About this spot
Spreading out at the foot of Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi is one of Japan's leading tourist destinations, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every season. Cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, lavender in summer, crimson foliage in autumn, and Mount Fuji floating in crisp air in winter: you will meet new inspiration whenever you visit. Various attractions are scattered around the lakeshore, such as the "Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway" and the "Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum." The area is also well equipped with restaurants serving the local specialty "hoto" noodles and hot spring inns with scenic open-air baths overlooking Mount Fuji. It suits every travel style: enjoying lakeside activities with family, strolling with friends in search of photogenic views, or quietly gazing at Mount Fuji alone to refresh. With good access from central Tokyo, it is an ideal area for a casual weekend getaway into the extraordinary.
