Lake Tanuki

28-Dec-2025 Weather was good and Fujisan looks majestic in Lake Tanuki. We scrolled around.

The view was so unreal it was out of a dream! So worth a drive to see Fujisan from this side. We arrived late morning and there was no crowd!

Beautiful lake. One round is 3.3km, there is dedicated road for bike and walking.

This is a good place for relaxation in nature. On a sunny day, it's a great spot to see Mt. Fuji. If you have the time, I recommend spending at least 2 hours here. So, you can leisurely stroll around the lake and maybe bring your own food for a picnic. Although renting a bike is available, I'm advised not doing so because The path is fairly narrow and is the same path that walkers use. Despite the large number of families and couples camping there, it doesn't feel overly crowded. If you don't have a car and have to travel by public transportation, you must carefully manage your schedule or you could waste hours waiting for the bus. Noted: I visited there in the early summer.

A quiet place to see Mt. Fuji, though it’s a pity for me that I didn’t see it when I arrived. So many cloudy days in April 😿 BTW, free parking here. And don’t stay overnight due to bears.

Magical place. A huge beautiful lake surrounded by nature. If you are lucky you can take a great shot of mount Fuji.

Calm and pleasant. Nice walking paths. Great Mt. Fuji views. Pictures from mid-Nov 2023.

Fantastic views in this area, not least of Mount Fuji (apparently, you can see the "double diamond Fuji" phenomenon from here). Beautiful lake with a campground and, according to a sign, an onsen (I haven't tried it). An hour by bus from Fujinomiya Station and it's on the same bus route as the Shiraito Falls, so you could visit both places in a single day trip.
