Motosu-ko & Curry Ramen
· 304 words · 2 min readPhoto dump from a day trip to 本栖湖 (Lake Motosu).
Lake Motosu is actually quite hard to get to by train. After some digging, I opted to take a seasonal highway bus from Shinjuku to Lake Motosu (around ¥2000 and 2.5 hours one way).
For those who are interested in going to Lake Motosu, be sure to check the weather forecast and the bus schedule. The bus only runs two times a day, and the last bus leaves around 4:20 PM (as of Aug. 2024).
If you can get your DL translated to Japanese, I would 100% recommend renting a car and drive there. They have prefectural-run parking lots and private lots. A lot of surfers just park their cars along Yamanashi Prefectural Route 709.

It's sunny but cloudy, Mount Fuji is barely visible.
There're lots of campers and windsurfers.
