About this spot

A lakefront park on the north shore of Lake Yamanaka offering Lake Yamanaka's finest viewpoint—an unobstructed view of Mount Fuji directly across the lake. On windless days, you may witness the reflected image of Mount Fuji on the lake's surface—the upside-down Mount Fuji. A cycling road runs along the lakeside, making it a pleasant spot for leisurely strolls. This iconic composition, beloved by photographers, is perfect for capturing a memorable couple's photo.

Tips

Free parking and restroom facilities are available, making it easy to stop by car. Windless early mornings and evenings are the best times to catch the reflected Mount Fuji. The lakeside offers little shade from sunlight, so bringing a hat and sunscreen is recommended. Mount Fuji is especially beautiful in winter when the air is crisp and clear.
