This is a guided kayak tour in the spectacular scenery of Lake Motosu, which boasts the highest transparency in Honshu. In addition to the guide's tour of the sights and nature commentary, in the summer you can play with water guns and jump out of the kayak! You will ride in a stable kayak, so even beginners can feel at ease! You can also enjoy it with small children and dogs. Even customers who are worried about whether they can paddle at first will be able to paddle smoothly in the second half. The water surface feels very close, so it is also suitable for taking photos. Let's make memories of your trip at the beautiful Lake Motosu! [The charm of Lake Motosu] 13 kilometers in circumference, a depth of 130 meters, and the highest transparency in Honshu! It is a very beautiful lake! If you want to see more than this, you will have to go to a lake in Hokkaido! ・The blue lake, "Motosu Blue" The color of the water changes as the depth changes, so pay attention to that too! ・Straight to the point! A view of Mt. Fuji! It is difficult in summer when it is hidden by clouds, but you can enjoy the "breathtaking view" in other seasons! If you want to see Mt. Fuji, we recommend October to May! - There are no motorboats, so there are no artificial waves and it is easy to row. [Characteristics by time of day] ☆From 6:00 ☆ Early mornings are often calm, making it very easy to row. When the conditions are good, you can see Mt. Fuji upside down! Highly recommended by guides! ☆From 9:30 ☆ This is a popular time. Although it is not as strong as early mornings, the wind is calm and it is easy to row. ☆From 13:00 ☆ The wind tends to blow in the afternoon. It is a popular time, but it is recommended for experienced people. For beginners and those with children, early morning and morning are recommended. [Characteristics by season] ☆Spring March to May ☆ It is a season when it gradually gets warmer, and it is easy to see the snow-covered Mt. Fuji, and you can enjoy the magnificent view. ☆Summer June to September ☆ This is the season when Mt. Fuji is easily hidden by clouds. The cold water temperature gradually warms up, and you can enjoy swimming in the lake from July. It is also fun to jump into the beautiful lake! ☆Autumn October to November ☆ The season when the bustling lakeside becomes quiet. The trees of Lake Motosu, surrounded by broadleaf trees, begin to turn red. The leaves turn red in early November. Also, during this season, Mt. Fuji, which is covered in clouds in summer, begins to become visible. Snow falls around October. ☆Winter from December to February☆ During the severe winter, the temperature drops below zero. It is a cold season, but you can see the beautiful Mt. Fuji. *Our company is a Lake Motosu tour operator certified by Fujikawaguchiko Town. *Photos taken by the guide during the tour will be given to you for free as digital files at a later date! *Tandem boats are the standard, but single kayaks are also available upon request. If you would like a single kayak, please specify "single preference."
Lake Motosu boasts the clearest water in Honshu! Experience the clear blue water, Motosu Blue, and enjoy a luxurious cruise while taking in the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji, which is also a recommendation.
Early morning plan recommended by the guide! Recommended for those who want to avoid busy hours, those who want to enjoy quietly, and those who want to enjoy the view of Lake Motosu more! Moreover, it is easy to row because there are many times when the condition is good!
During the tour, the guide will talk about not only the fun of kayaking, but also the charms of Lake Motosu. Our guides are not only instructors, but also mountain climbing guides and Jukai guides, so you should also be sure to check out the explanation of the natural relationship between Mt. Fuji and Lake Motosu.
