Having just made my fourth trip to the Fuji Five Lakes area, I like to think I am well placed to help you to decide what to do in Kawaguchiko and share some travel tips. Luckily, that is what I will be sharing with you in this post.
Located in Yamanashi Prefecture, it is a perfect day trip from Tokyo, just 2 hours east of Japan’s capital and easily accessible by car, bus, or train, but more on those details later.
