Spring one-day plan for Lake Kawaguchi: Lunch at Mermaid → Yabusame Festival → Local food at "Furuya"!
#0yentrip
My day at Lake Kawaguchi on 4/29 was amazing, so I want to share it!
First, we had lunch at Auberge Mermaid.
In an open location with a view of Mt. Fuji,
I chose the seafood doria.
It was hot and creamy,
and the view was a feast!
The pizza was also very filling!
In the afternoon, we made the perfect time to go to the Kai Katsuyama Yabusame Festival.
We parked the car at the Fureai Center and took an easy shuttle bus.
We couldn't help but applaud the traditional technique of shooting at the target while the horses were running!
There were also stalls, so we could feel the local excitement.
For dinner, we went to Utagean Furuya in Funatsu, Lake Kawaguchi.
It's a izakaya with a relaxed atmosphere,
and the food has a homemade feel to it!
They also have a wide variety of alcohol,
so you'll want to relax and chat at night.
It was a spring at Lake Kawaguchi that was 100% satisfying, with nature, culture, and food all packed into it! ⸻

A spring treat. Spending time surrounded by cherry blossoms at the Kofu Castle ruins
#Spring0yenTrip
Kofu Castle ruins are located right after leaving Kofu Station.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the time, and the combination of the stone walls and the cherry blossoms was just stunning...!
When I heard it was the ruins of a castle, I imagined it to be a bit dull, but this place is not like that at all. It's spacious and just walking around is pleasant.
From the castle tower, you can see the Kofu cityscape, and you can even catch a glimpse of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. A truly spectacular spring view!
There weren't too many tourists, and the relaxed atmosphere of locals relaxing on benches was also very pleasant.
If you come to Kofu during cherry blossom season, this is a spot you should definitely stop by!
---
Basic information about the location
Name: Kofu Castle Ruins (Maizuru Castle Park)
Address: 1-5-4 Marunouchi, Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture
Access: About 5 minutes on foot from the south exit of JR Kofu Station
Admission fee: Free
Recommended time: Spring (cherry blossoms are usually in full bloom from late March to early April)
---
Just a short walk from Kofu Station, I found myself at the Kofu Castle Ruins—and wow, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom!
The contrast between the stone walls and soft pink petals was absolutely breathtaking.
I climbed up to the former castle tower and got an amazing view of the city below, with snow-capped mountains in the distance.
It wasn't crowded, and the peaceful vibe made it a perfect spot to take a break and soak in springtime in Japan.
If you're visiting Kofu during cherry blossom season, don't miss this hidden gem!

[Yamanashi🇯🇵] A famous shrine with a view of Mt. Fuji
I will introduce you to some of the most breathtaking views in Japan that every Japanese person has seen on social media or somewhere.
Whenever you search for photos of Mt. Fuji, the most common one that always comes up is the view of the five-story pagoda at Arakurayama Sengen Shrine.
I went there in February!
At this shrine, you can see the scenery of the four seasons, the five-story pagoda, and Mt. Fuji.
No matter how many times you visit, you can enjoy different views depending on the season, which is why it is so popular and highly recommended!
・Sakura and Mt. Fuji in spring
・Lush green scenery in summer
・Autumn leaves and Mt. Fuji in autumn
・Snow-covered Mt. Fuji in winter
Recently, there have been a lot of foreign tourists, and I think there are more foreigners than Japanese people.
The fact that it is so popular means that it is a view that everyone wants to see at least once, right?
As for how to get there, I recommend driving.
There are several parking lots nearby, so I recommend going early in the morning when it is quiet.
Alternatively, there seem to be bus tours available from Tokyo, so you might as well join one of those!
Please go there at least once~

Still, the view from the upper area was amazing!

Time travel at the Bell of Time | Ring the Bell at Koshu Yume Kouji
#0yenspringtrip
When you walk through Yumekoji in Kofu,
you'll definitely see this "Toki no Kane" (Bell of Time)
It makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period,
and it's a perfect presence for the streetscape!
It's kind of funny that you only need to press a button to ring it🤣🤏
And it rings just 20 seconds after the bell has finished...!
If you come to Kofu, be sure to experience the sound of this bell 😂
____
I visited on April 11th
The cherry blossoms were beautiful🌸
In some places, the leaves had already fallen😲
____
Walking through Koshu Yume Kouji in Kofu,
you just can’t miss the “Toki no Kane” bell tower.
It feels like stepping into the Edo period—such a perfect fit with the nostalgic townscape!
What’s funny is… you ring the bell just by pressing a button!
And it goes off 20 seconds later—that little delay makes it oddly fun!
If you’re ever in Kofu, you’ve gotta experience that sound for yourself!
⸻
I visited on April 11th
and the cherry blossoms were still beautiful!
Some spots already had green leaves, though—spring is definitely moving fast.

[Yamanashi] Take a break at Heidi's Village while admiring the flowers and Mt. Fuji
We used Heidi's Village in Yamanashi Prefecture as a lunch venue for a bus tour, and there was a lot to see!
There are lots of flowers both indoors and outdoors in the park,
and the village and buildings are designed to match Heidi's worldview 👀
Lunch was buffet style, and we were able to enjoy Yamanashi gourmet dishes such as "hoto"!
They also had raclette cheese, which you can eat depending on the course 🫕🧀
We climbed the tower, which started to look a bit like an observation deck,
and from the top we could see Mt. Fuji in the distance 🗻

We went to all of them on the second day of the trip by rental car✌️
Oishi Park and Shinkurayama Sengen Park are of course amazing, and the Fuji Deck is a hidden gem🤔
It was a bit difficult to find a parking space, so it might be a good idea to go sightseeing early in the morning! You can buy all the souvenirs at the roadside station~🙆♀️
There were a lot of wine and Mt. Fuji related goods, so it was fun just looking at them☺️

The Beautiful Scenery of Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi, Japan, and the Autumn Leaves on Tenjo Mountain
Last November, I visited Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, during the autumn foliage season.
The autumn leaves were in full bloom, and every step along the path allowed me to feel the pulse of autumn.
The surface of Lake Kawaguchi was like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and the colorful trees, creating a breathtaking view. The thin mist added an extra layer of mystery, contrasting sharply with the brilliant autumn leaves.

Although we were blessed with good weather, we couldn't see Mt. Fuji due to the reflection of the sun...
But Mt. Kinpu looked great!
The 15-minute walk was arduous with many hills,
but only those who made it to the top could see the view.
It's rare to be able to see both Mt. Kinpu and Mt. Fuji in a beautiful view, so those who managed to achieve this were very lucky✌️!

[Kiyosato, Yamanashi] Antique, a small hotel reminiscent of an old English house, with highly rated cuisine
📍Petit Hotel & Restaurant Old Age
3545 Kiyosato, Takane-cho, Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi
This petit hotel has an appearance reminiscent of an old British house.
I can't help but say "wonderful💕💕💕".
The food is delicious! It has a reputation, and the staff were very kind.
European-style creative cuisine that makes full use of the flavors of the ingredients, using seasonal vegetables and wild plants.
Spare rib appetizer, soup, fish dishes, meat, dessert...
The taste is excellent👍 and the portions are large, so I can see why it is so highly rated.
The breakfast is a beautifully-looking mountain salad, and the soup and bread are also delicious!
Sausages and homemade yogurt!
Oh! The jam was also great.
A relaxing space with antique furniture...
The garden is wonderful, and there is a village of Moegi nearby, so you can get up early in the morning and take a walk.
It was very pleasant ~

Seafood hoto specialty store
📍Hoto Research Institute
When you think of Yamanashi, you think of hoto!
This time I ordered seafood hoto, and it had a great seafood broth!
Not only that, it was a luxurious hoto with plenty of seafood, such as shrimp, crab, white fish, scallops, and flying fish roe!
There were surprisingly many seats, so even though I was struggling for lunch, I was glad I was able to get one!
The hoto was quite filling, so I was really full!
The rice porridge at the end was also delicious!
But the portions were large, so you might want to order after eating some hoto!
(I only got one share)

The Village of Japanese Folktales.
Traditional Thatched Roof Houses Across Japan
"Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba" charges an entrance fee of 500 yen, but there are plenty of attractions to see.
There is a shop where you can buy paintings by Kosei Maeda, the artist behind the original drawings of the anime "Manga Nihon Mukashibanashi." Inside the shop, the anime that many watched during their childhood is playing. → Perhaps those in their 20s or teens might not know about it...
You can see a serene old farming village with displays like a red Mount Fuji made of origami cranes, windmills, and waterwheels.
At the entrance, next to the reception, there is a spring water area where ramune soda is being chilled, which looks very refreshing.
Although there are some security concerns, I found myself thinking that I would love to build a house like this in the future.
