If you seek to live in a place filled with nature, scenic views, and free from crowds, the Mt. Fuji area of Yamanashi prefecture is an excellent choice for you.
Of the surrounding areas of Mt. Fuji, Kawaguchiko is one of the most popular areas for buying property, whether it's a vacation home or a place to retire. Kawaguchiko provides many opportunities for both leisure and luxury for those who seek a relaxing life as a resident or visitor from somewhere else in Yamanashi.
Nestled in between the Fuji Five Lakes at the base of Mt. Fuji, there is plenty to do for nature lovers. In the summer time, you can rent or use your own boat to go out on the lakes and enjoy the view or go fishing. In the springtime, the view of the cherry blossoms surrounding Lake Kawaguchi is a site that never gets old. Moreover, the momiji maple leaves are equally as beautiful in the fall. And most of all, one is close to the snow in the winter, providing close access to winter sport opportunities. One can enjoy seasonal beauty year round in Kawaguchiko.
