Ichigo ichie literally means “once-in-a-lifetime chance” but is used

to encourage us to treasure every interaction, even with family

members and friends that we meet every day. If we exchange words

with someone, then we should value that moment as ichigo ichie.

Please take the followingprecautions when riding an e-bike.

Road precautions

Hot spring etiquette Lake Motosu

・ Slow down and pay attention when riding through tunnels.

Visibility is poor, the roads are narrow and the sound of the traffic

can be very loud.

・ Take frequent breaks while riding down mountain roads.

・ Be careful of oncoming traffic on bends and corners.

・ Road conditions change depending on the season.

Prepare accordingly.

The actual spot from where

celebrated photographer Koyo

Okada took the image of Mt. Fuji

depicted on the 1,000-yen note.

The observation deck is within

easy walking distance of Koan

campsite, hostel and restaurant.

Canoeing on the lake and

“shinrin yoku,” or forest bathing,

are two of many reasons to

spend the night at this lakeside

campsite. There are lots of trees

for tent shade and to string your

hammock to. On a clear evening,

the star-filled sky is exquisite.

The center has everything you

need for an exhilarating day at

Lake Motosu. Services include

mountain bike, snorkeling gear

and canoe rental and lessons

in windsurfing and SUP (stand

up paddleboarding). This is

Yamanashi, so kids are more

than welcome.

・Never apply the front brake only. Always use both front and back

brakes.

・For your own safety, keep the bike lights on at all times.

・Switch the bike computer on before mounting the bike.

The computer will register an error if turned on while the bike is

in motion.

・Consider your surroundings and park the bicycle where it will not

cause an obstruction

・Be sure to lock the bike to prevent it being stolen.
