Epic Day Trip Around Mount Fuji 🚗🌄 If you’re looking for Insta-worthy spots, serene lakeside vibes, and unreal Fuji views, this Yamanashi circuit absolutely delivers!
Must-See Places:
1. Oshino Hakkai (Shibokusa, Oshino, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi 401-0511): Crystal-clear spring ponds, cute traditional houses, and Fuji perfectly reflected in the water. Open all day, just stroll through and soak up rural vibes.
2. THE PARK 山中湖店 (3752 Hirano, Yamanakako, Minamitsuru District): Refuel with local eats and coffee—this lakeside restaurant is a chill spot for lunch. Grab a window seat for views of Yamanakako Lake!
3. Arakurayama Sengen Park (2-chome-4-1 Asama, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0011): Don’t miss the classic pagoda + Fuji combo! Open all day, but late afternoon has magical golden hour light (and fewer tour buses).
Travel Hacks
- Rent a car for the day—much easier and faster than juggling buses. Parking is free or cheap at most spots.
- Weather changes fast here! Download a Fuji webcam app to check mountain visibility before you head out.
- Cash is handy for roadside snacks and tiny village shops.
Food Rec: Try the souffle pancakes at THE PARK 山中湖店, then hit a convenience store for Fuji-shaped sweets.
