Exploring MOUNT FUJI Region, Japan 🇯🇵 Kawaguchiko 🗻 World Travel Family Adventure & Relaxation Vlog

Join us on an unforgettable journey as our family of five explores the breathtaking Mt. Fuji region in Japan 🇯🇵
In this vlog, we share our experiences as we embark on a few days of rest, relaxation and exploration in one of Japan’s most iconic destinations.🏔️

🌄 Our trip began with the goal of allowing Alpay to recuperate from a cold, surrounded by the crisp, rejuvenating air of the region. As we took in the stunning scenery, we found ourselves immersed in the tranquil beauty of our surroundings.

🏃‍♀️ For a dose of adventure, I embarked on a memorable 21km run around the picturesque Lake Kawaguchiko, soaking in the serene ambiance and majestic views. Cycling enthusiasts among us rented bikes and embarked on a leisurely tour, pedaling through charming pathways and discovering hidden gems along the way.

⛩️ No visit to the Mt. Fuji region would be complete without a visit to the iconic Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine, home to Japan’s most photographed spot—the stunning pagoda set against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji. As we marveled at this breathtaking sight, we couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of awe and admiration.

📍 Our exploration continued as we ventured to the Fujisan World Heritage Center where we delved into the rich history and cultural significance of Mt. Fuji. From interactive exhibits to informative displays, we gained a deeper appreciation for this revered natural wonder.

Join us as we share the joys of family bonding, adventure and relaxation amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of the Mt. Fuji region.

Significance for example in Japanese Art [Applause] Oh did I already mention there is some bike rental shops near Lake kavagi so renting a bike for a few hours a day or several is very easy and not expensive at all W [Applause] [Applause] Oh Did you enjoy our short video of Mount Fuji let us know in the comments below also if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask them we love helping you plan your trip to Japan or anywhere else in this beautiful world
