[2025 year edition] Lake Kawaguchi in the autumn when a superb view of Mt. Fuji and colored leaves is enjoyed 8 elections of recommendation

The Lake Kawaguchi in the height of the altitude 830m begins to color around the beginning of November from the middle of ordinary year October, and meets a visit in autumn earlier than downtown. A highlight in a season of colored leaves is the superb view where I wish for Mt. Fuji over the colored leaves with the vivid color. I'll introduce the spot which recommends in the beautiful landscape everyone fascinates in particular.

The autumnal tints dyed in flamboyant autumn at the front and the form of the surface of the lake and grand Fuji that Lake Kawaguchi is quiet in the inside. It's the area exposed to a northern coast of Lake Kawaguchi that you can wish for the autumnal tints like such one painting. A grave event "Fuji Lake Kawaguchi festival of colored leaves" is held at the middle of November which becomes best time of colored leaves. A branch of eating and drinking and a gift can enjoy the walk of colored leaves which colors the trees in the roadside and the neighborhood which develop along lakeside and also stands in a row, and the event is also plenty. The "corridor of colored leaves" where a highlight of the colored leaves which are most is on the west side of the main stadium. The vivid red space where I line up is with the value of the glance so that a river may be covered with approximately 60 of Furuki's stately maples over about 150 m of both banks on pear river. The fantastic world lights up during a period from sunset to 22:00, and appears.

[Best time] at the middle of ordinary year November.

A popular spot of colored leaves of Lake Kawaguchi as well as "corridor of colored leaves" is "tunnel of colored leaves" for about 15 minutes by car to west from the pear river circumference where a festival of colored leaves is also a meeting place. Route 21 of prefectural highway and an avenue of a maple which protrudes so that I may cover a common name "Kohoku view line" will be dyed in red at time of colored leaves, and feeling just goes through the vivid space, and rises.
It's also famous as a photogenic spot and Ingres who wishes for Mt. Lake Kawaguchi and Fuji between the grove of a maple is found and a crowd is being shown by the tourist who enjoys photography of colored leaves. Roadside will be the shade in late afternoon, and that the color takes a picture of Namiki of the maple which colored who lines up the road center vividly becomes difficult. It isn't lit up like a corridor of colored leaves, so I'll visit rather early time.

Oishi park located in a northern coast of Lake Kawaguchi. Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi and flowers feel a drawn autumn scene is wide on the esplanade called "the red-light district way". Because you can meet the impressed view which is to the extent I'd like to put in photograph, it's also famous as a photography spot. Dense woodland in KOKIA where to color one this red-light district way from the early middle of ordinary year October more than a maple colors in deep red. When maybe the form that it was made conical Moco Moco is a wool ball, and that's in space which equals the ground orderly, the sense which strayed into the world of a picture book is remembered. There is an aim from which a member is different with the autumnal tints of the deciduous tree, and the landscape Mt. Fuji and KOKIA can charm is also enough for the impression.
After enjoying walk fully, it's to the cafe Mt. Fuji in the park sees. You can relax comfortably while looking at Mt. Fuji which put on a headdress of floss silk.

The foundation of "Tengachaya" which became a stage of Osamu Dazai's novel learned about by a phrase of "I'd like an evening primrose in Fuji, jigou bran" "tomigokuhyakukei", 1934 (1934). Many literati were learned about widely at the superb view where they wish for Mt. Fuji at the front, and visited including Masuji Ibuse and Osamu Dazai. Dazai also does chief staying in about 3 months at a store at the inside, and I say that "tomigokuhyakukei" was finished writing. When standing in front of the store, a superb view in the autumn when I wish for Mt. colored leaves of the mountains, Lake Kawaguchi and Fuji which expands the foot of mountain big over it at the front can be enjoyed fully.
The feature of the store is the Yamanashi-style Noodle with Miso Soup pot Dazai tasted, too.

It has been loved more than half a century, "Mt. tick, ropeway" also remodels the name in April, 2018 newly, open. It's tied from Lake Kawaguchi Kohan Station to the Fuji bookstand station in Tenjouzan peak. When the gondola which departed the base is raising the height, Lake Kawaguchi is spread big under the eyes, and a maple can enjoy the cityscape with which the trees which turned red edge lakeside. If I arrive at peak, it's to observatory first. A great panorama of Mt. Fuji where GURATESHON to Susono which turned red from the top where a coat of snow is dressed is beautiful is the landscape I'd like to see sometime.
The power spot which is immediately near the observatory "heavenly bell" is also must-see. When I ring a bell, it's said that there is divine favor in love and wife safety. Additionally rabbit is the divine object and a unique spot is here and there the "tile throw" which does several wish accomplishment in "rabbit shrine" and heavenly misses with "Koma rabbit".

There was an area as "Nemba" each house on a thatched roof equals with its back to Fuji in lakeside of Lake Sai formerly. But its form is in something in the past by a typhoon accident in 1966 (1966). It's "Lake Sai iyashi-no-Sato Nenba" that a house on a thatched roof where it can also be said such Japanese primal scene made the village which lines up be revived.
It's dotted with a building on a thatched roof of 20 houses in now, and it's utilized as the store where homemade Experience can be enjoyed, Dining Area and a store of a local stockbroker product. The cityscape when autumn comes, the trees of a maple, a gingko and a dough done color around the house, and which wishes for the house on a thatched roof and colored leaves, indeed, "autumn in Satoyama". When taking a walk through an esplanade freely, it'll be to be invited to nostalgia.

The "forest park of" a Lake Sai wild bird circled by Aokigahara Jukai is as the name suggests and a treasury of a wild bird. The coming of the other wild birds as much as 150 kinds by which about 60 kinds of wild birds live in the park a varied titmouse, a bunting and a white-eye is confirmed. There is a bird watching office" which had a telescope in a dense woodland gallery in the park, and even if it's visited empty-handed, it's charm that birdwatching can be done casually.
Vast lawn square and forest promenade in the park are the place by the relaxation where cityscape in each season can be enjoyed. When autumn comes, a maple, a white birch, a mountain ash and Japanese enkianthus turn red, and the taste in which Mt. Fuji appears can wish for abundant cityscape in the inside.
