About this view --------------- This camera looks across Lake Yamanaka toward Mt Fuji from the lakeshore, about 14 km from the summit, and is operated by KTV, the cable television station based in Kawaguchiko. Yamanakako is the largest and closest to Fuji of the Five Lakes, and from the water's edge the mountain dominates the skyline with the lake filling the foreground. The lake's high elevation, close to 1,000 m, keeps the air clearer than in the lowland valleys, and the open water gives an unobstructed line to the cone. Mornings are the dependable window here, from first light to about 9 a.m., before thermal cloud starts building on the summit. October through March deliver the most clear days, and calm winter mornings can add a reflection on the lake surface. In summer the mountain hides often, so use the feed to catch the brief early windows rather than expecting an all-day view.

The lake is about 14 km from the summit and sits at nearly 1,000 m, so the air is often clearer than in the valleys below. Early mornings from October through March are the reliable window; summer visibility is much patchier, with the mountain frequently hidden by midday. When is the best time to catch a clear view on this cam? From first light to about 9 a.m. Calm winter mornings are the standout, when the lake can be still enough to hold a reflection of the cone. From mid-morning onward a cap cloud often forms on the summit and can sit there for the rest of the day. I am heading to Lake Yamanaka, can this cam tell me whether to go now? Yes. This is the view from the water's edge, so a clear summit in the feed means the lakeside promenades, beaches and boat piers have the full Fuji backdrop right now. For a trip later in the day, check the forecast above too, since a clear dawn does not guarantee a clear afternoon. Which Lake Yamanaka camera should I check? All of them, briefly. This lakeshore camera, the Fuyodai camera and the panorama camera each watch from a different point around the lake. Cloud around Fuji is often local, so two angles on the same lake can disagree; if any of them shows a sharp summit, the mountain is out over Yamanakako.
