Another chance to get out of the city and join us for a fun day trip to the beautiful lakes and wineries around Mt. Fuji. Only a two hour drive from Shinjuku lies the beautiful Lake Kawaguchi where we will be making our first stop of the day. Boarding the boat we will cruise the lake taking in the incredible up-close views of Mt. Fuji. It doesnt get much more photogenic than this!! After the cruise we will board the nearby Kachi Kachi ropeway and ride to the summit where there are great views of the scenic Mt. Fuji towering above Lake Kawaguchi.
Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji
After descending from Mt. Kachi Kachi we will take the bus 15min down the road the Fujiyama Beer Brewery where we can have lunch and sample the fine ales that the region produces.
Cellar Door Wine Tasting in Yamanashi
After leaving the local brewery we will head down the road to the Koshu wine region of Yamanashi. This area is home to literally hundreds or wineries and vineyards of all shapes and sizes. We will be stopping at three wineries to sample the local wines and will also be taking a 30 min winery tour. The final winery that we will visit is positioned half way up the mountain side and overlooks the valley. This winery has a huge cellar which has over 180 varieties of local wines on offer for tasting. The take home tasting cup and unlimited tasting fee are included.
Koshu Wine Region - Yamanashi
Right next door to our final winery is an amazing indoor/outdoor onsen with great views over the valley. The large lounge area in the onsen also features amazing views and we can relax here with some drinks and snacks after wine tasting / onsening before heading back to Tokyo.
Looking forward to a fun day in the Fuji lakes district!
