"Of the five lakes of Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi is the winner, with a one-two punch of amazing Fuji views and one of Japan's best museums . Check into the Hoshinoya Fuji , and make sure to check out the Itchiku Kubota Kimono Museum, which dazzles even the biggest museum skeptics with its incredible kimono collection. You're likely to be surrounded by well-traveled vacationers; signs are plentiful and cater to international visitors." - Brandon Presser
