Spring one-day plan for Lake Kawaguchi: Lunch at Mermaid → Yabusame Festival → Local food at "Furuya"!

#0yentrip My day at Lake Kawaguchi on 4/29 was amazing, so I want to share it! First, we had lunch at Auberge Mermaid. In an open location with a view of Mt. Fuji, I chose the seafood doria. It was hot and creamy, and the view was a feast! The pizza was also very filling! In the afternoon, we made the perfect time to go to the Kai Katsuyama Yabusame Festival. We parked the car at the Fureai Center and took an easy shuttle bus. We couldn't help but applaud the traditional technique of shooting at the target while the horses were running! There were also stalls, so we could feel the local excitement. For dinner, we went to Utagean Furuya in Funatsu, Lake Kawaguchi. It's a izakaya with a relaxed atmosphere, and the food has a homemade feel to it! They also have a wide variety of alcohol, so you'll want to relax and chat at night. It was a spring at Lake Kawaguchi that was 100% satisfying, with nature, culture, and food all packed into it! ⸻ Basic information: 〈Auberge Mermaid〉 ・Address: 1527-1 Oishi, Fujikawaguchiko-cho, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture ・Lunch hours: 11:30-14:00 (check beforehand) ・Features: Restaurant and accommodation with a view of Mt.
