Every year around this time, I've been doing a lot of research on the internet and magazines, and I've become quite familiar with fishing for smelt in Lake Yamanaka. It's definitely the best thing to do, having fun fishing with everyone with a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji in the background, and then eating the freshly caught fish as tempura. What's more, compared to sea fishing or river fishing, the catch is overwhelmingly smaller, so I think it's great that you can even compete with a 4-year-old child. I feel like I'll lose if I let my guard down lol
Lake Yamanaka is a place that can be enjoyed throughout the year, but it can get quite cold in the winter, so the sightseeing options differ between summer and winter. In the summer, you can enjoy trekking on one of the many courses, such as enjoying supboarding or canoeing on the lake, taking a guided tour of the Aokigahara Forest, or trekking to power spots. However, in winter, it becomes difficult to enter the mountains unless you are a very advanced person, so such activities are no longer possible. Instead, from July to August, you can fish for smelt, which is prohibited, and there are bright events that can only be seen during this season, such as illuminations that decorate the night and the Ice Candle Festival. You can even see Diamond Fuji during the midwinter season! I think indoor craft experiences such as dyeing, pottery, and glasswork are popular among people of all ages and genders.
Mt. Fuji is loved not only in Japan but also overseas. At the foot of Mt. Fuji, there are five lakes on the Yamanashi Prefecture side, collectively known as the "Fuji Five Lakes." The lakes included in the Fuji Five Lakes are Lake Motosu, Lake Shoji, Lake Saiko, Lake Kawaguchi in Fujikawaguchiko Town, and Lake Yamanaka in Yamanakako Village. All of the lakes are naturally dammed lakes created by the eruption of Mt. Fuji, and each has been designated as a national scenic spot. Additionally, in 2013, all of the sites were registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site as part of "Mt. Fuji - Object of Faith and Source of Art."
Other fish that are in season in autumn include sardines, bonito, autumn salmon, and mackerel, but this time I would like to introduce you to the activity of ``smelt fishing'', which is at its peak from autumn to early spring. Fishing for smelt has long been a popular winter tradition on the lake. Wakasagi fishing is perfect for family fishing as even children and beginners can easily start fishing. This time, we will introduce three carefully selected plans from among the smelt fishing experiences you can enjoy at Lake Yamanaka in Yamanashi Prefecture!
Smelt fishing is a well-known outdoor activity that is representative of Lake Yamanaka and takes place every year from early fall to late spring. It is extremely popular every season for family sightseeing, couples' dates, and leisure activities for groups such as companies and schools, and is a staple event in the fall and winter, always ranking high in the popularity rankings published by Activity Japan. As usual in 2019, the long-awaited season will begin in late September, and we will begin accepting reservations for each shop's trial tour plan. Therefore, on this page, we will introduce the characteristics and charm of Lake Yamanaka Smelt fishing in an easy-to-understand manner, and we will also provide useful information for reservations, such as a ranking of the popularity of experience plans based on the number of reservations last season, and a list of shops holding tours. To do!
About 90 minutes from Tokyo, Lake Yamanaka is a tourist destination that represents Yamanashi Prefecture. Lake Yamanaka, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, has the largest surface area of the Fuji Five Lakes and is the third highest lake in Japan at an altitude of 980.5 m. Yamanakako Village is one of Japan's leading tourist resorts, with beautiful Mt. Fuji and seasonal scenery as one of its highlights. There is an annual average difference of more than 7 degrees compared to Tokyo, so you can stay cool and comfortable in midsummer. There are parks, walking trails, spots where you can enjoy various activities such as camping and cycling, popular hot spring facilities, power spots, and other popular sightseeing spots! Introducing the top 10 recommended gourmet and leisure spots for sightseeing in Lake Yamanaka!
Let me explain a little bit about ``jet packs'', which may be unfamiliar to people who are not familiar with marine sports. Originally a personal vehicle for traveling through the air in the galaxy, it was a device with high performance in the air. Also known as the Jet Rev Flyer, it can fly around on the surface of the water by attaching a backpack to its back that sprays water from nozzles on both sides. It is a dynamic sport that is still rare not only in Japan but also in the world.
For example, there are many people who have barbecues with their friends, couples, etc. in mountains, highlands, the ocean, lakes, riverbeds, etc. In fact, at Lake Yamanaka at the foot of Mt. Fuji, there is a course exclusively for students where you can enjoy barbecue and water activities at the same time with your friends. This time, we would like to introduce you to this ``Great Value Banana Boat & BBQ Party Plan.'' It's reasonably priced, so it's a must-see for students!
