We managed this sightseeing in a day-trip from Tokyo. Up before the sunrise and back at dark, it was one of our favourite day-trips in Japan.
This involved a few train transfers, from Shinjuku, Toyoda and Otsuki, transferring to the Fujikyoko line to Kawaguchiko Station.

From Kawaguchiko station there are sightseeing shuttle buses that loop around Lake Kawaguchi (Red, Blue and Green Lines). Maps and timetables are available when purchasing your tickets.

We had a busy schedule so our stops included:

• Seiko Iyashi-no-sato nenba on the Green Line.
• Music Forest museum (Red Line)
• Continue walking around the lake until returning to the station.

We caught the train to Shimoyoshida Station for our next stop #arakurayamasengenpark to see the one of Japan’s most photographic spots #chureitopagoda! After approximately 400 steps we reached a fairly long line, waiting for our 5 minutes of photo opportunity. Sadly, the sakuras were late to blossom, but the view of Mount Fuji was crystal clear!

We walked approximately 25mins to reach Honcho street, where again you can see views of #fujisan.

A further 10 minute walk and we returned to Shimoyoshida Station for our return to Tokyo.
