Introducing Fuji Go-ko
Yamanashi-ken’s Fuji-go-ko (Fuji Five Lakes) region is scattered around the mountain’s northern foothills; its lakes provide perfect reflecting pools for the mountain’s majesty. Yamanaka-ko is the largest, easternmost lake, followed by Kawaguchi-ko, Sai-ko, Shōji-ko (the smallest) and Motosu-ko. Particularly during the autumn kōyō (foliage) season, the lakes make a good overnight trip out of Tokyo, for a stroll or a drive, and the energetic can hike in nearby mountains. Hiking maps are available from the information centres in the two principal towns, Fuji-Yoshida and Kawaguchi-ko.
