See Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi
North SideLake Kawaguchiko is the most popular and accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes, offering some of the most photographed views of Mt Fuji. On calm mornings, the lake creates a stunning mirror reflection of the mountain. The northern shore, particularly around Oishi Park, provides unobstructed panoramic views. The area is well-developed for tourism with hotels, restaurants, and onsen baths along the lakefront. Cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage make this a year-round destination. The Kawaguchiko Music Forest and various museums add cultural attractions to the natural beauty.
