It was pretty good, with all the exciting rides. I recommend buying a Premium Pass on site. Even if you buy one in advance, you'll have to return it if the ride isn't working. We caught one, which was probably a coincidence. The view of Mount Fuji was nice. Oh, and I did catch a security check where the staff treated foreigners differently, making them queue up again while locals didn't have to, so they could just cut in front. It was a bit disgusting. Everything else was pretty good. It had just rained the day before, so the view of Mount Fuji was absolutely stunning.
Very worth to visit and bring kids to have fun here, reasonable price for all you ride ticket and a lot of food stalls and food court you can purchase foods and drinks

Watch the whole video. Japanese commentary. Bring the kids to experience it and he feels it is very fresh. You must book the tickets in advance. I thought I would buy the tickets on the day, but I accidentally saw that there was a ticket here and wanted to book it in advance. At that time, it showed that there were only 3 tickets for noon on a certain day in my itinerary in the week before and after, and the others were all booked.
[Travel Sharing] KABA Hippo Bus | First experience of Lake Yamanaka Amphibious Bus!
This time to Mount Fuji, I specially arranged to take the legendary KABA BUS (Hippo Bus).
Location: Lake Yamanaka (one of the Five Lakes of Fuji)
The bus leaves right by the lake in the mountains. It looks like a giant hippopotamus. The whole bus is attractive enough - perfect for photography!
The biggest highlight: it's fun to use both land and water
At first it is a slow drive on land, with multilingual tours on the car that will introduce nearby attractions, Mount Fuji trivia, relaxed and interesting.
The most anticipated is the moment the bus rushes into the lake, it changes into a boat in a second, it's really shocking! Although it was a bit nervous, the moment of splashing water was super cool, many passengers shouted out, and I did
Beautiful scenery: See Mount Fuji from the lake
Looking at Mount Fuji from the lake is completely postcard-beautiful! If the weather is nice, you will also have a chance to take a picture of the reflection of Mount Fuji, which is fantastic ~
Itinerary Information:
• Duration: about 45 minutes (land + water)
• Tickets: ¥2,200 for adults/¥1,100 for children
• Early reservation online is recommended as it fills quickly during peak season!
Tips to share:
• **If you want to take beautiful photos you have to grab the window seat! **We were not seated that day, a bit unwilling ~
• It is best to take it in the morning hours, where the weather will be more stable
• The whole ride will not be dizzy, even people like me who are prone to motion sickness waves say OK

this art museum is full of wonders , you can enjoy the breathtaking scene of the mount fuji and a lake walk afterwards for the tour
It's a place you can spend half a day in. The art gallery is beautifully built, and there are special performances such as musical fountains, sand paintings, and automatic musical instruments. There is also a beautiful Western restaurant where you can have a leisurely meal and see Mount Fuji.
