Known as "White Bird Lake," it is a haven for swans, which fly here to breed between February and April despite the harsh cold. Optional hot spring visits are available, allowing you to soak in the hot springs while gazing at Mount Fuji.

On clear days, you can overlook the surrounding scenery, including Kawaguchiko Lake, while on cloudy days, you can enjoy the fantastic sea of clouds.
