Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜Oar Blue

A gorgeous, atmospheric bar that you must make time for if you can! I saw the five-star rating when hurriedly googling for a quick drink-stop before our journey onwards, but was surprised and thrilled by this delightful bar. I loved the attention to detail, from the warm welcome and the bartender's effort to go out of his way to accommodate our drink request, to the rustic decor of the beautiful heritage building. (Oh, and the discerning play-list of 70s/80s classics!) Wish we could have stayed longer, and will certainly visit whenever we can return!

Such a lovely bar - beautifully designed and has a great selection of crafts beers and whisky. And the best Lemon Sours! The owner is very welcoming and the locals will sit and chat with you over a drink! If you're in Kawaguchiko, definitely pop in for a drink! It's the perfect spot to relax 😊

If you are ever near Lake Kawaguchi, check out this bar. The owner is incredibly kind and patient. Perfect for English speakers. It was the best bar atmosphere I’ve ever experienced in a while. Must try their sour beer and cocktails. Would definitely be coming back here. Thank you 🫶 - From Canada
