SUWAKO DUCK TOUR
Dive onto Lake Suwa on an amphibious bus! An exhilarating tour that allows you to enjoy nature on the lakeside from land and water.
This is a 50-minute guided tour on an amphibious bus of the famous spots around Lake Suwa (including a 20-minute cruise on Lake Suwa) from/to “SUWA GARASUNOSATO”, a tourist attraction in Suwa.
Because the buses have no windows, you can enjoy the refreshing breeze and natural beauty of the lake. Also, a guide will explain the area’s charms with his or her entertaining talk.
After driving around Lake Suwa, the bus will drive onto the lake for a scenic ride. The customers will scream with excitement when the bus splashes into the water.
You can enjoy the magnificent view of the Alps and the Yatsugatake Mountains from the lake, and if the weather permits, you can even see a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji.
