Kawaguchiko is the lowest lake among the Fuji Five Lakes. There are various tourist facilities and hot spring hotels on the lakeside. You can see the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji from anywhere. You can also take a boat on the lake to enjoy the magnificence of Mount Fuji. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can take pictures of Kawaguchiko and Mount Fuji with the cherry blossoms as the foreground. The maple forests along the coast form a beautiful red leaf corridor in the autumn red leaf season. The red and yellow dotted lakeside makes Kawaguchiko more charming. The lake and the red leaves complement each other to form a beautiful scenery. From the mountains and forests to the lakeside, the charming red maples are closely connected, which makes people dazzled.

[Scenery] Mount Fuji here is so big. On a windless, waveless, clear morning, the reverse Fuji is even more beautiful. The lakeside trail is quiet and refreshing, and the morning walk is really pleasant. There are naturally many photography enthusiasts, and they produce blockbuster films. [Fun] You can climb mountains, ride around the lake, take a boat tour, or take a hot spring bath. The hiking of Mount Fuji is very difficult and requires professional equipment and a professional team. You can climb the nearby Shin-Aoyama Sengen Shrine, and there is also a cable car on the lakeside to climb and overlook Lake Kawaguchi. The cruise ship in the lake can see the mountains and water up close. The hotels on the lakeside have hot springs, and the poor ones are open-air. It is a pleasure to take a hot spring bath while watching Mount Fuji. [Value for money] The prices in Japan are relatively high. The hotels on the lakeside have one night and two meals, and the rooms with scenery are about 2,600 per night. It is recommended to live on the east side of the lake, across the lake to see the mountains, and you can see the reverse Fuji from the bed in the hotel.

Kawaguchiko, one of the best places to view and photograph Mount Fuji, is a quiet lakeside town. If you want to take beautiful pictures of Mount Fuji on the lakeshore, it is best to choose early in the morning when the lake is still very calm. You can directly take pictures of the reflection of Mount Fuji on the lake surface, which will be very beautiful. However, if the wind starts to blow later, the lake surface will begin to have ripples and you will not be able to take pictures of the reflected Mount Fuji.  ❤️Kawaguchiko is the lowest lake among the Fuji Five Lakes. The lakeshore is zigzagging and there are various tourist facilities and hot spring hotels on the lakeside. When the weather is clear, you can see the beautiful scenery of Fuji from anywhere. Kawaguchiko has different scenery throughout the year, including cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and lavender in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. No matter which season it is, it complements the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji. Famous as a photo spot for Mount Fuji, Sanmuyazaki, where you can take photos of the reflection of Mount Fuji, can take photos of Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms as the foreground when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. ❤️If you want to take photos of the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, I personally recommend staying in Lake Kawaguchi for a few more days, because when the weather is bad and the clouds are thick, you can't see Mount Fuji. When the weather is bad, we can choose to go to Fuji-Q Highland. When the weather is good, we can go to Kawaguchiko for a cruise, go to Fuji Fifth Station to get close to Mount Fuji, and even climb Mount Fuji. You can also go to Oshino Hakkai, Yamanakako, and Yamanakako Village Hana-no-Miyako Park, all of which are places where you can see Mount Fuji.

Raku Oyado Fuji Ginkei [Heart] Located on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi, all rooms, restaurants and open-air baths face Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi, so you can enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Fuji! The most recommended are the seasonal Japanese kaiseki cuisine "Shuncai no Zen" carefully prepared by the chef and the open-air bath "Fujimi no Yu", which you may want to try on a short trip from Tokyo.
