Day7 - Fuji Five Lakes (24-Mar)




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.

Due to the cloudy weather in last two days, we have decided to try our luck to "see" the sacred Fujisan by going to Kawaguchico as per intitial plan. We left Fuji-Hakone at 8am and proceed to Gotemba station. From there, we need to get another bus which takes about 1.5hrs to Kawaguchico Station. 皇天不负有心人, we saw Fujisan along the travel journey! I was so excited , my finger can't stop pressing the camera shutter button, afraid this beautiful poster-like scene hanging on the sky will just disappear in the next minutes. I can expressed the feeling merely through plain words, for those who has seen the sacred mountain in the first time definitely know what I am saying ;)
