5.00We were lucky to have Masako as a guide for this tour. Very knowledgeable about the area, and also flexible to adapt the itinerary according to what we prefer, so we got to see all the secret spots without any crowds! Sakura was in full bloom, and it was super relaxing walking around and taking photos without all the TikTokers around đ We travelled from Tokyo to Kawaguchi Station on the expressway bus from Shinjuku- easy & cheap. Masako was at the station waiting for us, so we had zero hassle. We opted for the caves, 2 gorgeous Shinto shrines (one of which with a magnificent 1,000+ years old cedar tree) and a 1 hr trek to the Sanko-Dai panoramic platform. The climb is quite steep so make sure youâve got good walking shoes & youâre in decent shape. This was probably my favorite part of the tour as we got uninterrupted views of Mt Fuji and there was no-one else at all. We finished with a stop at Lake Shoji, with a cute view of Fuji holding the âbabyâ mountain (this can only be seen from this lake). All in all this tour was perfect - a guide that knows the best spots, crowd-free & flexible (plenty of conbini & bathroom breaks available). Thank you Masako! PS - Kawaguchiko is the site of the famous Lawson/Fuji shot, if youâre that way inclined. And as you may guess, the locals just donât get the fuss, especially with so many better Fuji views so close by!
