Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Lake Kawaguchiko: Just moments away from THE GARDEN, this is the most accessible of the Five Lakes. Rent a bicycle from the hotel and cycle along its northern shores for stunning, unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji reflected on the water’s surface. The seasonal beauty is unparalleled, from cherry blossoms in spring to fiery red maple leaves in autumn.

• Chureito Pagoda: A short train or bus ride will bring you to this postcard-perfect scene. Climb the 400 steps to the viewing platform to witness the magnificent five-story pagoda framed against the majestic backdrop of Mt. Fuji. It is arguably one of the most photographed locations in Japan and is especially breathtaking during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons.

• Oishi Park: Located on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, this free-admission park is a floral wonderland. Depending on the season, vast fields of lavender, kochia (summer cypress), or other seasonal flowers create a vibrant foreground for your Fuji photographs. The park’s walking paths and cafes make it a delightful spot for a relaxing afternoon.
