    Heard that Mount Fuji has finally received its first snowfall of the year? 🗻 After experiencing the latest snowfall on record last year, Mount Fuji welcomed its first snowfall of the year today. After several days of rain, this year's snowfall is more than half a month earlier than last year. I'm really looking forward to this year's autumn foliage season; what surprises will this magical country bring us? The season for Mount Fuji has arrived!

    As the cable car slowly ascended, the world outside the window gradually sank below. First, the rows of hotel rooftops appeared, then the lakeside road stretched out like a gray ribbon. Lake Kawaguchi below slowly revealed its full form—no longer just a glimmer of water, but a vast, warm, lustrous piece of jade, carefully cradled in the palm of the surrounding dark green mountains. The moment the cable car passed the treetops, Mount Fuji appeared. It was there, as if it had always been. The snow-capped peak that had required so much effort to look up from the lakeside was now almost level with my eyes. The clouds moved quickly, casting flowing shadows on the conical mountain, and the outline of the snow trembled slightly between the light and shadow, like a long, frozen sigh. At the foot of the mountain, the "Fuji Five Lakes" are like scattered mirrors, with Lake Kawaguchi being the brightest, reflecting the sky and the shadows of the mountains, as well as our slowly moving gondola—we look at the mountains, and the mountains also see themselves in its clear pupils.

    A park near Lake Kawaguchi, it is very beautiful. If the weather is good, you can see the whole view of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, there were too many clouds on the day we arrived, which covered the top of Mount Fuji. There are also white swans by the lake, you can take a photo with them. Various flowers are also planted by the lake. There are flowers everywhere all year round. Many of the names are heard for the first time. It is nice to walk around.

    I booked my Fuji-Kawaguchiko Amemory Cruise ticket in advance on the Ctrip app. On the day of the cruise, I simply scanned the QR code from my order and boarded randomly – very convenient! The weather was fine, and the views of Mount Fuji from the cruise ship were amazing!
