Lake Kawaguchi is the second largest of Fuji Five Lakes. It is the most developed area and easily accessible to the Fuji Five Lakes. A hot spring resort town with various tourist attractions and views of Mount Fuji is located around the lake`s eastern end, while the northern and western shores are mostly undeveloped.
The best views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from the lake`s northern shores and are particularly breathtaking during the cherry blossom season around mid April and the autumn colors around the first half of November. One of the nicest spots for cherry blossoms is the seaside promenade near the Kawaguchiko Music Forest and the Circle Theater, while photographers will enjoy the `Momiji Tunnel` for autumn colors, a maple tree covered road section along the lake`s northern shore.
