Lake Kawaguchiko is one the the Mt Fuji 5 Lakes. It's very convenient to travel from Tokyo by train, highly suggested to get a Tokyo pass and reserve the seat. Also, it's highly recommended to rent a bike, the best way to travel around the Lake. There are many nice cafes and restaurant around the Lake area.

Need to spend some effort going up the steep 389 steps staircase in order to reach the lookout area. However, worth the effort cos the view of Mt Fuji + Pagoda is perfect! On another hand, we spend 45 and 30mins going up and down the Kachi Kachi Ropeway too a day before. So they both serve the same purpose of getting better lookout to Mt Fuji so you just need to choose one!! Conclusion, if you want better view Pagoda, but need to ride on 15mins train at Kawaguchiko Station that cost 620 yen return tickets, and need to spend another 20 to 30mins on foot to go to the shrine and go up the staircase. Convenient wise is the Ropeway as its very closed to Kawaguchiko station and served by touring bus evey 15 mins and the bus stops right outside the ropeway station.

Visited Aokigahara and spent about 4hrs hiking and going off-trail by following markers left by others. Started off at the Bat Cave entrance. You can get here by buying the 2-day Sightseeing Bus ticket, which is a huge saving for to-and-fro travel to this area. This is available at Kawaguchiko Station. Also, there's 4G connection even within the forest, but note that off the trails, it may not be available. Bring a compass and map to orientate if you're intending to really explore. First off, this forest that's birthed from the fertile lava flow ages ago feels seems very different from others I've hiked in. Tree roots are often observed snaking across the surface, and the soil looks brittle, with lichen and other flora covering the ground (soil isn't very visible other than on the trail). The trees, maybe for the autumn, appear a muted green. There's hardly a sound and creatures were rarely seen. The day I visited, I only encountered three other hikers during my hike. Don't be shy to greet hikers. Generally, locals take note of solo hikers here and given the reputation of Aokigahara, that's kinda to be expected. The various trails are easily to follow and walk along. It isn't technical except for certain rocky parts and a few climbs. And the air in certain parts of the forest can suddenly become still and stale, like there's a sudden "presence". Don't panic, but just walk on. Second. Don't go off trail and just follow the markers out of curiosity if you're not dressed appropriately and with proper footwear, or know what you're dealing it. The lichens/ moss may just be covering brittle soil. There are holes and drops in the solid lava formations beneath your feet, and it can get slippery when stepping on roots if it's covered by other flora. The markers left by users - whatever their intent - can suddenly stop. Retracing your steps can be a challenge as markers aren't always placed at a prominent position. The surroundings are pretty uniform so getting your bearings might be challenging. Coupled with the eerie peacefulness, it can be pretty unnerving and can throw off your sense of direction. Third, there are toilets scattered around. But these are spread far apart from each other. Keep yourself hydrated, but remember this. Don't pee at any random area as it's rude. Enjoy your hike, but stay safe! If you're not in the best mental state, keep calm, and I encourage you to seek help and not venture in alone.

河口湖浅間神社の横を抜けて山道を登っていくと富士山の絶景スポット前に駐車場があり、 駐車場から数百メートル下っていくとたどり着きます。 母が子を抱く姿にも見れる滝です。 大型バスが入ってこれない所にあり穴場スポットです。

Not packed with lots of tourists therefore can take you photos in your time. Has a lake and lots of flowers beds which enhances the photos.

A different yet lovely view of Mt Fuji on a clear blue sky at Lake Shoji from Lake Kawaguchiko. We enjoyed the peacefulness as we strolled along the lake. It is further away from the busy Lake Kawaguchiko and the blue line bus frequency from Kawaguchiko station is very low so there are lesser tourists here. We rented a car near Kawaguchiko station and drove here.

This is a must visit place if you want to have the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. The walkway alongside the center is planted with flowers, which bloom in Spring and summer. I went in Winter. It's smaller crowd and I could take beautiful pictures of Mt. Fuji. The official sightseeing bus runs in loops and has a stop right at the center. A souvenir shop is located inside the center where you can buy many kinds of Japanese snacks and skincare.
