Wander along the bluestone paths of the ancient village, and watch the spring water reflect Mount Fuji as well as the surrounding red autumn leaves or green foliage. Lunch is available here at your own expense, featuring authentic Japanese delicacies such as freshly grilled mochi, Mount Fuji-themed desserts, and crispy tempura.
