The second largest of the five lakes at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi is well developed for tourists. A convenient tourist bus goes around the lake and neighboring lakes. Scenic in autumn.

Aokigahara Forest is on the northwestern foot/slope of Mt. Fuji. This forest is also known as "Suicide Forest" since some people have committed suicide in Aokigahara. But apparently not in the part of the forest we hiked in. Our guides assured us that we wouldn't see any bodies...(and we didn't.)

Yamanakako 山中湖村Pictures of Yamanakako village including Lake Yamanaka.
Lake Yamanaka is the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes near Mt. Fuji. It's not as touristy as Lake Kawaguchi, but there are many vacation lodging owned by universities and companies. Views of Mt. Fuji are beautiful in fall and winter. There's a good bicycling path around the lake. The road around Lake Yamanaka will also be part of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic cycling road race course from Tokyo to Fuji Speedway.
