▼ Lake Yamanaka – Take a Swan-shaped Cruise or Enjoy a Hot Spring Experience at Lake Yamanaka (Approx. 70 minutes, cruise or hot spring fees are not included)
Lake Yamanaka is the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes, fed by natural rivers. From the lake, you can enjoy views of Mount Fuji with its long ridgelines stretching out on either side, offering a stunning and captivating scene. Swans, known as "hakucho" in Japan, migrate here every year from February to April to lay their eggs, despite the cold. Because visitors often feed them, the swans sometimes approach the shore to interact with guests, which is why Lake Yamanaka is also called "Swan Lake."
On June 22, 2013, as part of "Mount Fuji – Object of Worship and Source of Artistic Inspiration," the area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Lake Yamanaka Swan Cruise "Hakucho Lake" (Swan Lake)
From December 1, 2024, passengers who take the cruise will receive a complimentary bag of swan/fish feed (subject to availability; if feed runs out, no refund will be issued).
The cruise takes about 25 minutes, offering a leisurely journey around the lake while enjoying beautiful views of Mount Fuji and the picturesque surroundings.
In line with the concept of "beautiful swans floating on Lake Yamanaka at the foot of Mount Fuji," the boat is designed to resemble a graceful swan. It has won multiple design awards and was created by renowned Japanese designer Reiichi Mitooka. The swan-shaped boat glides elegantly across the lake, with an interior crafted from oak wood to highlight its natural grain, creating a warm, relaxing atmosphere. To enhance the experience for children, the boat has special seating for them and includes binoculars and a wheel for a "captain" experience. The carefully designed details throughout the boat make it a unique and enjoyable experience.
While enjoying the stunning natural beauty on the boat, you can also have the rare opportunity to interact with wild swans (swan feed can be purchased for ¥100 per bag at the boarding area).
