Late Spring (May - Early June): A Perfect Time to Visit

Late Spring offers a sweet spot for visiting Mount Fuji. The weather is generally mild and pleasant, the cherry blossom crowds have thinned, and the landscape is bursting with fresh greenery. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and the potential for typhoons that arrive later in the year.

Why Kawaguchiko?

Kawaguchiko is the most popular and accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes, offering stunning views of Mount Fuji, a range of activities, and excellent transportation links to Tokyo. It's the perfect base for your Fuji adventure.

Must-See Attractions & Activities:
