    No.1 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Fujikawaguchiko
    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.

    "A must visit if you come to Lake Kawaguchiko! And it is super popular. We arrived at 8.35am and there was a short queue. Soon after, a big tour group came. We managed to take the first tram up. Each ride is about 5mins. The weather was great and the views were even greater! Unblocked views of Mt Fuji and its surroundings! There are hiking trails for those interested!We spent about an hour there and made our way down at about 10am. And the queue was crazyyyyy! They probably need to wait 2 hours or more!"

    "If you are looking for an old village vibe and great photos spot, then this place is must visit if you are in Kawaguchiko area. Otherwise, you can skip it.Its a beautiful place in the valley. The houses and the vibe is so great. However, most of the caption are in Japan, so if you don’t have a guide and do not understand Japan, you will not really enjoy it. But, as the surrounding is very nice area, it still worth it to visit and enjoy the vibe."
