[ Driving Japan ] Go to Mount Fuji and the lakes around it. Enjoy the Mt. Fuji every angle.　富士山ドライブ

富士山　一周　富士五湖　春　ドライブ　　 Go around Mt.Fuji while visiting the 5 surrounding lakes. (circuit road 100km) Mount Fuji looks symmetrical, but its shape changes depending on the viewing direction. Young leaves are sprouting from the trees at the foot of the mountain, and the temperature in the city exceeds 30 degrees, but there is still a lot of snow on Mt. Fuji. Mt.Fuji is 100km from the city center and takes about 2 hours. Climbing takes a bus to the 5th Station (under the snow) and takes about 6 hours to reach the summit. There is no snow in July and August, so you can enjoy it without worry. There are five lakes on the north side (Yamanashi Prefecture, mountain side), and tourism is popular. Dairy farming is thriving on the south side (sea side of Shizuoka Prefecture), and there are many grasslands and auto-camping grounds, and music festivals are also held.
