There’s a little-known spot for tourists about an hour’s drive from Lake Kawaguchiko. It’s in a place called Tsukiyonezawa, and if you hike for about an hour up the Mount Kuratake hiking trail, you can see giant Japanese horse chestnut trees. The particularly large ones have a trunk circumference of over 8 meters and a height of 30 meters. The hiking trail follows a stream, so you can walk while listening to the sound of the water.If you don’t have a car, the nearest train station is JR Yanagawa Station. It’s a great recommendation for those who want to see lush green forests and giant trees.
