Scenic spots during the ride:
① Yamanakako Shiratorihama-You can take photos of swans and Mount Fuji in the same frame
The Yamanakako Lake, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, has a lakeside area called "Shiratori-hama" because of the large number of swans that inhabit it. It is not only a good place to observe wild birds, but also a great place to take photos of swans with Mount Fuji in the background. The swans here are very friendly because they are often fed by tourists.
②THE PARK, a popular coffee shop in Lake Yamanaka
There are fluffy and moist Japanese pancakes, rice burgers, and a cafe with a perfect view of Mount Fuji.
③Nagaike Water Park
If you want to experience Mt. Fuji up close, come to Nagaike Water Park. This is the park closest to Mt. Fuji. Not only can you truly experience the majestic Mt. Fuji, but you can also overlook Mt. Fuji across Lake Yamanaka. It is truly a magnificent landscape!
▼If you are unlucky and the weather is not suitable for cycling due to heavy rain, the itinerary will be changed to a white swan-shaped sightseeing boat to tour around Lake Yamanaka (about 90 minutes, the sightseeing boat fee is included)
The 25-minute round trip allows you to leisurely enjoy the pleasant scenery of Lake Yamanaka and the beautiful view of Mount Fuji. The entire hull is shaped like a beautiful swan, just like the concept of "Japan's most beautiful swan floating on Lake Yamanaka at the foot of Japan's No. 1 Mount Fuji". The design of the representative Japanese designer Mitooka Eiji, who has won many awards, is a beautiful and lovely white bird that moves leisurely on the lake. The interior of the boat is made of oak wood and its wood grain texture is used. The soft design with curves gives off a sense of warmth and is a comfortable space for relaxation. In order to let children enjoy the boat ride happily, the Shiratoriko is equipped with seats for children, telescopes that can feel the experience of being a captain, and observation seats with steering wheels. One of its features is that the boat is full of elaborate designs everywhere. While enjoying the beautiful nature on the Yamanakako cruise ship, you can also have the precious experience of contacting wild swans (feed can be purchased at the boarding station for 100 yen/bag). Feed can be fed to fish by the lake at the boarding point or wild ducklings or swans.
