TOP 1
Lake Kawaguchi
Lake Kawaguchi

taCommentInfo-imageBased on 2,342 review
Highlights:
Lake Kawaguchi is rich in nature and the scenery varies throughout the year. Cherry blossoms in spring, lavender in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter. Regardless of the season, the scenery of Mt. It is famous as a shooting spot for Mount Fuji. In Sanyazaki, where the reflection of Mount Fuji can be photographed, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji can be photographed with the cherry blossoms as the foreground. Chanyazaki is a small cape that protrudes toward Lake Kawaguchi, and on its protruding part stands a small shrine dedicated to the worship of Fuji's deity, "Kinohanakai Yahime". There are about 501 maple trees on the lakeside, and the autumn leaves make up a unique attraction headed by the red leaf corridor. The lakeside decorated with red and yellow makes Kawaguchiko even more charming. The lake water and the red leaves form a beautiful scenery. From the mountains to the lakeside, the charming red maples are closely connected, making it dizzying. Take the Kawaguchiko cruise boat "ensoleile" (from French, meaning the sun) and circle the lake for about 20 minutes. When the weather is clear, you can see Mount Fuji reflected on the lake surface from the boat, which is the famous "reverse Fuji" landscape. Take a ride on an elegant cruise ship and overlook the stunning scenery.

Highlights:
Dashi Park is located in the Dashi area on the north bank of Kawaguchi Lake. It is a park facing the shore of Kawaguchi Lake. Like Yagizaki Park on the south bank, it is famous for lavender, and it is also the second venue of the Kawaguchiko Lavender Festival. The lavender blooms in late June, and the uninterrupted lavender beauty can be enjoyed until mid-July, so it is also a holy place frequented by photographers who take photos with the theme of "Mt. Fuji and flowers". In the park, there are Kawaguchiko Natural Life Museum, a coffee shop with a view of Mount Fuji, and a large stone glaze traditional handicraft museum. You can also visit these venues while enjoying the natural beauty. I believe you will definitely gain something.

Highlights:
The cable car connected to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1075 meters takes 3 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. From the observation deck on the top of the mountain, in addition to overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, you can also enjoy the superb view of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. It is also the stage of the famous Japanese writer Dazai Osamu's masterpiece "Kachi Kachi Mountain". In line with the content of the story, raccoon dogs and rabbit dolls are decorated in every corner of the cable car, the observation deck and other places, as if they are welcoming the guests. The Tanuki Chaya, which has the image of Mount Fuji branded in the observation deck, is very popular for its signature Tanuki glutinous rice balls.
