Fuji Five Lakes & Heritage

This region centers on Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage site recognized for its cultural and spiritual significance. The Fuji Five Lakes—Kawaguchi, Yamanaka, Saiko, Shōji, and Motosu—offer distinct views of the volcano and vary in depth and clarity. Historically, the area served as a major pilgrimage route, evidenced by the Sengen shrines like Kitaguchi-hongu, where climbers traditionally began their ascent. The list also includes Oshino Hakkai, a set of eight ponds supplied by snowmelt filtered through volcanic rock layers over several decades.
