Lunch at Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko - Try the famous dish of the Kawaguchiko area - hoto noodles. Hoto noodles are like a heartier, thicker version of udon, served hot with vegetables in the stew.

You will then drop off your bikes at the Kawaguchiko Boathouse and be driven a few minutes to Oishi Park. Oishi Park is home to fields of flowers spreading like a carpet along the lakeshore.This is a lovely spot to take a rest and refresh, and take hundreds of photos of the flowers together with Mt. Fuji!
Sitting beside the lush green of the Aokigahara Forest, Lake Saiko is perhaps the most tranquil of the Fuji Five Lakes.It's filled with crystal clear blue water and is the best place in the area for swimming or boating.Here you can take some wonderful photos of Mt.Fuji, or even go for a dip if you need refreshing.
Iyashi no Sato offers you the chance to explore a traditional Japanese farming village.Near to the shores of Lake Saiko, the village was destroyed in a landslide in 1966, but was reconstructed in 2006 as an open air museum.You can see how people once lived and try your hand at some traditional crafts and old-fashioned toys.
Situated in the infamous Aokigahara forest, the "Ice Cave" stays at freezing temperatures even in the heat of summer Due to this, it was historically used for storing ice for use in the warmer months.You can enter the depths of the earth and explore this historic cave.
