FIVE MOUNTAIN FUJI LAKES
The five lakes are located on the north slope of Fuji-san. The region, very forested, is particularly beautiful in the autumn. Throughout the year, the five lakes accumulate tourist potential: fishing on line or in ice (wakasagi), skating, canoeing, etc. Those who would like to hike will be able to take a card with tourist information offices.
The five lakes (Stayokay, Kawaguchi, Sai, Shoji and Motosu) each have their own charm and vie for their view on Fuji-san. For this, the most famous is Kawaguchi lake.
Yet many Japanese agree that the most beautiful lakes are small, including Lake Shōji. The ténébreuse beauty of its waters gives it a poetic atmosphere. Motosu Lake is the only one not to freeze in winter because of the depth of its waters. It is appreciated des in summer. It is also possible to visit caves of volcanic origin (Narusawa and Fugaku), northwest of Sai-Ko Lake. D'Eboshi-san (a good hour and a half walk from the road), a beautiful sea view of the Tree of Fuji (Aokigahara-jukai) is available to all those who come to this point.

Members' reviews on FIVE MOUNTAIN FUJI LAKES
Si vous voyagez pendant le mois de Mai, ne ratez pas cette incontournable destination car le village accueille le Shibazakura matsuri ("festival Shibazakura"), où le pied du mont Fuji se pare d'un impressionnant et magnifique manteau rose avec près d'un million de fleurs écloses.
Comme pendant tout matsuri il est bien évidemment possible de se restaurer sur place avec de nombreux stands de spécialités culinaires locales.
Pour éviter la foule (plusieurs milliers de visiteurs par jour) et apprécier ce lieu magique, privilégiez une visite le matin :-)
Bonne expérience
