Indulge in a traditional Japanese Bento lunch, widely available at local eateries. What's next? How about sailing away into the evening on Lake Kawaguchi, one of the five iconic lakes around Mount Fuji. Wrap up your day with a relaxing Onsen experience back in the city, the perfect metaphor for 'washing off' an eventful day!

Finally, pay a visit to the Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum for an unforgettable musical experience, featuring various self-playing instruments in a European styled garden! When you're ready to say goodbye, make your way back to the train station, taking with you lasting memories and captivating stories!
