#Lake Kawaguchi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.
View of Mount Fuji from Kawaguchiko Lake
#fallishere
We had the most amazing views of Mount Fuji for a good half day!
We were staying in Shinjuku but decided last minute to go spend the day cycling around lake Kawaguchiko and I’m so glad we did!
It has been my absolute favourite day since being here.
We caught a bus from Shinjuku station at 6am arriving around 8am to very clear views of Mount Fuji.
There’s lots of places and museums to stop at along the way too.
We caught a return bus back to Shinjuku at 5pm.
Definitely worth doing a day trip here if you are staying in Tokyo.
Perfect place to see Mount Fuji! 🗻
If you want a panoramic view of the famous Mount Fuji in Japan, head to Kawaguchi Lake. Regardless of what season you visit in, you are sure to be mesmerised by the exceptional natural beauty of this place. This lake is located at the lowest elevation with respect to Mount Fuji, allowing you to take in the sea, sky, and mountain all in one. It’s a must-go! Take a bus or train from Tokyo.
Address: Fujikawaguchiko-cho, Yamanashi Prefecture

Beside Lake Kawaguchi
Lake Kawaguchi
Red maple leaves by Lake Kawaguchi,
Green pines stand on Mount Fuji.
Harvesting fruits in golden autumn,
Waiting for the spring breeze in the Year of the Dragon.
Lake Kawaguchi in Japan is located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, where the scenery varies in four seasons. Cherry blossoms in spring, lavender in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snowy white in winter. On one side are the red leaves by the lake, on the other side is Mount Fuji, which is refreshing.

Autumn Falling for Fall
#fallingvibes
here in Lake Kaguchiko and Hello Fuji-San! Visit Japan during fall and the amazing scenery can be enjoyed with the glorious view of Mt. Fuji on the background yas!
Lake Kawaguchiko serves as the main point of entry to this famous lake region. It is the second largest of the Five Lakes in terms of surface area and the second most shallow depth. Lake Kawaguchiko attracts especially many visitors in spring during cherry blossom season and in autumn when the fall foliage comes out in full force.
How to go here from Tokyo, you can take direct bus or Train with JR railway
Exploring Lake Kawaguchi by Bike
#kawaguchiko
Cycling is the best to get around the lake. There are bike rentals just outside the train station and it is only priced from 1500 yen for a full day rental until 7pm. Riding on the bike allows you to experience the beauty of the lake and scenery around the lake area at your own pace. The ride around the lake is relatively easy (though a mountain bike is recommended for comfort). It’s a 20km route with flat terrains so it’s doable for many people. It can be completed in 3 hours cycling at a leisurely pace.
There are many wild flowers around the cycling route so it’s a pretty sight while riding on the bike. Mount Fuji can even be seen at certain parts of the journey on a clear and cloudless day. It is recommended to start the ride early in the morning to avoid the crowd.
Food options around the lake are aplenty. I recommend Hoto noodles, a local dish made of miso broth and handmade noodles. This dish has a rich broth with many vegetables and meat in it as well, and makes a perfect meal to fuel the rest of the ride.
sunrise at Fuji is the best!
in Fujikawaguchiko, we stayed at K’s Guesthouse. At dawn, we walked about 10minutes to the lake. The sunrise view was insanely beautiful!
It was in March, however the temperature was still at negative at dawn. It was about -5 degree Celsius when we start walking. then when we got back, it was 2-4 degree Celsius
Prepare winter clothes if you’re going to Fuji in early spring.
Fujisan is beautiful at any time, from any angle, BUT at sunrise is magnificent!

Heavenly beautiful lake with Mt Fuji view
Lake Kawaguchi is a heavenly beautiful lake with breathtaking views of Mt Fuji! The surroundings around the Lake is quiet, calm and relaxing. There are also proper walking paths around the lake and it was wonderful experience to have a stroll along the lake.
There are some restaurant and resorts overlooking the beautiful lake. I did a day trip to Lake Kawaguchi and I will definitely come back for a stayover during my next time.
Overall, if you are in Japan, please visit Lake Kawaguchi.
【Lake Kawaguchi Mount Fuji】3-day 2-night itinerary.
#Japanese Attractions
If you come to Lake Kawaguchi, you must come to see Mount Fuji! However, Mount Fuji is subject to the whims of the weather and cannot be forced 🥹, so everyone should be prepared for changes in their itinerary at any time! When the weather is good, try to visit the scenic spots 🗻 because Mount Fuji may hide at any time.
It is better to arrange your itinerary to visit the attractions in the morning. Firstly, there are fewer people, and secondly, the winter sunset is too early. After 3 pm check-in, stay at the hotel 🏨 and enjoy the scenery slowly. If you stay at a hot spring hotel, you can also soak in the hot spring ♨️.

⚠️ Be sure to pay attention to traffic safety! Do not affect traffic as a prerequisite. It is better to come before 9 am in the morning, and take photos quickly and accurately!

【Lake Kawaguchi Hotel】✨Great value for money, simple and stylish with a garden at the foot of Mount Fuji.
#Japanese Hotel
The building is mainly white🤍
There are three floors in total, and the higher the floor, the larger the room size.
The key point is that every room has a great view of Mount Fuji.
The floor-to-ceiling glass balcony allows for perfect viewing of both sunrise and sunset.
In addition, there is a small kitchen in the room, and the equipment and utensils are very complete.
We recommend that you go to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients and cook them in the room.
🤍Room type
We booked the "Mount Fuji View Deluxe Twin Room" on the 1st floor this time.
It costs about 20,000 yen per night (only a little over 1,000 Hong Kong dollars).
The cost performance is super high!
Just now, I saw that there are no available rooms for the next two months🫣
There is a small drawback to the hotel, which is that there is a row of power lines in the view outside the hotel.
But personally, I don't think it has much impact~

Enjoy a refreshing soak in the hot springs of Hakone, Japan - Lake Ashi and Lake Kawaguchi offer stunning views of Mount Fuji.
Near Tokyo, Japan, is the town of Hakone, which can be reached by taking the JR train. Hakone is a great place to soak in hot springs ♨️, with hotels and guesthouses of all sizes offering their own hot springs. We booked a hot spring hotel package with excellent service, and could soak in the hot springs both morning and night. The pools in the morning and evening were different, and we could enjoy the view of Mount Fuji and the surrounding scenery while soaking in the hot springs. It was a true luxury.
Lake Ashi is peaceful and beautiful, and Lake Kawaguchi reflects Mount Fuji. When you wake up in the morning, clouds float over the top of Mount Fuji like a fairyland.
Fuji with Sakura !!
Fuji-San, Mount Fuji - located on the island of Honshū, is the highest mountain in Japan, with a summit elevation of 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft 3 in). It is the second-highest volcano located on an island in Asia (after Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra).
Whoever go to visit Japan, wish to see Mount Fuji . Mount Fuji can be see from nearby cites, from 🚅 train and from the bus and everywhere near by provided the weather is clear.
To me whenever I am in Japan , I am kind of like always lucky to see her every where that I mention.
Here you are , I went to kawaguchiko and stay there for two days to explore Fuji 5 lakes and some famous Fuji view locations plus some Sakura viewing .
I stay in kawaguchiko station , that’s where all the trains and buses easily accessible. They have three different buses run different routes and all buses go to attractions locations and the bus fare can pay by IC cards that you use for almost whole Japan. Hope you enjoy seeing Mount Fuji as much as I do!! See you on the other side of the world 🌎!!

Kawaguchiko
A 2-hour bus ride out of Shibuya Station brought me to Kawaguchiko Station. Lovely place with lots to see, eat, and explore!
Highly recommended to get the tourist sightseeing ticket which includes Ropeway (cable car), boat ride and unlimited bus ride pass. Hop off anywhere and you’ll find a gem! We found a dessert hut! Ate at a French fusion restaurant, walked along parks and took many great pictures!! There are caves to explore too!
One of the most beautiful snow scenes in the world!
That year, the snow scenery in Japan was really beautiful!
The small town at the foot of Mount Fuji, don't know what town Lake Kawaguchi is.
Living in a hot spring hotel in town,
At night, soak in the hot springs while listening to the sound of snowfall!
In the morning, when the sun has just risen, you can see it from the hotel room window.
The sun shines on the top of Mount Fuji, the golden peak! Spectacular.
Wake up early and take a walk in town,
Untouched snow scenery, branches covered in snow,
Very quiet and beautiful!

Up Close to Mt Fuji at Sunset
Can you say that you’ve been to Japan without visiting Mt Fuji? No way! And that was exactly what we did during our short road trip around the Fujikawaguchiko region.
It was pretty cloudy the entire day and close to sundown so we were giving up hope on seeing the majestic Mt Fuji. We were just driving down Lake Kawaguchi thinking of where to go for dinner but the weather cleared up so we quickly decided to head to the nearest park to hopefully catch a glimpse of the mountain. And fortunately we did! The view of Mt Fuji was perfect, we could see as far up as the peak. Coupled with the sunset, it was so incredible that I was touched to tears. This was easily one of my most memorable travel moments in 2022.
If anyone is thinking of doing a self drive trip around the region, I highly reccomend it.
My travel wish for 2023 is to have a chance to do another road trip to the same region and to see Mt Fuji in its full glory again.

Falling for Mt Fuji
Visiting the Kawaguchiko area during Fall gives you a pretty good chance for clear skies, amazing view of Mt Fuji wrapped in fiery autumn foliage😍

Fujisan
Beautiful Sakura season in Kawaguchiko and you can see the snow capped Fujisan from anywhere you are around the lake.
Fujikawaguchiko is a popular Autumn tourist destination because of the Maple Corridor. 🍁 The Maple Corridor is a 150cm tunnel full of Maple Trees. During Autumn, this park is also a merry place where the locals hold an annual Autumn Festival. I was there during that timing and aside from marveling at the beautiful colors of the Maple Trees, I was also able to enjoy local food in the festival.

Check it out! The cherry blossoms at Mount Fuji have just started to bloom | Mount Fuji Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide
| Mount Fuji Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide.
The cherry blossoms in Japan's Kanto region (Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kamakura, etc.) are blooming much later than last year. It was originally expected to bloom at the end of March, but it wasn't until the beginning of April, and Mount Fuji won't be in full bloom until the 15th.
🌸This is a cherry blossom update plus guide for April 12th.
⛩️As of April 12th at the Fuji Sengen Shrine
The cherry blossoms are less than 50% bloomed
Expected full bloom date: April 14th, the 13th to 15th should be very good dates for cherry blossom viewing, but it will probably be very crowded, so you might want to consider coming on a Monday or Tuesday.
🚌Kawaguchiko Line Blooming: Our first stop is near the Ubuya inn at Lake Kawaguchi, where you can see a few beautiful trees right after getting off, although there are not many trees, they are all facing Mount Fuji.
Then walking along Lake Kawaguchi, there are also many roadside cherry trees for photo opportunities.
🚏Next is near the Monkey Show Theater stop, take the Kawaguchiko bus there, and after getting off, you can go directly into the small park by the lake, which has many cherry trees, but it's also very crowded, even when the cherry blossoms are only 50% bloomed.
🚄 Transportation Guide
It's better to go to Mount Fuji from Shinjuku, where you can buy a bus ticket for about 2000 yen to get to Kawaguchiko Station. For first-timers going to Mount Fuji, head to Kawaguchiko Station, where there is a tourist center.
Then you can continue to take the bus to cherry blossom viewing spots like Lake Kawaguchiko/Sengen Shrine/Monkey Show Theater.
⏰Suggested time to go: Depart before 10 a.m., a day trip is just right, and you can return at about 5-6 p.m.
After dark at Mount Fuji, restaurants generally close, and buses end earlier, so it's better to come earlier.
