What to expect

Embark on a journey to the heart of Japan, starting with Lake Kawaguchi and Oishi Park. Nestled amidst the five lakes, it offers unparalleled views of Mt. Fuji's. In spring, admire the reflection of Mount Fuji from the north side of Lake Kawaguchi and the cherry blossoms in full bloom, a symbol of Japan's beauty. In summer, you can watch the lavender bloom, which creates a beautiful sea of purple flowers.

Next, venture to Oshino Hakkai, home to eight crystal clear springs born from Mt. Fuji's melted snow. The water is so pure you can spot fish dart beneath the surface. This natural spectacle, combined with the backdrop of Mount Fuji, has attracted photographers from around the world, eager to capture its ethereal beauty.

Finally, discover Lake Yamanaka. Here, you'll board the amphibious bus "Yamanakako No Kaba", plunging into the lake for an unforgettable experience. Feel the wind in your hair and the mist on your skin as you explore nature's wonders. Your last stop is Hiranohama, where a leisurely stroll might reward you with a rare sight - swans and Mt. Fuji sharing the same frame. This tour promises not just sights but experiences that will linger in your memory long after you've returned home.
