Hi everyone!
I’m currently around Lake Kawaguchi / Mount Fuji and I’m looking for recommendations besides the super touristy spots.

I’d love to know:
best photo spots for Mt. Fuji
hidden/local places
viewpoints at sunrise or sunset
cafés with a nice Fuji view
quiet areas around the lake
abandoned/atmospheric places
cool shrines or temples nearby
best night spots / star photography
places worth visiting in bad weather too
I’m also into architecture, photography and more atmospheric locations rather than only crowded tourist attractions.

Already considering places like:
Chureito Pagoda
Oishi Park
Shimoyoshida
Saiko / Iyashi no Sato

But I’d really appreciate lesser-known recommendations 🙏

Thanks!
