Lake Kawaguchi is hands down one of the best spots to see Mount Fuji, and the views are just unreal!

It’s the most accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes, so it’s super easy to get to from Tokyo.

Whether you’re strolling along the lakeside, taking a boat ride, or just chilling at a café with a view, Fuji looks absolutely massive from here, especially on a clear day.

If you visit in spring, the cherry blossoms make it even more magical, and in autumn, the red maple leaves are stunning.

Best part? Walking around the lake is free!

You can also rent bikes or take the ropeway up to get an even better view.

It’s a must-visit if you want that iconic Fuji experience!
