Trip to Yamanakako - Fuji five lakes

Here are some details on the five lakes. First, 3 of them, Lakes Saiko, Shoji and Motosu were only one huge lake. They got separated by lava. Something I just learned and could experience a bit after, is the fact that some of them have a big hight difference. The most obvious case is between the Saiko and the Kawaguchiko because of the short distance.

Bien entendu, les photos ne sont pas exceptionnelles.

Nous sommes pres du lac Sai (Saiko). On peut visiter plusieurs caves qui ont ete crees lors de coulees de lave. Celle-ce est habite par des chauve-souris. On n'en voit aucune. Cependant la visite est certes courte mais amusante. Certains passages ne font a peine plus d'un metre de hauteur. En plein ete, c'est agreablement rafraichissant. 300¥ l'entree.

Trip to Yamanakako - Michinoeki

End of the Summer. I went for a long week end to the Yamanaka lake, one of the five Fuji lakes. I took the Doushi road all along to the lake. In the middle, about, the visitor center: Michinoeki (map). A kappa looks over the place.

Michinoeki (=road station?)

Before check in, we drove around the lake and get into the surrounding hills.
Nice observatory spot.
