(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Lake Kawaguchiko
We start and end our tours just by Kawaguchiko Station, so joining us is super easy and stress-free! Pick-up is at Bus Stop #10, right in front of the Tourist Information Center. From there, we’ll take you on a short, scenic ride to our base camp, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Once we arrive, we’ll take a little time to get everything ready together — we’ll go over some simple driving instructions, check your International Driving Permits (IDP) and passports, and answer any questions you might have. You’ll also have the chance to put on fun accessories before the tour starts — a great way to get into the spirit of the adventure and capture some unforgettable photos! We’re here to make sure you feel comfortable, excited, and ready to enjoy a truly unique experience around beautiful Lake Kawaguchiko.
Lake Kawaguchiko
After going through the basic driving instructions, we hit the road in a mini EV and cruise around Lake Kawaguchi for approximately 2 hours, all while enjoying epic views of Mount Fuji, guided by a local expert. We will take you to the best scenic spots of the day where you will have plenty of time for photo opportunities. You will be driving a full-size, 100% Japanese Tomica mini car — super kawaii and totally unique!
We’ll visit Yagisaki Park, which offers a beautiful view of the tiny floating temple — only accessible during the dry season when the lake is at its lowest. From here, you can also enjoy stunning views of Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchiko, and seasonal lavender fields (best seen in August). This park is also home to the charming Kawaguchiko Muse Museum.
