Mount Fuji is most frequently featured for my Today’s Japan Photo series. But its surrounding scenery is lovely as well, and today we will be visiting Lake Kawaguchi 河口湖, one of the Fuji Five Lakes.
This great looking photo of Lake Kawaguchi was taken by digicacy. Just like yesterday’s photo, this is a HDR image as well. I just love how the reflection of Mount Fuji is being casted on the lake.
Anyway heres a little more information on Lake Kawaguchi 河口湖:
Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖) is a lake near Mount Fuji, Japan. Located in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, it is the most popular of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of tourists, and is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Kawaguchiko also serves as a major hub for those wishing to climb Mount Fuji during the climbing season (July & August). It is situated at an altitude of approximately 800 metres, which accounts for its relatively cool summers and frequently icy winters. Recent years have seen Lake Kawaguchi replace nearby Lake Yamanaka as the most popular in the area, current population stands at around 25,000 (2005 figures)
