Specific Location
Fuji Five Lakes
NaturesLens visits Fuji Five Lakes on small-group wildlife photography holidays in Japan, with time here planned around Black-eared Kite, Ezo Flying Squirrel, Ezo Red Fox, Ezo Red Squirrel and Ezo Sika Deer rather than general sightseeing. Current itineraries using Fuji Five Lakes include Amazing Japanese Wildlife in Winter, with photography shaped around hide, boat-based, flight, night or low-light and landscape and behaviour photography sessions. The Fujigoko region encircling the northern foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, five lakes formed by past eruptions that offer classic reflected views of the volcano across still winter water. Lake Yamanaka is known locally as “Swan Lake”: whooper swans winter here in good numbers directly in front of Mount Fuji, along with other overwintering wildfowl, with the swans-&-volcano combination the defining wildlife image of the area.
