Lake Ashi pirate ship
Why is Lake Ashi traversed by a fleet of pirate ships? Don’t ask us – but there’s something pleasingly surreal about viewing Mount Fuji from the deck of a replica galleon! Younger kids (and some adults) will love having the chance to meet and have their photo taken with a bona fide Japanese pirate, and there is a professional photographer on deck should you should wish to preserve this peculiar experience forever.
Just one of the many bizarre and surreal but utterly fantastic curve balls that Japan throws at you, the Lake Ashi pirate ships certainly make viewing Mount Fuji all the more memorable. However, Mount Fuji is very shy and if she happens to be hiding behind the cloud line, the ornate craftsmanship, life size pirate figurines and kitsch pirate paraphernalia provide some entertaining photo opportunities as a little consolation!
