[2025 Fujikawaguchiko Attraction] Travel Guide for Saiko Lake (Updated Apr)

#roadtrips We just had the most amazing road trip exploring Fuji’s Five Lakes—Yamanaka, Kawaguchi, Saiko, Shoji, and Motosu! We had some bad luck with the weather—Mount Fuji was hiding in the clouds during our entire road trip around the Five Lakes. Even though we missed out on the iconic Fuji view, the lakes were still absolutely stunning, with peaceful nature all around. #100waysoftravel #japan #fuji #japantrip

The Fuji Five Lakes are not only famous for their spectacular views, but are also popular as campsites. Of the Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Saiko is the perfect area to enjoy the natural surroundings of Mt. Fuji. There aren't many open areas, so nature feels closer. Mt. Fuji surrounded by mountains and the silence are part of the charms unique to Lake Saiko. There are so many options that you can find a campsite just a short drive away. Another great thing about this area is that you can choose from a variety of campsites depending on your level of difficulty, from full-scale camping to places with plenty of facilities. Be careful in the winter as some areas freeze badly. #FujiFiveLakes #LakeSaiko #Campsite #TouristSightseeing

Today, I will take you to see the atmosphere of Kawaguchiko, Mt. Fuji. It was a trip in July, so there was some rain. I took the train from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko Station. Then I bought a ticket for a cable car to go up the mountain on the opposite side of the lake. You will see the green Mt. Fuji in the distance and the beautiful city and lake. It is a different feeling from when it snows. If anyone comes during the rainy season or July, try to stop by. It is a different atmosphere from returning during the festival when there are a lot of people. #japantravel #fujisan #traveljapan

I never thought I'd visit Lake Saiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, in winter. Unlike when I visited in early autumn, the nearby river was frozen over, probably due to the biting cold. There were no trees or flowers in bloom, but the cold air allowed me to see Mt. Fuji in all its beauty. #YamanashiPrefecture #WorldHeritage #Mt.Fuji

#Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations When we arrived at West Lake, we saw that the lake was calm and clear, the lakeside was shaded by willow trees, the lake was clear green, and the scenery was magnificent and breathtaking. Then stroll along the lakeside avenue and enjoy the comfortable scenery of lakes and mountains. Suddenly I discovered that in the distance near the lake, the mountains of Mount Fuji were vaguely visible. Although simple, they were full of aesthetic value. Enjoying the joy of nature and strolling aimlessly along the lakeside, I felt truly relaxed and happy at the moment. Before leaving, I took a special moment to admire the colors of West Lake. The colors are so soft and beautiful in spring and summer, which really won my heart. I benefited a lot from this trip to West Lake.

#2024wish It is not as large, and I read that mainly because there is only one vantage point for Mount Fuji on the northwestern tip of Lake Saiko, it is much less touristy than Lake Kawaguchiko. Beautiful views abound from around the Lake. I feel that the mountains around the lake are no less beautiful in their verdant green, as opposed to the elusive Mount Fuji. Indeed an awesome part of the Japanese alps. It is soothing to view the lake as the scenery changes as the bus winds along its perimeter. In 2024, I want to be back here.

This trip we drove around the lake. We didn't plan as usual because we booked the ticket and flew right away. Luckily, the accommodation we found didn't have a full view of Fuji. But luck was not on our side. The sky was not clear 😅 We saw Fuji on the day we were going to Tokyo. So, we don't have many pictures from this trip. Kawaguchiko is a must-visit. I was very impressed. We stayed at Nekoana Glamping. It's very suitable for families. There is a fireplace. You can have a small party. The accommodation recorded a video, but it seems like we forgot to record it. When we arrived, we were very tired. 🥲

West Lake, located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, has a total area of ​​60.04 square kilometers as of March 2023. It starts from Songmuchang and Baolu in Hangzhou City in the east and turns to the north of the Children's Palace Square. It starts from Gulou along the foothills of Wushan, Ziyangshan and Yunju Mountain in the south, and from Liufangling, Zhuganshan, Jiuquling and Mingrenling to Meirenfeng in the west. It turns 30 meters north of Qingzhiwu Road from the foothills of Laohe Mountain in the north. West Lake was formerly known as Wulin Water, Qiantang Lake, Mingsheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, etc. West Lake is surrounded by mountains on the north, west and south sides, and the east side is the urban area. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a city on one side. The outline of the lake is approximately elliptical. Baidi and Sudi divide the lake into five parts: Outer Lake, Inner Lake, Yue Lake, Xili Lake and Xiaonan Lake. There are four islands in the lake: Gushan, Xiaoyingzhou, Huxinting and Ruangongdun. In 2011, "Hangzhou West Lake Cultural Landscape" was included in the World Heritage List. In ancient times, West Lake was a shallow bay connected to Qiantang River. Due to siltation, the sea was blocked and the seawater inside the sand spit became a lagoon. When poets Bai Juyi and Su Dongpo served as local governors in Hangzhou, they carefully managed West Lake, forming the beautiful scenery of three islands in the lake, Baisu two dikes, and the shadow of the tower on the lake. When boating on West Lake, every beautiful scenery that comes into view is unadorned and natural. The beauty of West Lake lies in its tranquility and naturalness, its freshness and pleasantness, and its exquisiteness. Especially in the rain, West Lake has a different scene. I saw the drizzle falling in West Lake, like countless silver silk threads connecting the sky and the lake, making a rustling sound, as if someone was singing happily; the willow girl kept swaying in the breeze and drizzle, as if dancing happily. "The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is sunny, and the mountains are misty and beautiful when it rains. Transportation Bus: Take Hangzhou Metro Line 1 to Longxiang Bridge Station, walk 400 meters from the station to the core attractions of West Lake. Subway: Take Hangzhou Bus K4, You 2 and get off at Su Di Station; take Bus 28, 15 and get off at Yuquan Station; take Bus 27, 7 and get off at Yuefen Station to reach the core attractions of West Lake. #trip

Yamanashi Prefecture Lake Saiko Located in Kawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, Lake Saiko is one of the Fuji Five Lakes. It's the lake next to Lake Kawaguchi. I love lakes, and I often enjoy touring the Fuji Five Lakes. It's tough without a car, but it's a fun course to drive around. #Yamanashi #FujiFiveLakes

Fujikawaguchiko has 2 famous lakes. One is the famed Lake Kawaguchi and the the other is a rather peculiar lake surrounded by luxurious hotels and amusement parks. Saiko Lake is rather small compared to Lake Kawaguchi, but it still offers a lot to tourists. It is very pretty during Autumn because it is surrounded by mountains that have countless Maple Trees. A park in the area also offers rides in the lake which is definitely fun for family get-togethers! #holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear
