Description

**Why Visit?** Located in the northeastern part of Lake Yamanaka, Hirano Beach is a gravel shoreline where you can capture **breathtaking dual shots** of Mount Fuji and its mirror-like reflection on the lake’s surface—**only possible in the morning** . The beach is also home to resident swans, offering unique opportunities for close-up interactions with nature. Higashikawa Clock Shop **Escape to the ‘Sky Ladder Town’** Step into a serene streetscape straight out of a postcard. The iconic Higashikawa Clock Shop sits at the end of a quiet road that seems to stretch endlessly toward Mount Fuji, creating an illusion of **infinite proximity to the mountain** without ever reaching it. Perfect for those seeking tranquil, cinematic views. Arakurayama Sengen Park **Instagram-Famous Fuji Views** Just a short walk from Shimoyoshida Station, this park is a pilgrimage site for photographers. Climb the stone steps to the **red five-story pagoda** for panoramic views of Mount Fuji framed by seasonal cherry blossoms (spring) or vibrant autumn foliage . Afterward, unwind with a coffee in the charming village below. Oshino Hakkai (Springs of Mount Fuji)** **Japan’s Answer to Jiuzhaigou** A UNESCO-designated natural monument, Oshino Hakkai features eight crystal-clear springs fed by melted snow from Mount Fuji. Wander through the traditional thatched-roof village, cross wooden bridges, and marvel at the **turquoise waters** perfectly reflecting the mountain’s grandeur. **Fuji’s Most Famous Convenience Store** This Lawson isn’t your average stop for snacks—it’s a **selfie hotspot**! The store’s minimalist design and Fuji-facing windows create the ultimate backdrop for effortless “lazy Japanese aesthetic” photos, popularized as phone wallpapers worldwide. **Highlight:** Quick snack + instant Instagram fame = win-win! Kawaguchiko Oishi Park **Seasonal Floral Spectacles** With sprawling flower fields that change with the seasons, Oishi Park offers **postcard-perfect Fuji views** year-round: - **April:** Tulips, daffodils, and rapeseed flowers - **May:** Carpet-like moss phlox - **June–July:** Lavender fields (co-host of the Kawaguchiko Herb Festival) - **August–October:** Begonias - **November:** Scarlet maple leaves **Highlight:** Nature’s palette + iconic mountain vistas = pure magic. *Departure from Tokyo • Small-group tours available • Flexible scheduling* **Notes:** - Morning departure recommended for Hirano Beach’s reflections. - Oishi Park’s flower seasons may vary slightly—check updates before visiting. - All stops are wheelchair-accessible except Arakurayama Sengen Park’s pagoda steps.
