Hands down the BEST view of Mt. Fuji in the five lakes area. The whole place feels serene and is not crowded at all like Kawaguchiko. A real gem of a spot. I hope not too many people find out about it 😉
Unlike what some reviewer said, this has got to be the best vantage to shoot Fuji mountain! This is only the point where one can see a baby mountain in front of Fuji. Together with the lake as the foreground, it makes a picturesque shot! Best time to come will be sunsetting time. One do not need to rent a car to come here. Just take the blue line bus. For me, its a MUST to come by if you want to take a great shot of Fuji mountain! Don't miss this spot!!
精進 lake is the smallest one of the five-lake of Mount Fuji. The watchable view of Mount Fuji from this lake is merely the upper head part. However, if you rent a car and want to drive along whole nother lakes, this 精進 lake is still worth to stay.
I heard that this lake is good to fish, I will try is next time.
