Get some extra adventurous spices in peaceful & beautiful Kawaguchiko!! - Kayaking at Kawaguchiko is one of the most wonderful highlights of a trip to see Fuji Mount (when I took my retired parents to visit Japan). The tour guide as a photographer was so friendly, enthusiastic and supporting guy with clear instructions so for one who had never experienced kayaking alone before I could easily master the kayak in the first few minutes on the water. You will enjoy the feeling of freedom in the middle of the vast lake, above is the beautiful blue sky and look out to see the mountain, enjoy the romance of the white clouds swirling around the mountain. The service team is very helpful as well and I also received a discount card then later on I took my parents to pedal the swan boat. This is a must-try activity for extra adventurous spice when you travel and enjoy this beautiful and peaceful town. Thank you very much, NaturaBase! Hope to welcome you guys in Sweden once day!

A great morning activity - 5/5 This was amazing! Our guide was fantastic and told us loads of interesting facts about the lake and local area. His English was fantastic, and he really went above and beyond, even taking photos of us when we left our phones in the hotel! Thank you ☺️

Awesome and unforgettable! - This was exceptional. I had a solo kayak with my host Kato and the weather was just perfect. The view from the center of the lake was awesome. It was so sweet that the company gave me ice water and offered popsicles after. Kato was so kind and offered to take photos and even gave me a recommendation for dinner. I loved this experience.

A serene way to view Mt. Fuji - We were very fortunate that my friend and I were the only two people in the session. Having both kayaked before it allowed us to go further. Our guide really allowed us to take the lead in where we went, following a safe distance behind us. The lake was incredibly calm and it was a beautiful morning. By far my favourite start to any morning of my trip. Highly recommended.

Best way to start your day! - Promise me you’ll wake up early for this kayak trip. Anytime later will discount the experience. The morning breeze and cozy sunrise simply warms your heart. It is not labour intensive if that’s your concern.
