Lake Kawaguchi Day Trip, Enjoy Mt. Fuji Must-Do Cable Car + Cruise Boat Itinerary!

First time visiting Lake Kawaguchi did not do much research, directly bought the excursion boat + cable car + Lake Kawaguchi bus package (2800 yen). Originally planned to go 4-5 attractions, but found that there are very many tourists in Lake Kawaguchi on weekdays, attractions have to queue for a long time, even some buses no space can not get on. Finally only went to 3 attractions and wandered around to return to Shinjuku

At about 12:00 that day we took the red line bus from Kawaguchiko Station to the cable car station, and after arriving in line for about half an hour, we were finally able to board the cable car. Luckily the weather was excellent and the view from the cable car was beautiful. Up to the top of the top of the mountain, you can clearly see Mount Fuji, and beyond the surrounding view, there is a snack shop. You have to go to the vending machine to choose the food and pay and then go to the counter to get the food. We ordered a curry bread, a cup of ice cream, and grilled dumplings. The curry bread was quite a surprise! It's hot but has a very strong curry flavour! Then you can walk the mountain trail of Mitsuru Mountain, and after a few minutes' walk there is a high platform to check in.

After the descent we boarded the 15:00 Lake Kawaguchi cruise ship Ensoleille. Ensoleille is an excursion boat operating on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
