This 300-km ride begins from the lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, the reflections of its snow-covered peak in the water at their most spectacular in winter, and ends with another reflected view of Japan's most famous mountain, at a lake in the highlands of central Japan where we'll try fishing from a unique local design boat. Along the way, we'll sample traditional country ways of life and cooking in an old-style farmhouse and make an adventurous side trip by fat bike through deep mountain snow.
