Local Guide FAQ
- What do you recommend (place, Experience, food) in Kawaguchiko area?
Bakery&Cafe ESOLA. Fuji's lava plate is used to bake their bread, which is exquisite! (hard bread in particular is recommended).
There is also a café space where you can relax and enjoy yourself, or buy some bread and go out for a tour around Lake Kawaguchi. The appearance of the store is also very cute, and it is a must-visit place when you come to Kawaguchiko.
- Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.
Sankodai. It is about a 30-minute drive from Kawaguchiko Station, and about a 5-minute walk up from the "Momijidai" observation deck.
As the name "Three Lakes" suggests, this spot offers views of three of the five lakes of Fuji (Lake Saiko, Lake Shojiko, and Lake Motosuko), as well as the Aokigahara Sea of Trees and Mt. Fuji. On a clear day, the view is truly "spectacular.
In addition to driving to Sankodai, you can park your car in the parking lot at the entrance of Momiji-dai and walk up the mountain for about 30 minutes. For those who like trekking, it is very pleasant and recommended! (The road to Momiji-dai is quite bumpy, so please be careful when driving there.)
- Where did you travel to last year and with whom?
I went to Scandinavia with my partner. I was impressed by the brick cityscape. I was also impressed by the delicious food. HOSHINOYA Fuji, where I work, serves gibier cuisine, and the gibier dishes in Scandinavia were also excellent.
I also love Kyoto so much that I took the Kyoto certification test, so I travel to Kyoto every year. (Kyoto is basically a solo trip)
- What do you do on your days off?
I try to dive more and more into things I have never seen, experiences I have never had, and places I have never been. As with travel, I am very excited by the unexpected encounters (people and things) that arise from such travel.
- Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?
Sports sunglasses. I have been using them since my college days when I was active in the rowing club, and they are my custom-made favorites. Not only do they protect me from UV rays, but they are also great for when I want to look a little cool and take a picture (laughs).
