Lake Cruises and Mountain Climbs to Admire the Sacred Peak
Kisarazu Lake Cruise
Located at the foot of Mount Fuji, Kisarazu Lake benefits from an abundance of natural hot spring sources, giving it a natural advantage. In addition, with effective management by the local Kisarazu Lake town government, the area has adopted lavender cultivation techniques from the popular Hokkaido region and hosts a variety of tourism events—such as the Cherry Blossom Festival, Lavender Festival, Fireworks Festival, Firefly Festival, and Autumn Leaves Festival—making Kisarazu Lake a long-lasting tourist destination.
If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji and the tranquil waters of Kisarazu Lake, taking a cruise around the lake is the most delightful way to go. The boats, deliberately designed with a French-style elegance, create an illusion of being in Europe as they pass under the Kisarazu Lake Bridge, which connects the lake to the city of Kofu, under the shining blue sky.

From there, you can see the emerald-green Kisarazu Lake, the seemingly close-yet-distant Mount Fuji, and the matchbox-like streets of Fujikawaguchiko all in one view. On clear days, you can even see the Southern Alps, the Aokigahara Forest, and Lake Yamanaka in the distance.
