Kawaguchiko
I go for the Fuji views and the slow lake-town pace. Stay by the water, wake up early, and let the mountain set the schedule.
Full guide coming soon
Full guide coming soon
By Jenner: I have actually done this trip. The full guide is coming soon, written up from my own notes — what is below is the preview.
What it is
The northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi is the Fuji viewpoint — get there early, before the tour buses and the clouds.
The one-day outline
Get there the night before if you can. Fuji shows itself at dawn or not at all — build the day around the morning, wander the lake after.
Field notes
Notes by Jenner, from places I have actually been. More notes are on the way — the full guide is coming soon.
Sleeping in. Get up early — Fuji hides by noon; let the mountain set the schedule.
