Fujikawaguchiko delivers those

Fujikawaguchiko delivers those dreamy Mount Fuji views—but here’s the truth: not everyone catches Fujisan clearly, especially when the clouds roll in! Your best bet? Aim for winter, when crisp blue skies turn the mountain into a perfect Instagram backdrop. ❄️🗻

Top Spots to Visit

Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba (Traditional Japanese Village)
Step back in time at this charming open-air museum (〒401-0332 Yamanashi, Minamitsuru District, Fujikawaguchiko, Saiko, 根場 2710; open 9:00-17:00). The thatched-roof houses are packed with cultural experiences—think craft workshops, tea houses, and epic photo ops. Extra tip: It’s quieter on weekdays!

Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko
If you’re chasing Fuji views, this hotel (6713-22 Funatsu, Fujikawaguchikomachi) is a winner! Some rooms have straight-up lake and Fuji panoramas. Sink into the indoor and outdoor hot springs post-exploring—major bonus after a long trek. Daily Japanese breakfast is a cozy touch, and the free shuttle to Kawaguchiko Station keeps things easy. Proximity to convenience stores, the Gem Museum, and local dining makes it a great base.

Oishi Park
Catch those famous flower fields with Fuji in the background (２５２５番地の１１先 Oishi, open all day). Come for hydrangeas or lavender season, but honestly, the lakeside stroll with Fuji always hits.

Essentials
Getting around: Use the hotel’s shuttle to Kawaguchiko Station. Local buses reach all major sights—grab a day pass for savings.
Food tip: Don’t skip hōtō noodles—heartwarming and iconic. Local konbini stores are handy for snacks.
Weather warning: Fujisan is shy. Winter means clearer skies = better chances for epic views!
