Lake Kawaguchi ( Japanese 河口湖 Kawaguchi-ko ) is one of the Five Fuji Lakes near Mount Fuji in Japan .
It is located near Fujikawaguchiko in Yamanashi Prefecture and is - in terms of the number of tourists - the most famous of the Five Fuji Lakes . It is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park . Since June 22, 2013 it has been part of the Fuji World Heritage Site .
During the climbing season (July and August), Kawaguchiko also serves as an important stopover for climbing Mount Fuji. It lies at an altitude of 831 m, which leads to relatively cool summers and often freezing winters.
Kawaguchiko has overtaken nearby Yamanaka Lake as the most popular region in the area in recent years .
