides of the corridor overlap and intertwine, and the fallen leaves spread the ground into a red "carpet", just like a magnificent maple leaf tunnel. Taking advantage of the cool autumn scenery, it is also a good place to go for a bike ride!

FAQ
The primary train route from central Tokyo to the Mt. Fuji area typically involves taking the JR Chuo Line from Shinjuku Station to Otsuki Station. From Otsuki, you transfer to the private Fujikyu Railway line, which then takes you directly to Kawaguchiko Station, a central hub for exploring the region. This route offers a convenient and accessible way to reach Mt. Fuji.
A typical train journey from central Tokyo, such as Shinjuku Station, to the Mt. Fuji region (Kawaguchiko Station) usually takes around 2 to 2.5 hours. This duration includes the necessary transfer at Otsuki Station from the JR line to the Fujikyu Railway. Direct limited express services like the Fuji Excursion can sometimes offer a slightly faster and more seamless connection.
The Fujikyu Railway journey to Mt. Fuji is renowned for its picturesque scenery. As the train travels through the Fuji Five Lakes area, passengers can enjoy stunning vistas of the surrounding natural landscapes, including dense forests and charming local towns. Most notably, the journey provides increasingly clearer and closer views of the majestic Mt. Fuji itself, offering excellent photo opportunities.
Yes, the Fujikyu Railway line is specifically designed to offer direct and impressive views of Mt. Fuji. The train's route through the Fuji Five Lakes region allows passengers to frequently catch clear, unobstructed glimpses of the iconic peak from their seats, especially on clear days. This makes the train journey itself part of the sightseeing experience.
Both trains and buses are viable options for reaching the Mt. Fuji region. Trains, particularly the Fujikyu Railway, often provide a scenic and generally reliable experience, with less susceptibility to traffic. Buses, such as those from Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal, can be more direct from certain locations but may face traffic delays, especially during peak travel times or holidays. Trains typically offer a more consistent travel time.
To explore attractions around Mt. Fuji such as Lake Kawaguchi Oishi Park and Arakurayama Sengen Park without a private car, visitors can utilize the comprehensive local sightseeing bus network. The Kawaguchiko Sightseeing Bus (Red Line) and Saiko Sightseeing Bus (Green Line) are popular choices, providing convenient stops at most major points of interest. Rental bicycles are also a pleasant option for exploring the Kawaguchiko area at your own pace.
At Lake Yamanaka, one of the most sought-after photo opportunities is capturing the beautiful "inverted Fuji" reflection on the water's surface, particularly on calm mornings. Lake Kawaguchi Oishi Park is famous for its panoramic views of Mt. Fuji framed by seasonal flowers. Depending on the time of year, you can photograph Mt. Fuji with vibrant lavender fields in summer or crimson kochia plants in autumn, creating iconic and colorful compositions.
Arakurayama Sengen Park is renowned for its iconic view of Mt. Fuji, framed by a pagoda and seasonal elements like cherry blossoms or autumn leaves, offering a postcard-perfect scene after a climb. In the Fujiyoshida area, visitors can immerse themselves in local charm by exploring traditional streets and visiting unique spots like the Nikkawa clock shops and distinctive Lawson convenience stores, which often provide charming, understated backdrops with Mt. Fuji in the distance.
