Our Voyage accounts of Lake Kawaguchi

Lake Kawaguchiko (河口湖, Kawaguchi-ko ) is the most popular and easily accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes surrounding the northern base of Japan’s majestic Mount Fuji. Renowned for offering some of the most breathtaking and classic views of the sacred mountain, the lake and its surrounding town serve as a vibrant hub for tourists, nature lovers, and photographers alike, situated at Fujikawaguchiko, Minamimitsuru district, Yamanashi Prefecture, is 120 km away from Tokyo.

5 Local Guides Voyage Account of Mt. Fuji( Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

While Mount Fuji is the overwhelmingly dominant and iconic mountain near Lake Kawaguchiko, there are several other mountains that form the immediate landscape and offer spectacular views of the lake and Fuji-san itself. Mount Tenjo (天上山, Tenjō-yama ) directly adjacent to the eastern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko. It is easily accessible via the Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway (also known as the Kachi Kachi Yama Ropeway). p-77


Mount Mitsutoge (三ッ峠山, Mitsutōge-yama ) is Located further north-east of Lake Kawaguchiko, this mountain is famous among hikers. The name Mitsutoge is a collective name for three peaks: Mount Kaiun (開運山), Mount Kinashi (木無山), and Mount Osutaka (大鯻山). Mount Kurodake (黒岳, Kurodake) is located to the north-west of Lake Kawaguchiko and is a part of the Misaka Mountains. It is often included in local hiking routes.

The creation of Lake Kawaguchiko is directly tied to the powerful and long-running volcanic activity of Mount Fuji. It is estimated to have originated at least 50,000 to 60,000 years ago (during the late Pleistocene epoch). Its basin was first impounded by volcanic materials around 20,000 years ago. The lake achieved its approximate current shape around 10,000 years ago , following significant eruptions and lava flows that shaped the landscape. Lake Kawaguchiko is a classic example of a barrier lake (or dammed lake) formed by volcanic activity.

The key mechanism was the accumulation of volcanic debris, solidified magma, and lava flows spewed out from Mount Fuji and nearby volcanic outlets. These massive amounts of material flowed down the mountain slopes, blocking the natural flow of ancient river valleys in the northern foothills. The water was then trapped behind these natural volcanic dams, gradually filling the blocked valley to form the lake we see today. The lake’s water comes primarily from underground springs and rainfall, rather than major surface rivers, due to the highly porous nature of the volcanic rock and lava that constitutes the surrounding area.


We reached the lake at 2 pm. For lunch, we brought home-cooked mutton biryani, kebab, salad, semai. We stopped the car at the park next to the lake and enjoyed our lunch. Then we went to the lake, sitting by the lake in the beautiful, cool environment was also a pleasure. We enjoyed it a lot.
