Mount Fuji is more than a photo opportunity. Visitors can enjoy traditional villages, local cuisine, lakeside walks, and outdoor adventures throughout the region. The area offers something for every type of traveller, whether you prefer nature, culture, or photography. Many first-time visitors are surprised by how much there is to see beyond the mountain itself. NaturaBase private tours are a great introduction to the natural beauty of Lake Kawaguchiko.
One of the most popular cultural attractions in the area is Iyashi no Sato, a traditional village located on the shores of Lake Saiko. The village features reconstructed thatched-roof houses that now serve as museums, craft workshops, galleries, and local shops. Visitors can learn about rural life in the Mount Fuji region, try traditional activities, and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Iyashi no Sato offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s past and provides a perfect complement to the natural experiences found throughout the Fuji Five Lakes region.
