Self-driving to Lake Kawaguchi is probably an itinerary recommended by many independent travelers👍🏻 That day, I took the car from Ikebukuro, Tokyo and went straight to Lake Kawaguchi. Arrive in time at around 3pm Checked in to Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine ~ At that time, I couldn’t see the whole of Mount Fuji, I could only see the top of the mountain popping up occasionally and then hiding in the clouds☁️ I turned around and drove to Dashi Park, wanting to try my luck🍀 I didn’t expect to be able to see the beautiful Mount Fuji🗻 Plus the flowers by the river, this view is really chilling Remind everyone to remember to buy an ice cream at the Kawaguchiko Natural Life Museum next door😂 (This time I rushed to take a lot of photos of Mount Fuji before sunset, but by the time we finished taking the photos and wanted to buy it, it was already closed. Regret😔) However, the restaurants and shops in Lake Kawaguchi close very early, so it is recommended that you go out early and buy early ~ #TokyoItinerary #Kawaguchiko

✨For those who have a day trip plan in Kawaguchiko or plan to take the red bus to tour around the lake, try to stop by and see the atmosphere. ✨Starting from when we arrived at Kawaguchiko Station, we walked into the bus ticket office, bought a Sightseeing Bus Pass only, which can be used for 2 days, then walked out to queue in front of the train station. There will be a sign that says it is the red line. ✨Then we took a long bus from No.1 Kawaguchiko St. Station, sat all the way to No.20 Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center Station. This point will be a point where there are quite a lot of people. There are many photo spots and there are souvenir shops, ice cream shops. Most people come to visit this point, sit and relax, enjoy the cool breeze, take pictures, eat ice cream before going to the next station. ✨The next station we got off at was No.17 Itchiku Kubota Art Museum. Cross the road and walk for about 20 meters to reach the entrance to the walkway around the lake. This point is very beautiful. No one blocks the view of Fuji. The area is spacious, you can walk around comfortably. We can walk all the way to the end of the walkway and will come out at Bus Station No. 16. ✨Then take the bus and get off at Station No.9 Sightseeing Boat / Ropeway Ent. There will be quite a few tourists getting off here because it is the point to get on the Ropeway to see the view of Fuji. For those who did not go up to the Chureito Pagoda at Shimoyoshida Station, you can come up here to see it. It is also the point to get off the boat to see the view. For those who want to go up both, you can buy a package Bus + Ropeway + Boat. It will be worth it. And at this station, there is a sweet shop called Fujiyama Cookie. You can buy cookies in the shape of Mt. Fuji as souvenirs. ✨For us, these three stations will be only half a day because in the morning we went up to the Chureito Pagoda and took pictures at the highlight at Shimoyoshida Station. We arrived at Kawaguchiko Station almost noon. But if you ask if the price of the Pass is worth it, traveling for only half a day, for us it is worth it because looking at the price on the bus when we have to pay at each station, it is considered a long ride. And getting on and off at many stations is considered close to the price of the Bus Pass. 📌Price of Sightseeing Bus 2 Day (Red Green Blue Line) 1500 yen/person #sightseeing #bus #Kawaguchiko #traveljapan #ridebus

#2024TravelReview Fuji Five Lakes 2024 In the winter of 2024, I embarked on a journey to Japan, my destination being Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain standing between heaven and earth, and the five lakes surrounding it. This journey not only allowed me to experience the magnificence of nature firsthand, but also gave me a deep understanding of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. #### Lake Kawaguchi: Tranquility in the Morning Light The moment I arrived at Lake Kawaguchi, I was immediately struck by its tranquility. The morning mist slowly rose, and the lake surface was as calm as a mirror, reflecting Mount Fuji in the distance. Mount Fuji in the morning light is covered with a hazy purple halo, as if it were an oil painting carefully drawn by an artist. The cherry blossom trees by the lake are in full bloom, and the pink petals fall in the wind, interweaving with the lake water to form an ode to spring. I sat by the lake, closed my eyes, listened to the birds singing and the sound of water, and felt the pulse of nature. At this moment, time seems to stand still and I become one with this land. #### Lake Yamanaka: The colorful forest in autumn Leaving Lake Kawaguchi, I came to Lake Yamanaka. The mountain lake in autumn is full of colorful trees. Red, orange, yellow, green, the leaves of various colors sparkle with charming luster under the sunlight. Mount Fuji still stands quietly in the distance, but this time it is covered with a golden coat, which contrasts beautifully with the surrounding autumn colors. I strolled along the lake, and every step felt like walking in a painting. The lake water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Occasionally, a fish jumps out of the water, creating ripples. The gentle autumn breeze brings a hint of coolness and the unique poetry of this season. #### West Lake: Purity and Tranquility in Winter The West Lake in winter is covered with a thick layer of white snow, making the whole world pure and peaceful. Mount Fuji looks even more majestic and spectacular against the backdrop of snow. The surface of the lake was frozen and crystal clear, like a huge sapphire. I stood by the lake, looking at Mount Fuji in the distance, and a feeling of awe welled up in my heart. In the winter here, there is no noise, only tranquility. Snowflakes fall, landing on my shoulders and deep in my soul, bringing an indescribable peace. #### Lake Shojin: The vitality and vigor of spring Lake Shojin in spring is full of life and vigor. The cherry blossom trees by the lake are in full bloom again, and the pink petals are falling like rain, covering the entire lake. Mount Fuji appears softer here, complementing the vitality of spring. I sat by the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery, my heart filled with gratitude. Lake Shojin in spring is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a spiritual baptism. #### Yamato no Mori Park: Harmony between nature and humanity Finally, I arrived at Wild Bird Forest Park. There are not only rich natural landscapes here, but also many cultural attractions. The trails in the park are winding and twisting through the woods, making people feel as if they are in a symphony of nature and humanity. There are many species of birds in the park, and their chirping sounds blend with the gurgling sound of the lake to form a wonderful natural symphony. I strolled in the park, feeling the harmony and tranquility here, and my heart was filled with awe and gratitude for nature. #### Conclusion The trip to the Fuji Five Lakes in 2024 made me deeply appreciate the magnificence of nature and the harmony of humanity. Every scene here is like a poem or a painting, making people linger. I hope that in the future more people can come here, feel the charm of this land, and have a spiritual dialogue with nature. This journey was not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism, which made me better understand the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

When visiting Lake Kawaguchi, remember to visit Oishi Park and Lake Kawaguchi Natural Life Museum. Free admission, free parking for self-driving tours, first come, first served. Passengers can go to Fujikawaguchiko Station and transfer to the Lake Kawaguchi Tour Bus, which takes 15 minutes. The Lake Kawaguchi Tour Bus leaves every 15 minutes and costs 480 yen per trip. Looking at Mount Fuji from a distance, people who see Mount Fuji are so lucky and happy! Just go and test your luck! Different seasons should have different feelings. I feel the sweetness and warmth, the red poppy grass, the pink romantic herbs, and the different varieties of lavender. The autumn breeze is blowing gently, you can walk along the lake, check in and take photos. You can find shops of all sizes, dessert shops, and specialty ice cream in the lifestyle center. The bottle in the store is called "Water from Mount Fuji". The illustration shows that when you open the wrapping paper, you can see Mount Fuji. Buy a bottle immediately and take it home... #河口湖 attractions #Fujiyama check-in attractions #河口湖波波草#Fuji山水

Location: Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center. Take the Red Line bus to get there. The soft-serve ice cream is soft and smooth. No matter how cold the weather is, you have to try it. Eat it with the view of the sunset over Lake Kawaguchiko. See the beautiful Mt. Fuji. I must say that it's awesome. I think every flavor is delicious. The price is not expensive. #dreamdestination

from Tokyo, we can go to Kawaguchiko station by train or bus (cheaper option). scheduled sightseeing bus from the station that’ll take us around Kawaguchiko. there is Red line, Blue line and Green line, each taking a different route. places we visited: pic 1-2: 📍Kawaguchiko Natural Living Centre (Oishi Park). it is the last stop of the red line route. during blooming season, the lavender would be beautiful! the softserve is soooo good! pic 3-5: 📍Fuji Ropeway (something like cable car taking us uphill). also on red line route. quite crowded at noon, but the view is worth it! pic 6-11: 📍Saiko Iyashi no sato nenba (a former farming village) it is on Green line route, located at lake saiko, about 30mins from Kawaguchiko. Mt. Fuji looks closer from here. #travel #mytripvlog #passionpassport #2023travelwish #fuji #japan
