What's interesting in the place?

Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi
at Fujikawaguchiko, Japan

It was about to snow at the time we visited this place.
A few days after our visit, it snowed.
So, the place is sooo cold. Temperature is from 2℃ to -3℃.

It's the Lake Kawaguchi's location. Plus, it is the perfect place to get a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji.

According to Wikipedia, Lake Kawaguchi is the second largest of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of surface area and lowest elevation.

Additionally, this part of Lake Kawaguchi (in the photo above) is just a few steps from the Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum. As per Google, the Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum is a European-inspired garden with an antique music box museum, vintage organs & live performances.
