The Fuji Five Lake region (Fujigoko) is located at the foot of Mount Fuji at an altitude of roughly 1000 meters above sea level in mountainous Yamanashi Prefecture. It is one of the best places to view Mount Fuji from a close distance and a convenient base for climbing the mountain.
Hiking, camping and fishing are among the popular outdoor activities to be enjoyed in the area.
The principal city in the region is Fuji-Yoshida. Lake Kawaguchi (Kawaguchiko), the most easily accessible of the five lakes, is located just next to Fuji-Yoshida in neighboring Fuji-Kawaguchiko Town.
The other four lakes are named Yamanaka, Sai, Shoji and Motosu. The latter three are less developed than Lake Kawaguchi, but more difficult to access. Leave a Comment

The Japan highest mountain of 3776m above sea level. This is a landmark of Japan which will never miss by most tourist. The beauty of the shape is just like a lady's skirt. The peak is changing color from season to season.I think most of us knew why...When getting closer to the peak, the plants are actually getting sorter and when you reach the peak is actually no plants at all. Most the Japanese can explain. There is also some stories behind this landmark! Leave a Comment

An amusement park, featuring Fujiyama, one of the world's highest roller coasters.
Open since 1961.
The site of this park pales in comparison to nearby Mt. Fuji. The 124-acre park has 33 rides, 9 restaurants, 12 snack bars, 17 tennis courts, and 20 bowling alleys.
The highest stand 79m,highest speed 130km/h, the whole ride takes about 3.36minutes. The length is 2045m. Entrance fees is 1000yen/ride.
I can't even walk nearby....scary!!! How bout you? Leave a Comment

Owakudani is the area around a crater created in the last eruption of Mt. Hakone 3000 years ago. Sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers can be experienced on a walk in the area. Eggs boiled in the hot springs are said to prolong one's life by seven years and are readily available for sale. How many can you take? Leave a Comment

Ashinoko or Lake Ashi was formed in the caldera of Mt. Hakone after the volcano's last erruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mt. Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone.
Cruise boats, some of which look like pirate ships, connect Motohakone at the one end of the long lake with hotels and small towns located along the lake's shores and offer nice views of the surrounding mountains. Leave a Comment

Hakone Shrine stands at the foot of Mt. Komagatake along the shore of Ashinoko. The shrine buildings are hidden in a dense forest, but are well advertised by torii gates standing prominently in the lake and the main street of Motohakone. Leave a Comment Directions: A 5 minute walk from the Motohakone boat pier, which again is a 40 minute bus ride from Hakone Yumoto.

Hakone is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Famous for hot springs, outdoor activities, natural beauty and the view of nearby Mt. Fuji, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for a break from Tokyo. Leave a Comment

This elongated lake developed about 3000 years ago during the last volcanic eruption of Mt. Hakone. Extremely scenic, it is lined by dense forests, shrines, and luxury hotels and crisscrossed by passenger ferries, some oddly decorated as pirate ships. It is also popular with fishermen. These photos give an idea of how pretty the lake is. On clear days, which are not frequent, views of Mt. Fuji are supposed to be beautiful but we didn't see any. Leave a Comment

This is a museum of sculpture set in some beautiful lawned gardens. Sound boring? It isn't - even the kids will love this as there are so many massive works, mainly of a modern bent - even giant perspect tubes that the kids can play in.
Some really impressive Henry Moore works and a very nice Picasso exhibition. Leave a Comment Address: Chokoku-no-moriDirections: Take the Hakone Yumoto line from Odawara and get off at Chokoku-no-mori station.
