The Fuji Five Lakes are located at the foot of the Yamanashi Prefecture side of Mount Fuji, and “Fuji Five Lakes” is the collective name for the five lakes of Motosu Lake (Motosuko), Shoji Lake (Shojiko), Saiko Lake (Saiko), Kawaguchi Lake (Kawaguchiko), and Yamanaka Lake (Yamanakako).
All of these lakes are dammed lakes that were created by a Mount Fuji eruption, and are part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
