The area north of Mt. Fuji contains several lakes and is called the Fuji Five Lakes area. The lakes are specifically Kawaguchiko, Saiko, Yamanakako, Shojiko and Motosuko and they afford the best views of Fuji including many of those seen in magazines and advertising. Therefore I would strongly urge any visitor to Japan to include a visit during their trip. The biggest lake is Kawaguchiko and that area has a town and many things to see and do as well as several excellent hotels, some with hot spa's. One can actually driver around Fuji beginning at places like Mishima which is a station on the main Tokyo to Osaka shinkansen line, and rent a car as we normally do to drive up the east side of Fuji, round the top and down the west side. This can be done in a day, but I"d recommend spending at least one of two days to explore the area as there are truly some wonderful places to visit.

Lake Kawaguchiko is one the the Mt Fuji 5 Lakes. It's very convenient to travel from Tokyo by train, highly suggested to get a Tokyo pass and reserve the seat. Also, it's highly recommended to rent a bike, the best way to travel around the Lake. There are many nice cafes and restaurant around the Lake area.

One of the five lakes located around Fuji San. The light and views of Fuji San are always different based on the weather. Many restaurants, shops, hotels, bnb, campgrounds located alongside or in the mountains a short drive a away. Nice trail going around the lake, perfect for q stroll or bike ride. Bike rental a available as well as boats.

A different yet lovely view of Mt Fuji on a clear blue sky at Lake Shoji from Lake Kawaguchiko. We enjoyed the peacefulness as we strolled along the lake. It is further away from the busy Lake Kawaguchiko and the blue line bus frequency from Kawaguchiko station is very low so there are lesser tourists here. We rented a car near Kawaguchiko station and drove here.
