Ideas for Kawaguchiko:
- Hotel Mifujien: "This aging hotel is the only one of the ryokan and hotels along Lake Kawaguchiko's northeastern shore which opens its baths to non-staying guests during the day. Its gender separated bathing facilities have seen better days, but the views of Mount Fuji are quite nice."
- ~2k walk (should be <30m) or we can take the tourist bus which comes ever 15m and costs ¥230
- Onsen "This new facility is run by and located next to Fuji Q Highland. Its baths are a modern take on traditional wooden bathhouses with both indoor and outdoor baths for each gender. Unfortunately, the baths do not face Mount Fuji, but there is a good view of the mountain from the restaurant."

- Get there with free shuttle bus that comes every hour or so at :52 from Kawaguchiko station or go to Fuji-Q-Highlands stop and walk from there. It's not so bad from there.
- Maybe take direct bus back? This page has description: https://www.fujiyamaonsen.jp/en/access.html#sect02 [1] [2] Seems like the likely options are ~13:30, ~15:30 (every two hours) direct from Highlights.
Dinner in Tokyo:
- Kome Kome maybe?
