Begin your tour at New Tsurgaya climbing the 397 steps for a picture-perfect view of the Five-storied Pagoda, Mount Fuji, and the townscape. Revel in the seasonal beauty, from cherry blossoms to snow-capped winter vistas.
Next, visit the springs of Oshino Hakkai at Fuji's base, formed from filtered snowmelt. These pools offer a serene view of sparkling water set against Mount Fuji. Enjoy a complimentary Japanese grass cake accompanied by the crisp spring water. Here, you can opt to savour Japanese delicacies: Ramen and Unagi (eel) rice (Reference price: 1500 yen per serving). In summer, Oishi Park in Kawaguchiko becomes a lavender haven, backdropped by distant Fuji, and hosts the Kawaguchiko Herb Festival with blooms from June to October. From late October to mid-November, prepare to be awed by the Maple Arch, where the snow on Mount Fuji creates a striking contrast with the fiery red maples.
End your day at the West Lake Healing Rinko Field, a thatched-roof village with vistas of Mount Fuji and the Aokigahara Forest. Since 2006, over 20 restored buildings offer diverse experiences, from dining to workshops.
