Lake Kawaguchiko

Reviewed By patrickperbkk

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.

Itchiku Kubota Art Museum

Reviewed By NewcastleKiwigirl - Newcastle, Australia

For anyone with an interest in textiles this is a must see. Take the time to watch the short film first to understand what you are looking at as the techniques used are incredibly complex. I had never seen anything like it. Every piece is a work of art. It is quite a story of a person following their passion and perfecting it. The gardens and shop are lovely as well.

Also, experience the sand art storytelling artists backed by live musicians. This park is for all ages, enjoyable in all seasons, rain or shine.

Interesting place , many automatic organ from 1890-1905 , still working fine. Staff is very kind and willing to explain. They have some scheduled events to show “concerts” of some very ancient and big “music box”. Interesting for kids above 8-10 years and for adults.

Really nice and light hike up the hill to get to the viewing point. It was cloudy so we couldn’t see Fujisan but on a clear day it would be a perfect spot.

We stopped here during a bus tour and I wish we had more time to stay because it was truly enjoyable. At the entrance, we were welcomed by the staff who were dressed at ninjas and guided us to our tables. They had more than enough space to welcome large groups so it's great for families. Food was amazing and were very understanding of food restrictions (I'm a celiac). The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. We were able to see the top of Mount Fuji very clearly and the colors of the leaves were unforgettable. They have a big, beautiful pond with koi fish of all colors too! I will definetly come back next time I'm in Japan.
