I’m sorry to tell you but a day trip to Mt. Fuji just isn’t enough!
Most people we’ve talked to or seen online just did a day trip to Mt. Fuji or saw it as the train passed on their way to Kyoto. Since we had no set plans after Tokyo, we decided to spend a few nights in Lake Kawaguchi (one of the 5 lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji) and it was by far one of the best decisions we’ve made on this trip so far!
Having time to relax and explore the area instead of just getting to quickly visit the tourist sites gives you a much better appreciation for the beauty of Fuji. It was also soo nice to be away from the crowds of people that are in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto.
So if you’re planning a trip to Japan, take this as your sign to stay a few days in Lake Kawaguchi. I promise you won’t regret it!
