Lake Yamanaka.

Romantic. I want to go back again. Walking around the lake was a great experience, and we were lucky with the weather, so the view of Mount Fuji that day was clear and fantastic. The late cafe had a great view and offered good food and coffee. There was also a 7-11 next to the lake, with all my favorite food and drinks, along with a great latte from the self-service machine ;) First of all, the area is probably one of the best places to take really candid photos of Mount Fuji from below. There are also a few very nice hot springs (onsen) in the restaurants, which offer a lot of diversity and a wonderful break experience. The lake itself was very beautiful just to wander around and enjoy the scenery, so if you plan to stay overnight, it would be worth staying somewhere close to the shore. This is my second self-drive holiday trip to Lake Yamanaka. You can get the opportunity to take breathtaking photos of Mount Fuji around the lake. Drive slowly, stop and enjoy the scenery. You can go on a swan boat cruise. There is a black sand beach where you can stop, buy snacks, and feed the huge fish in the lake with breadcrumbs. They come up to the shore. Then drive to nearby Lake Kawaguchi.
