You'll ride past cherry trees that are filled with delicate pink blossoms in spring and maples whose leaves turn vibrant reds and yellows in fall. Along the way, you'll pass swans that float across Fuji's reflection on the water.
After biking, you'll board a boat for a half-hour ride on the lake. The boat ride is a fun adventure for both kids and adults and is an incredibly unique way to see Mt Fuji. We offer you the choice between a hippo-themed boat that's designed to delight young kids, a boat shaped like a giant swan and a standard sightseeing boat. (Boat choice may be limited by ticket availability).
This tour takes place at a lake that is far less crowded than nearby areas better known to tourists and yet offers some of the best scenery in Mt Fuji's foothills. It's an excellent choice for parents who want to enjoy a relaxing bike ride with outstanding views while providing their kids with plenty of excitement.
