Can rent a bike. Lots of room for picnic. Camping is available. Take bus from platform 3 at Fujinomiya station, about one hour - buses only leave about once every 2 hours. Some buses from Tokyo station will also go to Kyukamura Fuji (via Fujinomiya station), which is right at the lake.

Fujinomiya is famous for its own version of Yakisoba (やきそば) -- check out any of the small shops with the big Yakisoba flag outside (usually orange in colour). There are several near the station. Some will cook on the table right in front of you. One characteristic is the thick, chewy noodles, some are made by the "Marumo" food factory right in the city. The other characteristic is ground meat, called ‘Nikukasu’ in Japanese. Yakisoba is one of the pride of Shizuoka.
