Captured the perfect life photo at Mount Fuji! This spot is my favorite

🇯🇵9-day Japan trip from Tokyo to Osaka, with 2 full days dedicated to Mount Fuji🗻 - absolutely photogenic! Crystal-clear visibility with extra-thick snow cap!!! Comfortable seating throughout the journey, and super convenient from Tokyo👌 2-day itinerary: See images 16-17 Simplified Mount Fuji map: See image 18 Photo spots recommendation: 🌈Lake Yamanaka 1⃣️ Hirano Beach, images 1-4 (my top pick! Even more stunning in person) Accessible by bus, great for photos! Features swans and inverted Fuji reflections. Look for the small ditch + pebble path on the right side (best in morning light, sunrise offers legendary red Fuji views) 2⃣️ Nagai Ike Shinsui Park, image 5 Scenic lakeside walk with continuous Fuji views. Near the viral soufflé restaurant The Park (that famous photo spot😂), but outdoor seating had 1hr+ wait so we skipped. 🌈Lake Kawaguchi 1⃣️ Lawson convenience store, image 6 Closest to Kawaguchiko Station - the most crowded spot. Best shots from across the street (timing needed for crowd-free photos) 2⃣️ Shimoyoshida Station, image 7 Afternoon backlight at Hikawa Clock Shop requires telephoto (phone won't suffice). Shot taken on parallel street. Not highly recommended. 3⃣️ Maple Corridor, image 8 Opposite Kawaguchiko Station (bus required). Outer leaves were red on 11/23 but we arrived too late for good shots (check Xiaohongshu for better examples) 4⃣️ Lakeside spots, images 12-14 Near Kawaguchiko cruise pier & bus stop for Maple Corridor Bonus shots: 1⃣️ Tokyo→Shimoyoshida/Kawaguchiko train, image 9 2⃣️ Kawaguchiko Station, images 10-11 3⃣️ Mishima Shinkansen Station, image 15 👉Note: Buses around Kawaguchiko/Yamanaka have long intervals (last departures ~5pm, except 7pm from Kawaguchiko→Yamanaka). Watch schedules closely - traffic delays are common. 👉Tokyo→Fuji→Kyoto/Osaka route tip: Day 1 explore Kawaguchiko, stay near Yamanaka; Day 2 visit Yamanaka, then take Shinkansen from Mishima Station🚄
