Lake Motosu Lake Motosu is the third largest and deepest of the Fuji Five Lakes. It is located in the south of Yamanashi Prefecture, near Mt. Fuji. It is also the lake that appears on the 1,000 yen bill, so it is very popular with tourists. In summer, people like to go diving, relax, and do water activities here. It is also popular for camping. #100TravelTips #Lakemotosu #LakeMotosu #Mt.Fuji #tripTravelChina

#bucketlistreboot Lake Motosuko is the westernmost of the Fuji Five Lakes and best known for its appearance on the reverse side of the 1000 yen bill. The lake is difficult to access by public transportation and largely undeveloped except for a few campsites around its shores. Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, boating and other water sports can be enjoyed around the lake. Motosuko was formed when an eruption by Mount Fuji separated a larger prehistoric lake into three smaller lakes in the 9th century. The resulting three lakes, Motosuko, Saiko and Shojiko, remain connected by underground waterways, as they continue to constantly maintain the same water level of 900 meters above sea level.

Camping in front of Lake Motosu during the autumn leaves season. There were quite a few people camping even though the weather was cold and rainy. But the leaves around the lake were starting to change color and it was very beautiful. Even though the fog was so thick that you could see the top of Mt. Fuji. It was a morning full of great memories with friends. I think of that day every time autumn comes.

Koan Campsite 🏕️ A campsite known as the holy ground of Yurucamp. You can camp in the forest or on the lakeside. This is a spot where you can see Mt. Fuji, which is depicted on the 1,000 yen bill and the old 5,000 yen bill. If the weather conditions are good, you can see the upside-down Mt. Fuji reflected in Lake Motosu. This time, we were successful in worshiping the upside-down Mt. Fuji at night. It was great to camp while watching the bonfire and Mt. Fuji. ▪️TIPS ・There are not many bugs in late May, so it is comfortable even for those who hate bugs. ・The temperature at night is around 12℃.

Mt Fuji is indeed a place worth going to especially on winter. If you want a close view I recommend going to Lake Motosu or Kawaguchiko, it was breath taking any time of the day. #mtfuji #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
