Things to do near Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko | 2 day trip in Kawaguchiko

Mt Fuji is one of Japan’s most iconic symbols and one of the best places to view it is in Fuji-kawaguchiko. We’ll show you some things to do near Mt. Fuji and where you can have a full view of Mt. Fuji. These are just some of the MANY things to do in Kawaguchiko.
We stayed at Villa Ururun Kawaguchiko (not sponsored) and we had the perfect view of Mt. Fuji from our villa. We did a full video tour on that and you should definitely check it out to know what I’m talking about. It was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in.

Most of our meals were from conbini (7/11) and not shown BUT we ate at this restaurant called Koshu Hot Kanjukuya Kawaguchiko (not sponsored). The food was sooo delicious and we tried Yamanashi’s specialty, which is HOTO. Definitely recommend coming here!
Kawaguchi Asama Shrine is a world heritage cultural heritage located just 4 minutes by car from our cottage. There are cedar trees that are 1200 years old. Not too far away is the Tenku no Torii. Tenku no Torii, also known as Torii in the sky, is a perfect place to capture Mt. Fuji’s beauty behind the torii.
Lake Kawaguchiko is the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes and there are so many things to do in this area! The things we did were the boat excursion and the pedal duck/boat. Other things you can definitely and should do are the Ropeway and visiting the other museums in the area. This area can definitely be a day trip from Tokyo!
Fujiyoshida (Shimoyoshida) is also a great place to visit because it’s super close to Kawaguchiko. We showed you the street where many photographers come to take Mt. Fuji’s photo street view. Check out other places in Fujiyoshida such as Chureito Pagoda and Fuji Q Highland!
Oishi Park is located on the north side of Lake Kawaguchiko and a must visit during Spring, Summer, and Fall. Winter can be dull BUT you get the perfect view of Mt. Fuji and it’s snowcapped peak.
Lastly, we went to Oshino Hakkai, which is my favorite because it just felt so serene and the neighborhood in Oshino reminded me of an older, more traditional Japanese neighborhood. We didn't go to all the ponds, but the view in Oshino Village made up for it.

Definitely! Haven’t been to all five lakes but the views from Lake Lawaguchi are beautiful.
