What to expect
You'll arrive at the reception to complete paperwork, then spend roughly 15 minutes learning paddle technique and safety basics from your guide. Another 15 minutes of practice gets you comfortable in the kayak. The core 1.5-hour paddle follows, touring the lake's best vantage points for Mt. Fuji photography. Your guide steers the route and captures images for you to keep. Expect calm water conditions suitable for novices; the pace is leisurely rather than athletic.
