Tokyo Trip to Japan～Visited Kawaguchiko for the first time, and luckily, we saw Mount Fuji on the day we arrived. Although the peak of Mount Fuji had no snow, it was still quite special! I was already very happy to see Mount Fuji～but we couldn't see it the next day! Mount Fuji is truly a rare sight... Day 1: We took the Fuji Excursion from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo to Kawaguchiko, which took about 2 hours. We could already see Mount Fuji before getting off the train…. Watching videos and photos online is common, but seeing Mount Fuji in person is truly magnificent… After getting off the train, we took the Red Line sightseeing bus to the hotel first. I didn't buy a Day pass, so it cost ¥250 per ride. Since it wasn't time to check in at the hotel yet, we had lunch nearby and then went to Tenjoyama Park to take the cable car. The round trip on the cable car cost ¥1000, and we waited for almost 30 minutes. Tenjoyama Park offers a panoramic view of Mount Fuji, but it's not always visible. Often, clouds cover Mount Fuji. There are many photo spots at the observation deck, and playing on the swing costs ¥500 per person. After passing the swing and walking further up, you'll find another observation deck! Be sure to check the last cable car time, or you'll have to walk down the mountain! Next to the cable car station is a shop called FUJIYAMA COOKIE, where all the cookies are shaped like Mount Fuji. Luckily, we made it in time to buy some Mount Fuji cookies! The above is purely personal feelings and sharing

Kawaguchiko is the most bustling of the Fuji Five Lakes, thanks to its proximity to the train station. On our last day, we had to wake up early to head to the eastern side of Kawaguchiko and look south towards Mount Fuji, waiting for the sunrise to reflect the mountain in the lake. To catch the sunrise, we stayed at a ryokan in Yamanakako Azagawa, located on the eastern side of Kawaguchiko. From the ryokan, it was just a short walk to the lakeside to see Mount Fuji. ~ Kawaguchiko ~ The highlight of viewing Mount Fuji from the Fuji Five Lakes is its reflection. We were very fortunate to have clear weather at sunrise, with the sunlight casting a reddish glow on the mountain's peak, creating a breathtaking sight. As expected, Mount Fuji was perfectly reflected in Kawaguchiko. Despite the cold temperatures, it did not deter us from enjoying the elegant view. ~ Kawaguchiko Tenjozan Park ~ After watching the sunrise, we returned to the ryokan for a brief rest and a hearty breakfast before heading out again. We took the cable car to Kawaguchiko Tenjozan Park to enjoy a panoramic view of Kawaguchiko and Mount Fuji. Note that this cable car ride is not covered by the travel pass, marking our first out-of-pocket transportation expense in three days, highlighting the value of the pass. From the top, the view was even more expansive, but unfortunately, clouds had started to gather around Mount Fuji's peak, obscuring the clear view we had just two hours earlier. ~ Chureito Pagoda ~ As we left Kawaguchiko, we took the Fujikyu Railway to another famous spot, Chureito Pagoda in Shimoyoshida. Although the pagoda is located on a hill, the path is manageable with either a slope or stairs, making it accessible for most, though not ideal for the elderly. The unique feature of this spot is the ability to capture both the pagoda and Mount Fuji in one frame, blending traditional Japanese shrine architecture with the iconic mountain. Direct trains from Mount Fuji to Tokyo, such as the Fuji Express or Fuji Excursion, are limited and often fully booked, so it's essential to reserve in advance. The last train departs before dusk, so we had to leave Mount Fuji in the afternoon on our fourth day. This trip was incredibly fulfilling, allowing us to view Mount Fuji from various angles, including from the Enoden train, Shichirigahama Beach, Hakone Pirate Ship, the old Yoshida Shopping Street, the shores of Kawaguchiko, and outside Chureito Pagoda. It covered all the quintessential Japanese experiences. If you're a Mount Fuji enthusiast like me, I highly recommend this four-day, three-night leisurely trip around Mount Fuji. With just one pass, you can explore multiple locations without much hassle, making it very convenient!

#Sakura2024 One of the highlights of this cherry blossom viewing trip is to visit the hot spring hotel in Kawaguchiko. The selection principle is to have a good view of Mount Fuji and Mount Fuji from the hotel. So we chose Ubuya Hotel (to be shared next time♥️) Arriving at Kawaguchiko Station, we took a bus to the hotel. Near the hotel is Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park🥰 As we walked slowly to the cable car station, we admired the cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji along the lake. Completely healed the whole soul. Take the Kawaguchiko Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway to Tenjoyama Park. The beautiful scenery in front of you is an unforgettable moment in life🗻🌸 You can fully enjoy the view of cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji! ! ! ! Friends who go to Kawaguchiko really need to see this unforgettable image♥️ Location: 1163-1 Asakawa, Fujikawaguchiko-cho, Minamituri-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture #Fuji #Tokyo Attractions #Kawaguchiko #Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park #Fuji Panorama Cable Car

I went to Japan just to chase Mount Fuji. I wandered around the foot of Mount Fuji for four out of five days. Finally, I took the cable car up to Tenjoyama Park and took in the stunning panoramic view of Mount Fuji! In order to chase Mount Fuji on this trip, we also went to the 5th Station, Oshino Hakkai and Gotemba outlets. The best place to see the whole thing is Tenjoyama Park. Standing on a high place with no shelter at all, the magnificent view of Mount Fuji from afar is refreshing. It was a bit cloudy and rainy when we went out that day, and we thought we would be in vain. Unexpectedly, the sky gradually cleared up when we were about to leave Oshino Hakkai, and the direct sunlight made us, who were shivering in the cold winter, feel better instantly. When I got to the park, what caught my eye was as spectacular as the photo. I guess it was just my luck that made me happy🤗 There are also small shops around that sell local specialties such as Mount Fuji popsicles and glutinous rice dumplings. When it’s cold, you can buy a hot drink to warm yourself up. Tianshangshan Park has toilets, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and make it convenient for everyone~ #JapanTravel #Japan #Mount Fuji #Kawaguchiko #TianShangShanPark #Fuji Mountain View

#Japan Attractions The surface of Lake Kawaguchi is calm, and there are many ducks swimming freely. You can choose to take a sightseeing boat for ￥1000 or a swan boat for ￥2000 to cruise the lake, and you can choose to take a cable car to go to Tianshan Park (500 one-way and 900 round-trip). The sightseeing boat + cable car package is ￥1600, which allows you to go up the mountain and down the sea, satisfying two wishes at once💓💓 This time I chose to climb the mountain, so I could enjoy every view of Mount Fuji. The mountain is not high, but I had climbed Sengen Park before, so I needed more energy. After passing the Gokoku Shrine, I climbed a long flight of stairs. I was sweating all over. Finally, I arrived at the Taiuji Literary Monument, which is the most beautiful check-in spot in Mount Fuji🏔🤩But there were not many people, so cool😝 Finally, we went up to the Rabbit Shrine and saw cartoon images of a raccoon cat and a rabbit. It turned out to be a fable, and the bell in heaven was rung. However, it felt like there were too many people there, and the view of Mount Fuji was not as good as the platform just now 🤣 Finally, we returned to Kawaguchiko Station before it got dark. Since we bought a round-trip bus, we could take the express bus directly back to Shinjuku, ending our one-day pilgrimage to Mount Fuji.

The Romantic Train Line runs from Otsuki Station to Kawaguchiko Station. It is a popular route for viewing the summit of Mt. Fuji. Both sides of the road are full of beautiful views of flower fields, including Lake Kawaguchiko, and the summit of Mt. Fuji in the background. It takes about 2.30-3 hours from Tokyo to arrive at this city. #TravelAbroad #TravelJapan #VisitFuji

Tenjoyama Park is located at the ropeway station on the mountain behind Funatsuhama, the central tourist area of ​​Lake Kawaguchi. Of course, you can hike up to the park, but if you're like me and hate exercise, you can take the ropeway (lol). From the park, you can see across Lake Kawaguchi, and you can see Mt. Fuji, the sea of ​​trees, and the townscape around Fuji-Q Highland. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Southern Alps. There are also shops, toilets, and rest areas, so hikers can take a break. There are 100,000 hydrangeas planted on the middle slope of Mt. Tenjo, which are in full bloom around July and August, so why not go hiking there sometime?

This trip to Lake Kawaguchi was a true visual and culinary delight. The date "2024/11/15" printed on my cable car ticket indicated that I was visiting in early autumn, with the mountain's maple leaves turning golden and orange, adding a vibrant hue to the landscape. From the cabin of the "Fuji Panorama Ropeway," I gazed down at Lake Kawaguchi below. The lake was as calm as a mirror, with the occasional boat slowly passing by and a bridge spanning the lake in the distance, creating a beautiful scene. As the cable car ascended, I captured photos of the tower and the oncoming cars, appreciating the unique charm of this aerial journey. Upon reaching the summit, my greatest awe was the breathtaking panorama of Mount Fuji. Though lightly shrouded in mist, I could still see the pristine white snow atop the summit and the expansive cityscape below. I particularly like one photo: the beauty of Mount Fuji framed by a Japanese torii lantern with the words "Kawaguchiko" written on it, brimming with Japanese charm. At the summit, I also walked a short distance along the trail. The steps were covered in fallen leaves, and the trees on either side were ablaze with autumn colors. Walking along it was a leisurely and peaceful experience. After descending the mountain, I sampled local specialties. The steaming hot "houtou" (hot spring rolls) simmered in a clay pot, with pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, vegetables, and thick noodles, complemented by a miso broth base, was incredibly appetizing. I also spotted fresh green grapes at a roadside stall. They looked juicy and plump, priced at around 1,000 yen, and I imagine they must have been incredibly delicious. The photos from this trip not only captured the spectacular views from the Mount Fuji cable car, but also the natural beauty of Lake Kawaguchiko, the poetic trails along the summit, and the local specialties. It was a journey filled with wonderful memories. #TenkyousanPark #Kawaguchiko

I didn't get to see Mount Fuji this time... a shame. But it's the motivation for my second visit.

[Kawaguchiko｜A moment of tranquility and magnificence] When I woke up in the morning and opened the curtains, it was as if I had entered a painting - Mount Fuji was reflected on the mirror-like surface of Lake Kawaguchi. This is the legendary "Reverse Fuji". The "Tominoko Hotel" where I stayed was facing this view. You don't need to travel far, just sit quietly by the window to enjoy this wonder of magnificence and tranquility. After breakfast, I rented a bicycle and rode along the lakeside. The Kawaguchiko Lake Trail is flat and comfortable, with lush greenery. On one side is the sparkling lake, and on the other side is the blue sky reflecting Mount Fuji. Even the air is filled with the fragrance and freshness of plants. On the way, I met several travelers who were also riding slowly. We nodded and smiled at each other, as if everyone was moving in the same quiet rhythm. Unknowingly, I came to Oishi Park. This place is famous for seasonal flowers. June is the season when lavender blooms slightly, and the faint fragrance of flowers can be smelled from afar. Standing between the sea of ​​flowers and the lake, Mount Fuji stands in the distance like a guardian god. Flowers, lakes and mountains form a natural and harmonious picture. Lake Kawaguchi is not only charming, but also a place where people can slow down and return to their hearts. Every moment here is worth collecting deeply❤️

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If you ask me, where is the best place in spring to relax and get up early to take a landscape photo? I would say without hesitation - Mt. Fuji Kawaguchiko Ropeway. The most charming thing here is not just the tranquility of Lake Kawaguchi when overlooking from a high altitude, but that in good weather, the entire Mount Fuji will appear clearly before your eyes, like a scene directly from an animation. ⸻ [Highlight 1: Spring-only panoramic view of Mount Fuji] It only takes three minutes to take the cable car to the observation deck on the top of the mountain, but the scenery there is enough to keep you there for thirty minutes. The photo of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi in a sunny day is the one I am most reluctant to delete in my camera. The observatory on the top of the mountain is not big, but it has a cute "Heavenly Bell" and you can see the raccoon cat mascot. Even if you travel alone, you can still feel the warmth and healing. ⸻ [Highlight 2: The transportation method is simple but don’t go wrong] If you want to go to the cable car station, you can walk from Kawaguchiko Station, but it is quite strenuous (about 20 minutes), so we recommend taking the local sightseeing bus (red line). • Round trip cable car ticket is 1,000 yen • Can be combined with the "Kawaguchiko Cruise + Cable Car" package, cost-effective and convenient ⸻ [Highlight 3: The healing time of Mount Fuji during the cherry blossom season] April is the cherry blossom season. The entire top of the cable car mountain is dotted with pink, and appears in the picture together with Mount Fuji. This moment really makes people forget their daily worries and just want to appreciate it quietly. Special reminder: It is recommended to go in the morning when the weather is stable, the light is soft, and the clarity of Mount Fuji is best. ⸻ 【Traveling alone can also heal yourself】 Some places don't require much travel planning. No need to shop or rush, just a mountain, a lake, or a quiet cable car ride can bring healing power. The Mount Fuji Lake Kawaguchi Cable Car is such a place - simple, but the scenery will be remembered for a lifetime. Mount Fuji Cable Car Tour Tips 1. The weather changes quickly, remember to bring clothes When the cable car reaches the top of the mountain, the temperature may be much lower than in the Kawaguchiko area. Even in spring, it is possible to feel cold, especially in the early morning or evening. It is recommended to bring a light jacket to keep warm and comfortable. 2. Best time to visit Like most tourist attractions, the best time to visit the Mount Fuji Cable Car is on a day with stable weather, especially a sunny day. The cherry blossom season in spring and the red leaves season in autumn are the best times to travel, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and take photos. 3. It is recommended to avoid the cable car during peak hours The cable car may be crowded during popular travel periods such as the Chinese New Year, Golden Week and the cherry blossom season. If you want to avoid crowds, you can choose to go at a less popular time, such as in the morning or evening, when there are not only fewer people but also the scenery is most charming. 4. Ticket Information The round-trip cable car ticket is 1,000 yen. In addition to the cable car ticket, you can also choose the "Kawaguchiko Cruise + Cable Car" package, which is both cheap and convenient. If you plan to take multiple trips, you can also check whether there are combo tickets or discount tickets to plan your trip more effectively. 5. Pay attention to your descent time Although the cable car journey is shorter, you will spend some time on the top of the mountain and may have to wait in line for a while before you can take the cable car down the mountain. If you are traveling with elderly people or children, remember to plan your ride in advance. #AprilGoodPlaces #FujiMountAttractions #KawaguchikoRopeway #SpringTourism #IGCheck-inAttractions #HealingScenery #TravelAlone #JapanFreeTravel #AttractionTransportationLazyBag

After the exhilarating swing, we noticed a small trail continuing upward — and, of course, we followed it. A short walk later, we arrived at the topmost viewing platform on Mt. Tenjo — a lesser-known spot that offered the most breathtaking, crowd-free view of Mt. Fuji yet. The air got even quieter up here. No buzzing cameras, no chatter — just the occasional birdsong and the soft crunch of gravel beneath our feet. The platform was simple: a wide wooden deck with a railing and benches, but what it offered was pure magic — a panoramic, elevated view of Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchiko, and the town below. From this higher angle, you could really feel the scale of it all. The lake stretched out calmly, the snow-dusted roofs of Kawaguchiko glowed in the sun, and Mt. Fuji felt impossibly near — sharp, symmetrical, and majestic beyond words. We stayed longer than planned, breathing deeply, taking photos, and simply standing still — grateful for the quiet and the view. Tips: 1. The trail to the top platform is short but a little steep — wear comfortable shoes. 2. This spot is less crowded than the main summit deck — great for peaceful moments. 3. Bring water if the weather’s warm — it’s an extra climb but worth every step. 4. If you’re there on a clear day, this is the spot for your best Fuji photo. #cherryblossom25

After soaking in the views and ringing the bell at the summit of Mt. Tenjo, we followed a small path to something unexpected — and a little magical: the Fujiyama Swing. Tucked into a quiet clearing, the swing was simple in design but dramatic in effect. Suspended from a tall wooden frame with a perfect line of sight to Mt. Fuji, it lets you swing out over the hillside with nothing but sky, lake, and that majestic mountain in front of you. We took turns stepping up, holding tight, and pushing off. And just like that — we were flying. For a few thrilling seconds, the wind rushed past, and the world below seemed to fall away. Mt. Fuji sat calmly in the distance, unmoving, while we laughed, screamed, and felt that little jolt of childlike joy you only get from a swing. It’s one of those experiences that’s over in seconds but stays with you much longer. Tips: 1. The swing is located just a short walk from the ropeway summit station. 2. There’s a small fee to try it — and it’s so worth it for the photos and the thrill. 3. Staff will take photos for you with your own phone or camera — they’re pros at timing it right! 4. Try to go early if you want to avoid a queue — especially on weekends. #cherryblossom25

At the top of the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway, we wandered into a charming little mountaintop scene full of folklore, romance, and (of course) breathtaking views. First, we met the two rabbit statues — characters from the local tale of Kachi Kachi Yama, a traditional Japanese story about a clever rabbit and a not-so-lucky tanuki (raccoon dog). One rabbit stood tall, looking proud and wise; the other playful, as if caught mid-hop. It added a whimsical touch to the mountaintop and made for an adorable photo stop. A short walk away, we found the “Bell of Tenjo”, also known as the Love Bell. With Fuji stretching out in the background, visitors ring the bell for good fortune and lasting love — a sweet tradition we couldn’t resist. The sound echoed softly across the summit as couples and friends took turns making their wishes. Finally, we reached the main viewing platform — a wide wooden deck offering one of the best unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji we’d seen so far. The mountain seemed impossibly close, as if you could just reach out and touch the snowy peak. Below it, Lake Kawaguchiko sparkled under the morning sun. It was peaceful, fresh, and filled with soft laughter, camera clicks, and the feeling that we were truly somewhere special. Tips: 1. Don’t rush — the summit has multiple spots to explore, each with its own charm. 2. Ring the bell, take a wish — it’s tradition! 3. The rabbit statues are cute and symbolic — snap a photo with both. 4. Grab a coffee or snack from the summit café and take a moment to just enjoy the view. #cherryblossom25

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Kawaguchiko It is recommended to take the cable car at noon. There will be fewer people and the light will be softer. The cable car ride takes a very short time and the car is very crowded, so it is not easy to take pictures. It is recommended to go directly to the observation deck to take pictures. The view of Mount Fuji from the observation deck is really beautiful. It is recommended to go up when the weather is good. There are photogenic items such as the Rabbit Shrine and the Bell of Happiness on the mountain. There are also souvenir shops and tea houses. You can buy a cup of coffee and look at Mount Fuji. It's very leisurely. You can stay for about 30-60 minutes Tips: The queuing route is divided into ticket purchase and boarding. Please note that there is a ticket counter and a ticket machine for ticket purchase. When queuing, you have to go all the way from the outside road to the second floor boarding entrance to get on the cable car. It takes at least half an hour to start. You will have to queue again when you go down the mountain, so you must grasp the time.

Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park is a famous attraction near Kawaguchiko. The park itself does not require tickets. Visitors can take the Kawaguchiko Cable Car to get there. It costs 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children. The single trip takes about three minutes. As soon as you get on the cable car and slowly rise, the beautiful view of Mount Fuji 🗻 comes into view. It is really spectacular and beautiful. Tenjoyama Park is a very interesting attraction. It is said to be the place where the famous Japanese fairy tale Kachi Kachi Mountain took place. Therefore, there are statues of raccoon cats and rabbits everywhere, which are funny and cute. I heard that if you touch the feet of the rabbit statue in front of the torii, you can get strong legs, and if you touch the rabbit's head, you can get wisdom. This is my personal favorite. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, but you can also get blessings. Recommended to those who are visiting Mount Fuji, but remember to reserve time because there are many tourists taking the cable car. It is indeed a very popular attraction. #Japan #japan #Tokyo #Tokyo #Mount Fuji #Kawaguchiko #Tenjoyama Park #Mount Kachikachi #Cable Car #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Visit the must-see attractions around Mount Fuji in one day: Mount Fuji Fifth Station, Oshino Hakkai, Lake Kawaguchi, and Fuji Panorama Ropeway Mount Fuji Fifth Station: When you arrive at the Fifth Station, you will truly feel the enormity and majesty of Mount Fuji right before your eyes. You can also clearly feel the thinness of the air and the changes in temperature. Even in summer it is relatively cool here, even a little chilly. There are many unique souvenir shops where you can buy goods that can only be bought here, as well as some restaurants and food stalls where you can taste local specialties. Here you will deeply experience the unpredictable weather in the mountains. It may be sunny one minute and covered by clouds the next minute. Oshino Hakkai: When the sun is shining, you can see the rocks and water plants at the bottom of the water, and even the swimming fish are clearly visible, as if it is not real water, but glass. Each pool has its own unique color and depth. Looking at them will make people feel a sense of tranquility and purity. The air here is very fresh, making people feel relaxed and comfortable, and all worries are temporarily put aside. The surrounding villages are also very distinctive. The old thatched houses and traditional Japanese gardens exude a quaint and tranquil atmosphere, as if you have traveled back to the past Japan. Lake Kawaguchi: Lake Kawaguchi is like the most perfect reflection of Mount Fuji, a peaceful, romantic and disappointing place. Its greatest charm is that it provides the most beautiful angle to appreciate Mount Fuji. There are tour boats to tour the lake, and cable cars to go up to the observation deck for a wider view. In general, a day trip to Mount Fuji is a good holiday destination where you can escape from the city and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, full of peace and relaxation.
