Minamitsuru District 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.

Oshino Hakkai

#2024wish Oshino Hakkai is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, it is a small village in the Fuji Five Lake Region, located between Lake Kawaguchio and Lake Yamanakako on the site of the former sixth Lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The ponds are quite deep and have interesting freshwater plant life and large fish that make a visit to the ponds almost like visiting an aquarium. It has been developed into tourist attractions and become quite crowded with visitors. The atmosphere there is nice. You also can find souvenirs and food vendors there. The closest train station is Fujisan Station on the Fuji Kyuko Line. A 20 minute bus ride will take you to Oshino Hakkai Iriguchi bus stop which is a five minute walk to the main entrance. I wish to go Alaska! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #japan

World Heritage: Oshino-Hakkai, Tokyo 🇯🇵

#schoolholidays When on a roadtrip around Tokyo, we had the opportunity to stop by Oshino-Hakkai, and even though it’s the start of winter and the weather was getting more gloomy, it was still very tranquil and lovely. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Oshino-Hakkai is a beautiful village with many clear fish ponds with water from Mount Fuji’s melting snow. Well worth a visit as it’s really peaceful and quaint. My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5! #unesco

Japan travel recommendation for photo spots at the foot of Mount Fuji 🗻📷

Image 1-6: (Lakefront outside the Mokuhankan Art Museum at Lake Kawaguchi, navigable on the north bank of Lake Kawaguchi) On the lakeside trail on the north bank of Lake Kawaguchi, there are steps leading to the lake. Personally, I like the sense of the picture taken by the photographer from a distance with a telephoto lens, where the characters blend into the scene, creating a contrast between the magnificent Mount Fuji and the miniature figures. I really love this spot, where there are rows of cherry blossom trees along the trail. When they are in full bloom, the cherry blossoms 🌸 nearby and Mount Fuji in the distance make for a stunning cover photo. There is also a coffee shop here. If you have enough time, you can enjoy a cup of coffee here and quietly appreciate the beautiful moment of gazing at Mount Fuji. . Image 7-9: (Rikawa Clock Shop) When using a telephoto lens, the image can be compressed, making Mount Fuji appear very close and spectacular. However, I don't really recommend this location as there are a lot of cars and people, and there are currently two traffic administrators guarding the area, making it difficult to take photos. . Image 10-11: (Lawson convenience store) Not sure who was the first to discover this place, but there are definitely eyes👀 that can appreciate its beauty. It's just hard to take pictures with all the traffic. . There are also several classic places that we didn't get to visit. Fuji Asama Shrine in Shinzan, Tenkuu Karuizawa, Reagan-ya, and Makaino Farm, didn't have enough time to visit them all, will go again next time. . At the foot of Mount Fuji, there are various cherry blossom viewing spots: the fifth station, Oishi Park, Gassho Village, Shiraito Falls, hot spring hotels, etc. If you wnat to take a visit in cherry blossom season, you can take photos at these places. 📷: Fujifilm XS10 .

Wonderful view of Mt Fuji!

Visited Oishi park to try to see Mt Fuji.. it was a cloudy day but thankfully the shy Fuji-San appeared for a brief moment at the end of the 45min visit there!

Best weather for Mount Fuji

We were blessed with great weather when we were in Japan. Seeing Mount Fuji so clearly makes the trip so much more worthwhile. #mustvisit #mustdo #mountfuji #japan

Oishi Park

Oishi park is just near the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center. This scenic park in Fujikawaguchiko Town features views of both the lake and of Mt. Fuji. Since this is nature trip, you can see different kind of plants and trees, but i look for a japanese maple leaf tree. We travelled here October so the mount Fuji's top is not yet white or iced, and the plants were still green, so if you come to visit this in the near future, either winter or spring time, or fall. This road trip takes us whole day, we leave Tokyo at 8am, we came back to hotel at almost midnight. How to get here? Train for more than an hour, then bus 30-45 minutes. This are have restaurants, playgrounds for kids, and of course good for photography or picture taking. Seems sp far, but worth the travel. #urbanexplorer #roadtrip #roadtrips #naturalwonders #naturalpark #naturalhistoricpark #japantravel #tokyotrip

Amusing Amusement Park

#wheretogo For adrenaline seeker, you guys can pay a visit to the Fuji Q Highland. An amazing amusement park situated in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan. It took around 2 hour by bus from Tokyo Station. The most cool things about this place are the astounding view of Mount Fuji and abundance of world record of thrill rides such as Fujiyama, Do-Dodonpa, Takabisha, or Eejanaika. The entrance fee for a day is ¥6,400. I guarantee you will have a splendid moments here.

hike up to Mount Fuji

the main purpose to Japan was to climb Mount Fuji. after spending three days at Tokyo Disneyland, Fuji-Q Highland & Tokyo Sea, we think its already time for a hike. we started by braving the new adventure through Yoshida Trail from Subaru Line 5th Station (2305m) up to Gansomuro 8th Station (3250m) before heading for summit. It was already dark when we reached Gansomuro because we made a compulsory camera & Foursquare stop at every 8 hut. anyway, the ascent to #fujisan wouldn't be such a headache if you utilize all 12 huts along d way! i also took a break at Taishi-kan (3100m) while having d mandatory picture session, toilet & wifi fix! atleast i'm pretty sure all 7 of us did!that what took us around 5 and a half hour to reach Gansomuro (3250m) while other hikers usually would reach there in 4 hours we reached the summit and witnessed the beautiful sunrise. although it was quite packed with other hikers in top of the mountain #hiking #mountfuji #fujisan #japan

Awed at First Sight! i am truly blessed to get a glimpse of the majestic Mount Fuji on my first trip to Japan. At Station 5, it offered a picture perfect spot and places of great food and souvenirs. Mt Fuji is a sight to behold and a remarkable lifetime experience. #merrychristmas

Being at the 5th Station is standing directly on Mt Fuji itself even if you did not hike further to the top. The trail is there at the side and many people did go on the trail for a short distance, as I did too and its a nice opportunity to gauge if you're ready to hike to the top in the near future. Despite the large number of tourists, this was a magical place to visit. The weather was extremely kind to us, giving amazing views down the mountain. We then went to an Information Centre, about thirty minutes down the mountain and watched an informative video about the history and activities to be experienced there. #givethanks #givethanks
