The frequent rain makes June not a good time to come here, but it still has advantages as it is the shoulder season. This month, the rainy weather makes much fewer tourists come here. This way, you don’t need to line up for a long time to do the top programs like the Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Kawaguchi Cruise. At the same time, you need a lower travel cost this month, especially in terms of hotels.June’s high chance of rainfall seems unavoidable. Apart from checking the weather forecast in advance, we also suggest visiting more indoor attractions. In addition, although it is the rainy season, it usually doesn’t rain for a whole day. You can spend 2 – 3 days here and go to visit places on your travel list according to the weather.
