Lake Motosu – View of Mount Fuji
The clearest of Mount Fuji’s 5 lakes, located in the Five Lakes region, Lake Motosu is an ideal spot for water sports such as canoeing and sailing. Famous for being the lake depicted on the back of 1000-yen banknotes, Lake Motosu offers views of Mount Fuji on clear days, making the place all the more charming.
Dragon Beach (ドラゴンビーチ) and Fan Beach (ファンビーチ) are our two recommendations if you want to dive into Lake Motosu. However, don’t expect fine sandy beaches where you can sunbathe like in Okinawa! These places are perfect for an afternoon on the water, admiring the scenery from a paddle or canoe.
Tip : Sail on the lake aboard the Moguran, a glass-bottomed boat that lets you discover the lake’s wildlife!
