When it comes to outdoor activities in Yamanashi, NaturaBase is a must-visit spot, offering everything from SUP on the lakes to smelt fishing. But did you know that there are also plenty of outdoor adventures you can enjoy even on rainy days?

While lake activities may be difficult to hold in bad weather, outdoor activities actually shine brightest when it rains. The wet forest and moss-covered trees of the Aokigahara Jukai (Sea of Trees) glisten beautifully under the raindrops, creating a mystical atmosphere you won’t experience on a sunny day.

That’s why rainy-day outdoor adventures are highly recommended—they let you experience the natural beauty of Mt. Fuji in a completely new way.

And here’s the best part: guests staying at Glamping Village Fuji Kawaguchiko, Granpdome Fuji Oshino, or Private Villa Glamping Fuji Yamanakako can enjoy special discounts on NaturaBase outdoor activities.

In this article, we’ll introduce the must-try outdoor experiences in Yamanashi along with these top-rated accommodations, so you can plan an unforgettable trip at the foot of Mt. Fuji!
