explanation: Located in southern Yamanashi prefecture on the northeastern slope of Mt Fuji, it forms one of 5 Fuji lakes (Fujigoko). It stemmed from a lava flow from Mt Fuji which had blocked Katsura river. Its surface is 6.4 km2 (the largest among 5 Fuji lakes) and the deepest point is 13m. Located at 951m high, it is one of the most popular summer resorts situated near Tokyo and the lake shore is fit for a camping. In winter, the lake becomes a skate ring. You can get there from Fujiyoshida city by bus.
