Lake Kawaguchi is where Japan's most famous mountain meets its own reflection. The Fuji Five Lakes area offers the postcard view, but also lavender fields, lava caves, and ropeway rides to panoramic viewpoints. In autumn, the Momiji Corridor turns crimson. In winter, Fuji's snow cap hangs over frozen stillness.
