Tour highlights

This is a barrier-free tour that allows you to enjoy Japan's most scenic spots, Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi, in a dynamic way with minimal physical strain.

  • Enjoy an elegant cruise on a barrier-free boat: Lake Kawaguchi sightseeing boats (such as the Appare) are barrier-free, equipped with ramps and elevators. Wheelchairs can be moved to the deck and enjoy an unobstructed view of the impressive Mount Fuji to your heart's content.

  • Natural beauty in every season: In spring, cherry blossoms paint the lakeside pink, and in autumn, autumn leaves adorn Mount Fuji. You can enjoy the beauty of Japan, which changes with the seasons, from the well-maintained lakeside promenade.

  • Spectacular Lakeside Lunch: For lunch, head to a restaurant with a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji and the lake. Enjoy dishes made with local ingredients at a comfortable table.

Tourist spot: Lake Kawaguchi sightseeing boat

Lake Kawaguchi has the longest shoreline of the Fuji Five Lakes. A pleasure boat glides gracefully across the lake, offering a good chance of encountering the "upside-down Fuji" that cannot be seen from land. The main pleasure boat in operation is the purely Japanese-style "Appare," which is barrier-free and easy to use for wheelchairs and strollers, and offers a panoramic view of the majestic base of Mount Fuji from its spacious observation deck.

Tourist spot: Oishi Park

The northern shore area of ​​Lake Kawaguchi is a great location for capturing photos of Mt. Fuji, the lake, and the flower fields all in one shot. In particular, Oishi Park has flat, paved promenades, making it easy for wheelchair users to stroll along the Flower Road. The lavender from June to July and the kochia leaves in autumn are spectacular, making it perfect for taking commemorative photos with Mt. Fuji in the background.
