Fuji Five Lakes 🗻 Easy trips or quiet escapes—your choice! ✨ #japan #fuji #shorts
Ranking the Fuji Five Lakes by accessibility 🗻1️⃣ Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖)The easiest to reach with direct trains and buses from Tokyo. Once at Kawaguchiko Station, buses, taxis, or a short walk take you to the lake. ⚠️However, it’s the busiest lake, especially on weekends, with long waits for lunch and popular spots. (~2 hours from Tokyo)2️⃣ Lake Yamanaka (山中湖)Direct highway buses from Tokyo make this lake simple to access. (~2 hours from Tokyo). Great hikes, fewer crowds, and many cute cafes in the area!3️⃣ Lake Saiko (西湖)A quiet spot close to Kawaguchi, with regular buses connecting the two. (~25 mins by bus from Kawaguchiko Station)4️⃣ Lake Shoji (精進湖)Less frequented and remote, with infrequent buses from Kawaguchiko Station. (~30 mins by bus, plan ahead)5️⃣ Lake Motosu (本栖湖)The most secluded lake with sparse transport options—best visited by car. (~45 mins by bus, limited services)🚗 For convenience, choose Kawaguchi or Yamanaka. For solitude, Shoji and Motosu are ideal.Have you been to any of these lakes?
