The most accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes, situated at the northern base of Mount Fuji approximately 90 minutes from Tokyo by bus. The lake's northern shore offers the most photographed reflections of the mountain, particularly at dawn during the periods of clearest atmosphere in autumn and winter. Cherry blossom season brings a classic juxtaposition of pink canopy and snow-capped peak.
