Kawaguchiko with Live Translation in 75 Languages (Bring Earphones)
A day at Lake Kawaguchi and the Fuji country, with one feature the other tours here do not have: live translation. Alongside the English-speaking guide, the commentary runs through a real-time voice and text system covering more than 75 languages. It arrives on your own smartphone, so bring earphones. The route takes in the Fujisan World Heritage Center and Oshino Hakkai, the village of clear spring ponds under the mountain, with thatched roofs and shops along the lanes. Lunch is around Fuji Q Highland, either included or on your own depending on the option you booked. The cruise on Lake Kawaguchi is an option rather than a fixture. When it is booked, the boat leaves Appare Pier, passes under the Kawaguchiko Ohashi bridge and rounds Unoshima, the only island in the Fuji Five Lakes. The guide hands over the tickets at Kawaguchiko and leaves you to use the time as you like. The bus leaves the Yaesu Bus Terminal at 7:50 and does not wait for anyone. Meeting is at 7:40 on B2. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
