It’s such a pain if you’re in the Mt Fuji area for the Mt Fuji views but the weather has other ideas.
Here are my suggestions for things to do when stuck in the Kawaguchiko area on a wet weather day with kids:

1. Get back to that ryokan!
The universe is telling you to take in Japanese authentic lush country life today!
Read a book on the tatami. Have the slowest, longest kaiseki lunch you can! Get in the onsen and soak.
Here are my favourite places to stay with kids in the Lake Kawaguchi (aka Kawaguchiko) area.
2. Visit the Fujisan World Heritage Centre
You can even order the Fuji-san curry rice plate here!
3. Go to the Fujisan Shokupan Bakery to buy the Mt Fuji Bread!
It’s very blue and quite sweet but we still liked it ! Most photogenic sandwich ever!
4. Go to Syabu-Yo for all you can eat Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki
This chain of sukiyaki restaurants is one of our favourites. The restaurant is directly opposite Fuji-Q Highland. All you can eat veg and meat, dessert, rice, curry.
6. The Music Box “Music Forest” Museum
We’ve been here once and it’s charming and a bit kitsch. The kids seemed to like it too.
