・In fact, 95% of participants are beginners. Popular with people with dogs! Casual clothing OK! The good thing about kayaking is that anyone can easily paddle. The kayaks we use are stable "leisure kayaks" suitable for beginners, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. "What is Lake Saiko?" ・Long ago, most of the huge lake was filled by lava flows from Mt. Fuji. Although it is located just west of the popular tourist destination Lake Kawaguchi, there are few tourists and artificial objects, and it is a very quiet and mysterious lake rich in nature. Facing the dynamically shaped "lava walls" and the "Aokigahara Jukai" that covers the southwest coast, the "Jukai Cruising" where you can enjoy kayaking while looking at the Jukai is popular. It is also known as the "Jukai Jungle Cruise". It is also a beautiful lake where the only "Kunimasu" live in Japan. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the lake with the most guided elements among the Fuji Five Lakes. What is the appeal of Lake Saiko? Unlike Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka, engine boats, power boats, and sightseeing boats are prohibited, so there are no artificial waves and it is calm. It can be enjoyed safely by beginners, those with children, and those with dogs. It is a lake right next to Lake Kawaguchi, so it is easy to access from your accommodation (15 minutes by car from Kawaguchiko Station). The water is clean and the environment is very quiet. Facing the sea of trees, you can see and touch the impressive lava belt that formed the sea of trees up close. There are many campsites around the lakeside, so you can join a tour while camping. It is the only lake in Japan where "Kunimasu" live. Depending on the course and the number of participants on the day, you can see Mt. Fuji. Cruise around Lake Saiko with a guide and enjoy the fun of kayaking, as well as the nature and sights of Lake Saiko. Seasonal characteristics: Spring The cold season is over, and the water temperature is still cold, but it is a comfortable season during the day. It is the season when it is easy to see Mt. Fuji covered in snow, so we often go on Mt. Fuji observation cruises. ・Summer Lake Saiko, located at an altitude of about 900 meters, is the best summer resort! Summer is the season for swimming in the lake! You can splash each other with water guns and jump into the water from a kayak! ・Autumn The temperature gradually drops and in early November, you can go on a cruise to see the autumn leaves. The mountains around Lake Saiko are covered with broadleaf forests, and the contrast between the green of Aokigahara Jukai and the autumn leaves of the surrounding mountains is amazing. ・Winter It is a cold season, but the charm of kayaking is that you can enjoy it if you take measures against the cold. You can also see Mt. Fuji covered in snow. [Time characteristics] ・9:30am and up This is the time when the wind starts to blow a little, but the conditions are easy to paddle, making it the most popular plan. The tour ends at 11:30am, so you can make it in time for lunch at a nearby store. ☆ Most popular! ・1pm and up This is the time when the wind is likely to blow, but it is our second most popular time, which is also convenient in terms of time. Many customers join before checking in at their accommodation. We are a small tour company, but we look forward to seeing you!
カヤックは10年以上前に沖縄で1度体験。犬とは初めてでした。 沖縄のカヤックは風も波もなく、力が要らなかったけれど、西湖は風が吹くと漕ぐのが大変ですが、そこも面白かったです。 犬は最初怖がって膝の上から離れませんでしたが、終わる頃には湖をうっとり眺めてました。 富士山の噴火の話から、樹海の成り立ちまでガイドいただき、写真と一緒に家族に報告しました。 とても楽しい思い出んになりました。

Recommended for those who do not want to eat as many strawberries as you want, and for families with small children. ▼ Plan Introduction ▼ Since it is a picking method, you can pick 250 grams of strawberries per pack from a raised bench. The plan includes the fee for picking 250 grams. ▼ About our farm ▼ ★★ Top ranking in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking ★★ (1st place in 2019, 1st place in 2022, 4th place in 2023, 2nd place in 2024: Hokuriku Koshinetsu area, Ikoyo survey) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness. The strawberry picking house is located in a plateau area at an altitude of 1,000m, so the temperature difference between day and night creates strawberries with a rich taste.

For families, how about a 3-hour fishing tour from early morning, afternoon, or evening when you are staying in the Fuji Five Lakes area? We also offer one-day sightseeing guides, skiing and snowboarding lessons, and Jukai and cave tours. This is a nature experience tour around Mt. Fuji, and is basically an experiential weekend plan for elementary school students and pre-schoolers who want to enjoy the great outdoors around Fuji. Girls can also participate as children. We look forward to your participation as a parent and child. Please arrive at Lake Motosu by 8:00 a.m. Fishing is best in the morning. In the summer, it is also possible to catch them in the evening. They also have the habit of eating stink bugs and cicadas. On the day, we will meet at Lake Motosu and start fishing for rainbow trout early in the morning at Lake Motosu. The theme is fish, animals, and insects in the great outdoors. We will give a fishing lecture in the morning and aim for native rainbow trout. While you are not catching any fish, we will plan various things to enjoy, such as rummaging around for Yoshinobori and catching insects (there are beautiful stink bugs), observing wild birds, and looking for driftwood. Please take this opportunity to enjoy rainbow trout fishing. Experience a pull that is far superior to that of trout caught at managed fishing areas. You can take home up to 10 fish you catch. Please bring ice in a cooler box. It is also convenient to bring a folding chair. The best time to fish is in winter, when you can fish in shallow waters, and in spring and autumn, you can fish a little deeper, and in summer, you can cast from the cliff and search for areas around 30 to 50 meters. So, this is a fishing that can be done all season, but the fish in North America are lively and delicious in the cold. Please purchase a fishing ticket under the supervision of the Lake Motosu Fisheries Cooperative Association. It costs 1,000 yen for adults. Also, I have been living here for 30 years.

The types of strawberries are Benihoppe, Kaorino, Yotsuboshi, Yayoihime, Koiminori, etc., and there are about three varieties depending on the growing conditions. ★Our farm's "Kaorino" is a special strawberry that won the taste evaluation of the "1st Strawberry Championship" hosted by the Japan Vegetable Sommelier Association, and "Yotsuboshi" is a special strawberry that won the taste evaluation of the "2nd Strawberry Championship". ▼Information about our farm▼★★Top ranking in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking★★ (1st place in 2019, 1st place in 2022, 4th place in 2023, 2nd place in 2024: Hokuriku Koshinetsu area, Ikoyo survey) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness. The strawberry picking house is located in a plateau area at an altitude of 1,000m, so the temperature difference between day and night creates strawberries with a rich flavor. Although the harvest volume is reduced by the time-consuming manual bud picking (thinning), we have devised a way to create strawberries with a rich flavor that you have never tasted before. Please enjoy this experience that can only be experienced in Karuizawa to your heart's content. All strawberry houses are grown in clean elevated cultivation, making picking easy. It is located in Firefly Village, which has a great view and is surrounded by the majestic Mt. Asama, about 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station. ▼Introduction of the main target varieties▼・Kaorino: In the cold climate of Karuizawa, the strawberries ripen slowly and fully, so they are enveloped in a vanilla-like scent, as if you were drinking strawberry juice. ・Yotsuboshi: Our Yotsuboshi not only has a rich flavor with an excellent triplet of sweetness, sourness, and aroma, but also grows into a very neat and beautiful fruit.・Yayoihime: At its peak, it is the sweetest of all the varieties, and the size of the berries is also enjoyable. *Shinku no Meisuzu has been excluded from the Premium Course because it was often unavailable due to growing conditions.

I had an amazing time taking this glass blowing class. I did this solo and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Shiraishi, the owner and instructor, was incredibly patient and gave clear instructions, even with the language barrier. I got to choose my own colors and design, which made the experience feel really personal. It was my first time doing anything like this, but it was super beginner-friendly and so much fun. Walking away with a handmade souvenir that I created myself felt really special. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience!
