5Kayaking near Mt Fuji
An absolutely unforgettable experience! Our guide was fabulous—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. The weather was nothing short of incredible, transforming from thick fog to crystal-clear skies, revealing the breathtaking beauty of Mt. Fuji in all its glory. Kayaking on the lake with such a spectacular view was truly magical. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!
5Great kayak trip on Lake Kawaguchiko
We had a lovely time kayaking on Lake Kawaguchiko. The lake and mountains were magnificent with wispy clouds breaking along the ridge lines-it was very pretty, though Mount Fuji was a little shy on the day. Our guide, CJ, entertained us with interesting insights about the area and answered our many questions with ease. The water was quite high due to rain, so we were able to paddle around Rokkakudo, the small hexagonal hall on the shore, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommended, and we'd love to go again.
5Great guide, wonderful experience
Great experience rather than just passively going on a boat on the lake. Grahame is friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had wonderful view of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended . Family friendly too.
5Kayaking with the best views of Mount Fuji
Kayaking with coffee and the best views of Mount Fuji was a great experience, well worth an early morning start! Grahame was an excellent guide and gave us a good introduction to the area, plus recommendations on other cool sports to explore. Highly recommend this activity!
5Great morning trip!!
We had a great time out on the lake with our guide! Fuji refused to make an appearance from behind the clouds but it was still a fantastic experience and totally worth it!! Definitely would recommend.
5Great experience
