There is no direct airport access. Travelers typically reach Tokyo or Shinjuku first, then take a bus or train for approximately one hour. Local bus networks are efficient for reaching major sights without a car.
Spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage offer stunning visuals but attract crowds. Winter provides dry air and high chances of clear skies, making it the optimal season for capturing sharp reflections of Mount Fuji on the lake.
