About this view --------------- This camera is operated by KTV, the local cable television station in Fujikawaguchiko, and looks south across Lake Kawaguchi toward Mt Fuji, about 17 km from the summit. The frame pairs the open water of the lake with the full cone rising behind the far shore, the same postcard composition that makes Kawaguchiko the most visited of the Fuji Five Lakes. Because KTV maintains the camera locally, the feed is one of the most dependable around the lake. Conditions here follow the north-side pattern: the clearest window runs from sunrise to about 9 a.m., before thermal haze builds on the cone, and a lenticular cap often settles on the summit from mid-morning. October through March are the most reliable months, and calm winter dawns can put a mirror reflection of Fuji on the water. If this feed is murky, compare it with the Oishi Park camera on the same lake before writing the morning off, since local cloud can block one vantage while the other stays clear.

Most reliably from sunrise to about 9 a.m., when the air is still cool and haze has not yet built on the cone. October through March give the highest clearance rates, while June and September are the cloudiest. From mid-morning a flat cap cloud often settles on the summit and lingers into the afternoon. When is the best time to catch a clear view on this cam? Dawn to mid-morning. Calm winter mornings are the prize window, when the lake can turn glassy and hold a reflection of the mountain. A midday check is much less reliable than an early one, so if you see cloud at noon, try again the next morning rather than giving up on the view. I am heading to Kawaguchiko, can this cam tell me whether to go now? Yes. The camera shows the same across-the-lake view you get from the northern lakeshore promenades, so a sharp summit in the feed means Fuji is out over the lake right now. Cross-check the visibility forecast above before a longer trip, since conditions can change within an hour. How is this different from the Oishi Park camera? Both watch Mt Fuji across Lake Kawaguchi, but from different points on the shore. Oishi Park frames the mountain behind the park's seasonal flower beds, while this KTV camera gives a straight lakeshore composition. Checking both is the quickest way to tell whether cloud is local to one corner of the lake or covering the whole basin. [ Back to all Mt Fuji live cams ](https://isfujivisible.com/mt-fuji-live-cams)
