Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖) offers spectacular and unobstructed views of Mount Fuji, and the cherry trees on the north shore make it to one of the area's prime cherry blossoms viewing spots in April. Get out there early in the morning, that's when the chances of having a clear view of Mount Fuji are greatest. The best spot lies around the Retro Bus bus stop No. 17.

The classic view: Mount Fuji through the cherry blossoms

The pink blossoms offer a very nice contrast to the snow covered mountain top

As if the snow had just fallen over night—it looks so fresh and clean

It's a popular spot; however, there's enough space for everybody

There's a walking trail around the lake, which makes it an easy stroll with great views non-stop
