Fujikawaguchiko Trip Overview
Bike quiet country roads around a lakeshore with spectacular views of Mt Fuji. The lake’s waters are exceptionally clear, and the iconic mountain is often reflected on their surface, forming an enchanting “double-Fuji” image.
We’ll explore on foot at a beautifully-preserved ancient village of thatched-roof houses where local artists display traditional hand-made crafts. A wide variety of works are on display in the village’s galleries, including ceramics, paintings, wood carvings and indigo-dyed fabrics.
Leaves of maples along the bike route turn fiery colors in autumn, and the village’s cherry trees are covered with bright pink blossoms in spring. Mt Fuji rises up behind the picturesque village, making for spectacular scenery.
This tour spirits you away from the tourist bustle of urban areas to tranquil countryside with magnificent views. It’s an ideal way to get off the beaten path and experience a vibrant community that preserves elements of the culture and look of old Japan.
