10/02/2024, 11:19 Fuji Five Lakes Travel Guide - What to do around the Fujigoko

The Fuji Five Lake (富士五湖, Fujigoko) region lies at the northern base of Mount Fuji about
1000 meters above sea level around the lakes Kawaguchiko, Saiko, Yamanakako, Shojiko and
Motosuko. It is one of the best places to view Mount Fuji from a close distance and a good base
for climbing the mountain.

Fujigoko is known as a lake resort area, where hiking, camping, fishing and snow sports are
among the popular outdoor activities that can be enjoyed. There are also plenty of hot springs
and museums found in the area, along with Fuji Q Highland, one of Japan's most popular
amusement parks with record-breaking roller coasters.

Among the lakes, Lake Kawaguchiko is the easiest to access and offers the most things to see
and do for the average foreign traveler. The four other lakes are less developed than Lake
Kawaguchiko and are not as easy to access by public transportation.
