---

Lake Kawaguchi or Kawaguchiko is one of the most easily accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes because it has train connections to Tokyo. Besides being a hot spring onsen spa town Kawaguchiko is most famous for its incomparable views of Mount Fuji best enjoyed from the lake's northern shores. The vIew is particularly special during the cherry blossom season in April and the autumn colors in November. Although Kawaguchiko is located right at the base of Mount Fuji, the mountain is not always visible because of clouds. Visibility tends to be best in the early mornings and late afternoon. However clouds often obstruct the view during daytime even on days with fair weather, and especially so during the hazy summer months.
