Lake Tanuki, Inokashira, Fujinomiya, Shizuoka 418-0108 Japan 📍Lake Tanuki This is one of the most beautiful sceneries I've ever seen in my life. It is Lake Tanuki located in Shizuoka, Japan! If the weather is good, you can take pictures with the lake and Mount Fuji in the background, and there is also a walking trail around the lake which is nice. You can also see locals fishing and ducks swimming around, which adds to the charm. I highly recommend visiting this place at least once in your life. It's a must-visit spot.

#glamping #100waystotravel As most people know, the Fuji Five Lakes are famous places to admire Mount Fuji, especially Lake Kawaguchi. Little do people know that there is a hidden secret place in Shizuoka Prefecture to enjoy the river view of Mount Fuji, which is #Tanukikoe located in Fujinomiya City, on the Asagiri Plateau at the western foot of Mount Fuji. If you are lucky, you can not only see the Upside-down Fuji and the Red Fuji at Lake Tanuki, but also the Diamond Fuji for a week around April 20 and August 20 every year. If you want to fully enjoy the beauty of Lake Tanuki, it is best to stay overnight. There are two best accommodation recommendations: one is to stay at the resort village Kyukamura Fuji, which claims to have a view of Mount Fuji from every room and has the Mount Fuji Grace Hot Spring; the other is to camp at the #Tanukiko Campground, which is as comfortable as a park, by the water at the foot of Mount Fuji. As the campsite is right on the shore of Lake Tanuki, it is rich in natural ecology and the view is incredibly beautiful with green grass, undulating meadows on the high ground, and the majestic Mount Fuji as the backdrop. However, Tanukiko Campground only accepts Nappu online reservations, and reservations for the next month are open at 10:00 on the 1st of each month. During peak seasons and holidays, an additional ¥1,000 per night is charged, and it is difficult to get a spot, so it is extremely popular. In addition to camping, Lake Tanuki also offers many outdoor activities that allow people to get closer to the beautiful mountains and waters under Mount Fuji, such as boating, cycling, fishing, etc. It is really a good place to relax. #Fuji #Lake Tanuki #Shizuoka #Camping #glamping #100 Ways to Travel

Review of Lake Tanuki – Where the Reflection of Mount Fuji Clears Your Mind 🗻🌊🌅 If you’ve ever thought that Lake Kawaguchiko is the best place to view Mount Fuji, try visiting Lake Tanuki once, and you’ll realize that quieter spots can evoke deeper feelings. Lake Tanuki is located in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, not far from Fuji Safari Park. However, it offers a completely different vibe. Here, you’ll find "pure tranquility." There aren’t many cafes or paddle boats, just unspoiled nature and Mount Fuji standing majestically in front of you, perfectly centered in the frame. 💧 What makes this place stand out is the symmetrical reflection of Mount Fuji on the water, especially in the morning when the water is calm like a mirror and sunlight illuminates the mountain peak. This creates the "Diamond Fuji" phenomenon, where the peak glimmers like a diamond—a simple yet profoundly powerful image. 👣 Surrounding the lake is a small walking path stretching about 4 kilometers, ideal for leisurely strolls, light jogging, or cycling while enjoying the scenery. It’s a perfect place to spend quiet time with yourself and nature without rushing. 🏕️ For camping enthusiasts, there’s a lakeside camping area that’s popular among Japanese nature lovers, especially during spring and autumn when the weather is pleasantly cool. Imagine stargazing at night and waking up to a stunning view of Mount Fuji—it’s an experience money can’t buy. ✨ Tanuki isn’t a famous tourist spot, but it’s a place where you can immerse yourself in serene beauty without distractions—no engine noise, just cool breezes, birdsong, and the mountain’s reflection in the water. P.S. Renting a car is recommended so you can take your time and wait for the sunset, which is truly worth it.

Tanuki Lake, located in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, is one of the hidden gems where you can enjoy the most stunning views of Mount Fuji. It's highly recommended for those who prefer tranquil nature over bustling tourist spots. On the day I visited, the weather was clear, the lake was calm, and Mount Fuji stood vividly in the background, creating a picturesque scene that resembled a watercolor painting. The reflection of Mount Fuji, known as "Sakasa Fuji" (Upside-down Fuji), was perfectly visible on the lake's surface, and the beauty was so breathtaking that it left me speechless. It's a view that cannot be fully captured in photos—you have to see it with your own eyes. The walking trail around the lake is flat and easy to stroll along. As you walk leisurely, you'll be surrounded by the sounds of birds, the breeze, and the gentle ripples of the water, making it a truly healing experience. There are benches along the way for resting, and the well-equipped camping grounds make it a popular spot for families and couples. Since the area isn't crowded, it's an ideal place to spend quiet moments. Sipping coffee with Mount Fuji as the backdrop in such serene surroundings became an unforgettable memory for me. Location Information • Tanuki Lake (田貫湖): Saori, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture Approximately 40 minutes by bus from Fujinomiya Station; renting a car is recommended.

Lake Tanuki is a charming spot with a quiet and cozy atmosphere. Although it's near Mount Fuji, it’s not a crowded tourist destination, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. The reflection of the sky and surrounding trees on the clear lake felt like a work of art, and walking while listening to the gentle sound of rippling water was incredibly soothing. There are small benches around the lake where you can sit and relax, and there are plenty of great spots for taking photos. If you want to fully immerse yourself in nature without the noise and crowds, Lake Tanuki is highly recommended. And if you’re lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji subtly reflected on the tranquil lake, it would truly be a special day.

#cherryblossom25 At the base of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka's Fujinomiya City, Tanuki-ko Lake offers one of Japan's most photogenic sakura compositions. Each early April, 300 Somei Yoshino trees bloom along the shore, their reflections joining Fuji's upside-down image on the mirror-like surface—a "double inversion" scene photographers dream of capturing. 📷 Top 3 Photo Ops 1. North Shore Observatory - The holy trinity: blossoms + Fuji + water reflection 2. Lakeside Cycling Path - Pedal through sakura tunnels with Fuji as your constant companion 3. Diamond Fuji Sunrise - Sun perfectly crowns Fuji at dawn, gilding the cherry blossoms

That was a good experience! Good view of Fuji mountain.

Isn't the view of Tanuki Lake really amazing? I wish everyone could go there... I'm so touched ㅠㅠ If you take pictures at the photo spot, the pictures come out so well!!

📍Mt. Fuji and Fujinomiya Yakisoba as seen from Lake Tanuki Lake Tanuki is located in a corner of the vast Asagiri Plateau, and commands a full view of Mt. Fuji to the east. The lake is 1km east to west, 0.5km north to south, and 3.3km in circumference, reflecting not only the sacred Mt. Fuji, but also the legendary Mt. Tenshigatake, making it a truly mystical lake. In addition to cherry blossoms and various azaleas on the lakeside, broadleaf forests spread out on the north side, and from the cherry blossoms in spring to the autumn leaves, a beautiful landscape unfolds against the backdrop of the majestic Mt. Fuji. It is the perfect place for camping, boating, and hiking in a blessed environment. It is also famous nationwide as a mecca for crucian carp fishing. For about a week around April 20th and August 20th, the sun rises from the top of Mt. Fuji, and you can see the shining Diamond Fuji. 　　 #Free hotel stay

#SoloTravelPlan Today I will share how to travel to Lake Tanuki and Shiraito Falls in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture as a day trip by bus. It is easy and very convenient to travel. The bus arrives exactly on time. 📍We bought a 2 Days Free bus pass ticket for 1,850 yen (Shiraito Falls & Lake Tanuki Local Bus Ticket). The ticket office is under the overpass where we exited Fujinomiya Station. The seller gave good advice, telling us to buy the pass because it is cheaper than using an IC card. We also got a bus schedule and a brochure recommending places to visit. 📍Walk to wait at platform 2, Nyoraiji-iriguchi stop. 📍The first place we got off was Shiraito Falls, getting off at Shiraito no Taki stop. The entrance fee is 500 yen. It takes about 3-5 minutes to walk to the waterfall. On the day we went, it was raining and the fog was so thick that we could barely see the waterfall. We spent about 40 minutes there, and then we came back to wait for the bus 5 minutes before the scheduled time. The bus arrived on time. 📍Then we continued to Lake Tanuki. Take the bus and get off at Tanuki-ko bus stop. Walk a little bit more and you will reach the entrance of Lake Tanuki. The atmosphere is nice, the sky is cloudy and rainy, but it does not rain. The air is fresh, but Fuji is very shy and only comes out to see a little bit. 📍On the way back, come out and wait at the bus stop as usual. The bus is on time. Take the bus back to Fujinimiya Station. 📍When you want to get on the bus, show the pass you bought to the driver. 📍There will be a screen on the bus showing the bus stop and the price. If anyone wants to pay in cash or tap an IC card. 📍Or if anyone is more convenient to go to Lake Tanuki first, you can stop by Shiraito Falls on the way back. #Travel plan giveaway #tanukilake #shiraitofalls #fujinomiya #shizuoka⁡ #Travel in Japan

Tanuki Lake is a lake with a very nice atmosphere. The day I went, I woke up to find it raining. Actually, it rained all night, but when I got there, it didn't rain. It was just cloudy and very cloudy. Fuji is as you can see. It's a little bit open, just enough to give you the energy to walk. There are hotels, tent sites, and bicycles for rent. Walk along the path along the lake until you reach the point where they fish. If the sky is clear, you will definitely see the huge Mt. Fuji. Travel by public bus. The bus is on time, but there may be fewer buses, so you have to check the time carefully. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Tanukilake #tokyotrip

Lake Tanuki, the weather is very good, beautiful even if you don't get to see Mr. Fuji. Traveling from Fujinomiya City, buy a pass ticket that can travel to both Shiraito Falls and Lake Tanuki for 2 days, round trip. Traveling is very easy, the bus goes directly to the place. But there may be few buses, so you have to look at the time carefully. At first, I was worried because most people rent a car to drive. At Lake Tanuki, there are hotels, tents, and bicycles for rent. If the sky is clear, you will probably see the very large Mount Fuji. #Lake Tanuki

I went to #Tanuki Lake in #Fujinomiya City, #Shizuoka Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ I left at 2am in the morning to make it in time for sunrise ε٩(๑>ω<)۶з When I arrived, it was starting to get bright, but thanks to Mt. Fuji, the sun hadn't risen yet, so I arrived with plenty of time (｀･ω･)b Mt.

Mount Fuji, the most famous mountain in Japan, is a popular destination for many tourists.

If you go to Fujinomiya, there are two must-see spots! They are Tanukiko Lake and Shiraito Falls. The best way to visit these two places is to buy a Fujinomiya Bus Pass, which allows you to visit both places for less than the cost of a round trip! There are buses that leave from Fujinomiya Station and stop by both Tanukiko Lake and Shiraito Falls every hour or two, so if you check the bus schedule and plan your schedule accordingly, you can see all the beautiful scenery in half a day. It would be great to leave early in the morning, finish seeing both places, and then get off at Yakisoba Street for lunch! #Fujinomiya #Tanukiko Lake #Shiraito Falls

Fuji, definitely come to Tanukiko :) #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTravel #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #Mt.Fuji

#Tokyo Attractions The water of Lake Tanuki is clear and emerald green, surrounded by lush greenery. We rented a boat and cruised on the lake, feeling the breeze and the rippling water. The scenery by the lake is picturesque, with the mountains reflected on the lake, which is breathtakingly beautiful. There is a quiet lawn by the lake, enjoying the gift of nature. There is also a trail in the lake area that goes around the lake, allowing me to appreciate the lake and mountains from a closer distance. There are various wildlife such as birds and small animals on the trail, which adds a sense of fun and surprise. Lake Tanuki not only provides beautiful scenery, but is also a great place for leisure and entertainment, where you can feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. This lake brings me peace and tranquility and is a natural haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
