Fuji Five Lakes, Japan

Displayed:   times.

Content provided by japan-guide.com

The Fuji Five Lake region (Fujigoko) is located at the foot of Mount Fuji at an altitude of roughly 1000 meters above sea level in mountainous Yamanashi Prefecture. It is one of the best places to view Mount Fuji from a close distance and a convenient base for climbing the mountain.

Hiking, camping and fishing are among the popular outdoor activities to be enjoyed in the area. Another attraction is Fujikyu Highlands, an amusement park, featuring Fujiyama, one of the world's highest roller coasters.

The principal city in the region is Fuji-Yoshida. Lake Kawaguchi (Kawaguchiko), the most easily accessible of the five lakes, is located just next to Fuji-Yoshida in neighboring Fuji-Kawaguchiko Town.

The other four lakes are named Yamanaka, Sai, Shoji and Motosu. The latter three are less developed than Lake Kawaguchi, but more difficult to access.
