Oishi Park is one of the most popular spots to enjoy the iconic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi together. Along the lakeside promenade, vibrant flowers bloom throughout the seasons — lavender in summer, red kochia in autumn, and colorful blossoms in spring. On clear mornings, photographers often gather early to capture the reflection of Mt. Fuji over the calm lake.

On the west side of Oishi Park, the “Flowers Road” offers a beautiful walkway lined with seasonal flowers that can be enjoyed year-round. Nearby, you can visit the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center, known for its blueberry picking and café with panoramic Mt. Fuji views.

Oshino Hakkai is a charming tourist spot located in a small village between Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanakako. It is famous for its eight crystal-clear ponds, fed by snowmelt from the nearby Mt. Fuji. The water is so clear that you can see colorful fish swimming and various aquatic plants thriving. Visitors can even drink fresh, cool spring water directly from the source.

In addition to the ponds, Oshino Hakkai features a small open-air museum called Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan, where you can explore a traditional farmhouse and see historical farming tools, household items, and even samurai armor and weapons.

Chureito Pagoda is one of Japan’s most famous photo spots, offering the iconic view of Mount Fuji framed by a red five-story pagoda. Located within Arakurayama Sengen Park, visitors can climb about 400 steps to reach the viewing platform that overlooks the city, the pagoda, and Mt. Fuji in perfect alignment. The scenery is breathtaking in spring with cherry blossoms and autumn with vibrant leaves, making it a must-visit for photographers and travelers alike.

The Sagamiko Winter Illumination takes place at Lake Sagami Resort Pleasure Forest in Kanagawa. One of the largest illumination events in the Kanto region, it features about six million LED lights covering the hillsides, animated light shows, dancing water fountains set to music, light tunnels, and amusement park rides including a Ferris wheel.

It’s a popular spot for romantic dates, making it a must-visit winter attraction near Tokyo.
