February
Winter is said to be the season when Mt. Fuji looks most beautiful. Especially in the morning, the surface of the lake is quiet, and I think it's a world of only myself and Mt. Fuji.
It's a cold season, but on 2/23, when you can feel Mt. Fuji closest to you, we hold a pun (2 (fu), 2 (ji), 3 (san)).
Fireworks will be launched to commemorate the day of Mt. Fuji.

The most enjoyable thing about Fujikawaguchiko in winter is Mt. Fuji, which you can see from the hot springs and baths.
Mt. Fuji, which you can see up close beyond the steam, is a luxurious view unique to Lake Kawaguchiko.
Also, because the air is clear in winter, it is said that you can see Mt. Fuji beautifully.
If you are lucky, you may be able to see Mt. Fuji upside down.
