The latest Kawaguchiko excursion boat options

If you have been sightseeing in Kawaguchiko before, you will definitely remember to take theExcursion boat Ensoleille, Mt. Fuji experience on Lake Kawaguchi.

However, after several years of changes and updates, maybe you will not be able to find the cruise ship Ensoleille the next time you come to Lake Kawaguchi for sightseeing. Because as early as 2020, the company operating the cruise ship Ensoleille, Fuji Five Lakes Kisen Co., Ltd. changed the cruise ship Ensoleille to the cruise ship Tenharu APPARE.

But there is no need to worry too much, because the experience and content obtained on the cruise ship Tianqing APPARE are actually similar to the original cruise ship Ensoleille. The biggest difference between the two is that the Ensoleille, a cruise ship designed in western style, has been changed to the Appare, which is full of ancient Japanese style, which makes it easier for the cruise ship to integrate with the environment of Mt. Fuji.
