One of our easiest, flattest courses, this tour transports you from the bustling neighborhood around Kawaguchiko Station out to quiet, scenic country roads relatively few tourists ever see. Part of the route follows dedicated cycling and walking paths far from car traffic.
If you take this tour in spring, you'll view Mt Fuji framed by exquisite cherry blossoms. In summer, the lake is encircled by wildflowers and emerald grasses. In autumn, you'll ride under arches formed by maple and ginko branches covered with bright red and yellow leaves. And in winter, you'll gaze past towering evergreens at Fuji and its magnificent white crown of snow.
