Cycling Around Mount Fuji

Note that this photo is a posed shot. You are supposed to cycling anti-clockwise around the lake! Haha If you are deciding between taking the train to Kawaguchiko or driving, you can check out the car rental prices at   https://www.nipponrentacar.co.jp/english/user-guide/reservations.html   and train prices at   http://www.hyperdia.com/ It depends on whether you’re staying overnight at Kawaguchiko and the number of people travelling. Remember to add toll fees of about ¥4200 one way. We decided to rent a car but forgot about the toll fees so it ended up being more expensive. I’d say if you’re staying for one night and there are at least 3 of you, renting a car is a good option. If there are two of you and you want more freedom to move around (such as going to neighbouring places like Oshino Hakkai, Chureito Pagoda, Yamanakako etc) it is also better to rent a car. You should also be warned that traffic is congested upon leaving and arriving at Tokyo. We parked our car at our ryokan Kozan

Ryokan Review: Konanso (5*)

Nice view of the lake and they have a private family bath with splendid view of Mt Fuji (if the weather is good) which we booked but later cancelled because weather no good -.- the hot spring is very nice, with a resting area, massage chairs and many different yukata to choose from (ladies only).

The staff here speak only Japanese. Pick-up available after 3pm but you must call them. We just went there ourselves cos when we were on the bus to the natural living centre, we passed by.

Walking distance to ropeway and cruise station. Very family friendly (which we didn’t like cos kids are bleddy noisy -.-)

Rate: about SGD$500 a night (include dinner and breakfast)
