2025 Minamitsuru District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

Another place to see the changing leaves during the autumn in Japan, besides Tokyo, I would like to recommend the area around Lake Kawaguchiko where you can see Mt. Fuji. That is Momiji Kairo, or known as the “Maple Leaf Tunnel”. It is a very popular and beautiful spot that you should not miss. Momiji Kairo, whose English name is “Maple Corridor”, is a long walkway along an old river with maple trees on both sides. When autumn comes, the maple leaves turn red, orange, and yellow all over. Mixed with the cool air, this is a place that you should not miss. If you walk back a little bit, you will find many places selling food and souvenirs. You can choose to buy and eat a lot How to get there: From Kawaguchiko Station, you can take the Kawaguchiko Sightseeing Bus (16 stops) and get off at Kubota Itchiku Art Museum, then walk about 240 meters. Opening hours: Every day 24 hours Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WbXzQn6TvxyU3Vn89?g_st=ic #AutumnTravel #100WaysToTravel #TravelJapan #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

I heard there was a beautiful spot to see maples, so I visited the Momiji Corridor at Lake Kawaguchi! There were still some green areas, but the beauty of the tunnel made of maples was overwhelming😌 Mt. Fuji is also nearby, so why not burn the collaboration of maples and Mt. Fuji into your eyes! There may be stalls during the event!

#tokyo Window shopping was the perfect thing to do when the weather was rainy and gloomy all day long in Kawaguchiko. Head on to Fujisan Station Shopping Centre which is one stop away from Kawaguchiko Station. Store your luggage, if any inside the locker storage at the train station. Go window shopping for cute limited version of Mount Fuji souvenirs like paper weights, kit kat chocolates, peter rabbit tea products and so on. And then indulge yourself in three layer soft cone ice cream (mount fuji version of blue and vanilla swirl) and do try the hot taiyaki pancake (japanese snack) with chocolate or red bean fillings. They are delicious ! #awesomepic #tripblazers #mytripvlog

#AprilTravelSupportFujiQHighlandtripIt was so much fun that I can't even describe it as such. I will definitely go again before my age changes. People who like thrilling things should definitely visit when they are at least one year younger. It makes me cry when I can't ride the rides I want to because I don't have enough stamina.

#AprilTravelSupport We took a bus from Tokyo Station to Fuji-Q Highland, so we walked from the Fuji-Q Highland bus stop to the entrance! When you get off the bus, you can see the entrance in the first photo. Since that is not the main entrance to the amusement park, you still have to walk further after entering. The Gaspard & Lisa character village is quite large, so if you continue to walk straight while looking around the village, you will enter a place like the Fuji-Q Highland goods shop? It's hard to get a feel for it from the text, but just follow the people!! The second entrance is the main entrance to the amusement park. You must register your face and go through the baggage check~! As shown in the last photo, there is a photo spot next to the 7-Eleven in front of the entrance, so take a picture~

#AprilTravelSupport If you are someone who likes thrilling attractions, If you are a dopamine addict who can ride TiX/Draken/Atlantis in Korea more than 3 times in a row, you should definitely go Fujiyama looks like it has a gentle slope and doesn't look like much, but it's not. It's a super-giant roller coaster that runs for 3 minutes and 30 seconds and goes up to 80m They say you can see Mt. Fuji on a nice day, but when I went, I couldn't see Mt. Fuji... Personally, I went to TiX x4. I highly, highly, highly recommend it.

Kawaguchiko lake is a popular destination for those who want to see Mt. Fuji clearly with the beautiful autumn leaves. We went at the end of November. The leaves were changing color beautifully. The weather was cool. Mt. Fuji already had snow. The atmosphere was very nice. We traveled from Tokyo by bus, booked through the highway bus website for both the outbound and return trips. It was very convenient. Before booking, I recommend checking the weather in advance to see what the chances are of seeing Mt. Fuji and whether it will rain. So that the trip is not wasted. When we arrived at Kawaguchiko station, we rented bicycles to ride around the lake. It was very convenient. We didn't get tired riding because the view was very beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves for a short while and had already completed the round. We stopped to take pictures along the way. We were very impressed. 💖🍁

#0 yen travel Time for some quick and tasty snacks at the Kawaguchiko travel station. The specialty "Ushioku minced cutlet" is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! With a strong flavor, just one is enough to leave you feeling satisfied. The "fried chicken wings" are also spicy and delicious even when cooled! The souvenir corner is also well-stocked, making it a great place to stop by! ⸻ Kawaguchiko “Tabi no Eki” Snack Stop! Local-style Minced Meat Cutlets & Fried Chicken At Kawaguchiko’s roadside station, grab a bite of Gyuuoku’s Menchi Katsu—crispy outside, juicy inside!

#Spring0yenTrip Nigoriike Pond is one of the eight spring-fed ponds that make up the Oshino Hakkai, located in Oshino Village, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture. Unlike the other ponds, it is not a vivid blue, but rather has a slightly cloudy hue, as its name suggests. Attractions: * A pond colored by legend: The following legend remains about the origin of the name Nigoriike Pond. Once, a shabby ascetic passed by and asked the local landowner for a glass of water, but was refused. The water in the pond, which had been clear up until then, immediately became cloudy. This legend is the origin of the pond's name. * A different atmosphere from other ponds: While the other ponds in the Oshino Hakkai are a highly transparent blue, Nigoriike Pond has a calm color and a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. * Quiet appearance: Although it is located right next to Wakuike Pond, it is relatively quiet compared to the other ponds, so you can relax and enjoy the view. * Small amount of spring water: A very small amount of spring water has been confirmed from the bottom of the pond. * Surrounding nature: The area around the pond is rich in nature, making it a good place for a quiet stroll.

Don't overlook the classic angle, Kawaguchiko station photo spot The first place to go to see Fuji that everyone must arrive at is Kawaguchiko Station. After that, many people will be busy looking for a bus stop to connect to their destination or busy looking for a train to other cities to see Fuji at their destination. But try searching for a view of Fuji. One of the places that tourists around the world like to take pictures of Fuji is Kawaguchiko Station. The angle that everyone must visit when they first arrive at Fuji. Try to leave a little time to walk around. There are beautiful angles!! Take pictures and accidentally walk around the station and you will get classic photos. In the station, there are also souvenir shops, both snacks and souvenirs. If you are hungry while changing trains, there is food to sit and eat while waiting. Around the station, there are beautiful souvenir shops to buy souvenirs. However... check the weather forecast before coming. If the sky is clear, I can tell you that no matter how you take a picture, it will be beautiful. The view of Fuji is perfect if you take a picture with it in the frame. But... if the sky is overcast, the atmosphere changes completely. But don't be discouraged. Kawaguchiko is still a lovely city! #kawaguchiko #kawaguchikostation #withmyshutter #traveljapan #mountfuji #japan #photo #travel #newyearnewtrip
