Yamanashi Prefecture (山梨県, Yamanashi-ken) is located immediately west of Tokyo in the Chubu Region. The northern half of Mount Fuji and the Fuji five Lake region is located in Yamanashi Prefecture. The prefectural capital is Kofu.
The country’s most iconic landmark. Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan) is 3776 meters Japan’s highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshiped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people throughout the centuries.
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.
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.
Top attractions:
– Kubota Museum: Excellent museum about the kimono artist.
– Lake Kawaguchi: Most easily accessible and interesting lake.
– Chureito Pagoda: Pagoda with Mount Fuji in the background.
