See Mt Fuji from Lake Motosu

Lake Motosu is the deepest and clearest of the Fuji Five Lakes, famous as the viewpoint depicted on the Japanese 1,000 yen banknote. The view from the northwest shore shows Mt Fuji reflected in the deep blue waters, a scene that has been iconic since photographer Okada Koyo captured it in the 1930s. The lake is less developed than Kawaguchiko, offering a more natural and peaceful experience. It is popular for camping, especially at the Koan campground made famous by the anime Yuru Camp. The surrounding forest and the clarity of the water make this a special destination.
