Yamanaka Pier (山中 桟橋乗り場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

An elegant swan-shaped pleasure boat that departs from Asahigaoka Pier on Lake Yamanaka. The approximately 25-minute lake cruise offers unobstructed panoramic views of Mount Fuji from the deck. Viewing Mount Fuji from just above the lake's surface provides a different, more impressive experience than viewing from the shoreline. Lake Yamanaka is also known as a place where swans fly in during winter, making this romantic experience of cruising the 'Swan Lake' aboard a swan-shaped boat a highlight of your date.

Tips

Parking lots, restaurants, and souvenir shops are available near Asahigaoka Pier, making it easy to have lunch after disembarking. Even in summer, there's a refreshing breeze on the water, so bringing a light jacket is recommended. Cruise schedules vary by season, so check the departure times on the day before heading to the pier.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour (approximately 25 minutes of cruising). Early to mid-afternoon when the wind is calm offers the most stable and comfortable lake conditions.
