A Day Trip to Mt. Fuji: Lake Kawaguchiko
There are many places to enjoy stunning views of Mt. Fuji, but few are as picturesque an area as Lake Kawaguchiko. I went to the Lake Kawaguchi for the day and enjoyed not just Mt. Fuji but the beautiful town of Kawaguchi. I wanted to explore Mt. Fuji on my own.

GETTING TO MT. FUJI
From Tokyo to Mount Fuji by train, I used the Tokyo subway map to make my way to Shinjuku. I took the JR Chuo Line from Shinjuku to Otsuki Station. The journey takes 70 minutes and it costs 2500 yen by direct limited express train or it is entirely free if you have the Japan Rail Pass.
From Otsuki Station you need to take the Fujikyu Railway Line to Kawaguchiko Station. The journey takes 55 minutes and it costs 1140 yen one way. Please note that this journey is not covered by your Japan Rail Pass.
Are you ready to take a day trip from Tokyo to Mount Fuji or will you want to stay the night in Lake Kawaguchiko? ☺️
