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

Nanbantei (Far East Plaza Level 5)


One of the most value for money set lunches in the heart of town is from this Japanese Yakitori restaurant. For a mere $13, you get a bento box consisting of 5 sticks (chicken ball, pork asparagus, pork shiso roll, quail eggs, chicken with leek), rice, pork soboro, mushrooms, seaweed, side salad, miso soup and dessert.

ok, the miso soup is a little substandard but the yakitori is nice =)

since i love tebasaki, we added an ala carte order as well as more vegetables with miso dipping sauce =)


Bill: about $43

If you just order the bento and ask for free tea, it will cost only $26++ for two which is very very reasonable. Dinner is more expensive.
