Stayed here during our stay in Kawaguchi. Next to the spectacular view of Mt Fuji, the hotel's gardens is a gorgeous sight with its autumn colors. Great place for walks although we wished they have a path that leads to the lake behind the gardens.

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.

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.
4. Sankodai
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
The Sanko-dai observation deck, which means "3 Lake View Spot", offers panoramic views of Lake Saiko, Lake Shojiko, and Lake Motosuko. Visitors can also enjoy views of Mt. Fuji to the south, the Southern Alps to the west, and the densely packed trees of the Aokigahara Forest down below. There is a spacious rest area, and since it is located along the Tokai Nature Trail, visitors can enjoy hiking around the local area. Access: From Kawaguchiko Station take a Blue Line sightseeing bus and get off at Koyodai-Iriguchi bus stop. From there it is about a 45-minute walk.

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.
