Highly recommend - We had an amazing time doing the early morning Kayak with Guillaume as our guide. We were lucky to have clear skies and a great view of Mt Fuji whilst we kayaked on the lake. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and incredible friendly. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommend!

Great way to start the day! - What a special way to start the day! We showed up and were greeted by our English speaking tour guide who made the process smooth from start to finish. CJ was very helpful. He set us up with gear including waterproof pants, jackets, boots, gloves, life vests, and waterproof phone case bags. He also made great coffee!!! After a safety briefing and tutorial, we got on the water. He made sure we were comfortable along the way and took great photos! He also taught us some history and fun facts. We would highly recommend this excursion!

Best morning ever! - We had the best morning out on the lake with Grahame! It was so peaceful at 7am and we loved every second. He knew the answers to all our questions and loads about the lake and area and was the best guide, and also got incredible pictures for us. Everything we needed (warm clothes, phone cases etc) was provided and the coffee was the perfect touch. 100% recommend to everyone!

Great Experience - We had a great experience kayaking on Lake Kawaguchi. The early wake up call was definitely worth it as we saw a clear view of Mount Fuji on a sunny calm morning. Graham the instructor was friendly and provided lots of interesting information on the history of Mount Fuji as well as the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend this activity for someone looking to mark their trip with a very special experience.
