MOUNT FUJI / LAKE YAMANAKAYamanashi

The view of Japan’s iconic mountain rising beyond Lake Yamanaka’s waters draws photography buffs from around the country. And despite its proximity to Tokyo, this long-established resort area also offers peaceful meanders through woods and around shrines, scenic villages and quietly artful places like the Itchiku Kubota Museum, featuring the singular works of the late textile artist. Fans of Yukio Mishima will want to visit the literary museum exhibiting his letters and published writings on the lake’s south shore. Still more Fuji views can be had at one of Yamanashi’s many U-pick berry and fruit farms. After all of the fresh air, tuck into a delicious bowl of steaming hoto noodles cooked in miso broth, a regional specialty.
