weather fine
distance 103km


It takes 100 km to go and come back. in one round trip.
If you run on a bicycle, you can come back in about 7 hours.
The problem is the weather.I picked the sunny day and tried around.
0611
I came running Route 246, this time. It took 2 hours and 10 minutes.
I arrive at Mikuni Pass at 6 o'clock. Lake Yamanaka, Mt. Fuji can be seen well. Today the weather looks good. And it was a forecast that it will be warm.
Mt. Fuji Best View Point is full of cars.
There were a lot of people who already had a camera.
0631
I park my car at the Nagaike parking lot and leave from here.
I am looking at the altitude of Fuji Goko.
What I would like to pay attention to is that the height of the lake surface of West Lake, Shoujiko Lake,Motosu Lake is the same.
The difference in elevation of the lake surface between West Lake and Kawaguchiko is greater than I thought.
Lake Yamanaka is in a very high place.
I do not feel it almost when I run by car, but I think that I can feel it with my bicycle when I ride it.I am going to run from now.
0644
I leave Yamanakako and run to Kawaguchi lake first. After that, run to West Lake, Shouji Lake, Lake Motosu, and come back, finally go around Yamanakako and finish.

I am masking because my ears are cold and my face is cold.

The altitude of Lake Yamanaka is 980 m. Because Kawaguchiko is 830 meters. It goes down considerably. There is a distance, so I do not feel that much.
0658
Here is the place of the Shibokusa.Current ambient temperature 0 degree C.I do not feel anything by car, but it's a downhill road.I am feeling downhill because I am a bicycle.
0714
This is Fujiyoshida City Jouyado.There are many cars.
0735
Lake Kawaguchiko lakeside, Funatsu three-way road(船津三差路).When I enter the town, the car does not run at all.
0737
Kawaguchi lake pleasure boat.You can see the big-bridge.
0744
Fukuzumi(富久澄) campsite located in front of Ubuyagasaki(産屋ケ先)
Kawaguchiko Ohashi.
This picture was taken from near the Shin Misaka Tunnel.
0750
Kawaguchiko Ohashi.
I will cross this bridge twice today.It goes in the same direction twice.
0756
I'm going to the West Lake by running on the south coast of Lake Kawaguchi.Why do I run on the southern shore of sun?.
That's because I want to cross the Kawaguchiko Ohashi from north to south.I want to cross the bridge toward Mt. Fuji.
I will run Kawaguchiko in the shape of 8.
In the shape of 8 the movement of the middle joint will be in the same direction.
Today I will cross the Ohashi twice in the same direction.
0804
I am running on the south coast of Kawaguchiko now.
The mountains you see are Kenashiyama(毛無山), Juunigatake(十二ケ岳), Onigatake(鬼が岳).
0819
The altitude of Lake Kawaguchi is 830 m.
It is said that West Lake, Shouji Lake and Lake Motosu are connected underground.
The altitude is 900 m in the same way.
Kawaguchi lake is about 70 m lower than West Lake.

I do not quite understand it in the photo, but it is quite uphill.There is a tunnel and it is Saiko.The place where I left the tunnel is Saiko.
0833
I reached Saiko.I omitted the picture of the tunnel.I am running on the north bank of Saiko.This time it is the direction of the sun.Mt. Omuroyama is visible in the center.
0836
It is the morning scenery of a campsite on the lake.
I want to do such an autocamp.
The good thing about IndianTeepee is that you can use fire inside.
It was cold last night.When we burn the fire inside, we will open the curtain of the tomb.
How to open will move the stick a little.
0839
It is quite difficult to see Mt. Fuji from the Saiko.
It is because there is Mt. Ashiwada.
We can only see this.
0903
I am running a sidewalk now, but the road surface is frozen.I am likely to skid side because the tire is thin.
The lake elevation of Saiko, Shoujiko,Motosuko is the same.
0905
I will go down a lot like this.
0907
We can see Shoujiko far below.
This is a place called Akaike, and it is said to be the place where the sixth lake can be formed when rainfall has fallen.It will be out of the definition of the lake, so it will not be the sixth lake.It is a temporary pond.

It is hard to imagine that Shoujiko and the Saiko above are at the same elevation.
However, it seems like I came up a lot of slopes from Saiko to National Route 139.
0912
And Shoujiko.
0914
Scenery is beautifully reflected on the lake surface.
0920
Mt. Fuji seen from Shoujiko is visible behind Mt.Omuro.
0925
Mt. Fuji anf Mt.Omuro.
0932
0937
Then I will run National Route 139.
There is a place where Mt.Fuji looks bigger on the way.
It is hard to take in the picture.
Because the difference in illuminance between Mt. Fuji and the forest is too large.
0942
I arrived at Lake Motosu.
0944
I will run counterclockwise around Lake Motosu.
0949
0953
It is around here that Mt.Fuji can be seen most beautifully.
The forest spreading in front of Mt.Fuji is Aokigahara Jukai.
Today the weather is nice, but Mt.Fuji is not upside down on the lake.
N35.28.28 E138.34.47


There is an observatory under the Omuroyama. The bottom picture is what I saw from there.
I have just seen Lake Motosu from theOomuroyama-nishi observation deck.
0954
0956
Lake Motosu spans Kawaguchiko-town and Minobu-town.From here it is Minobu-town.
0959
Therefore, the place where the observatory is located is Minobu Town.
1000
About the view of Mt.Fuji from here.
Omuroyama shifted to the left, but the hem of Ryuga-dake is disturbing a bit.
1003
1005
The visible mountain is a Ryuugatake.
1006
I run in the landscape of beautiful autumn leaves.It is warm today.
1008
It is comfortable for me to go home as long as I come here.
1013
The water of Lake Motosu is beautiful.
It is crystal clear and you can see the bottom stone.
1013
You see Aokigahara Jukai.
1013
1020
I will run on a narrow street on the south coast where no sunshine will come.
1023
I finished bicycling the lake.
1024
1024
1040
I will head toward Lake-Shouji from Lake-Motosu.
1044
Since there is no road on the south shore of Lake Shoji, it goes through National Route 139.
This is the road running in the middle of the Aokigahara-Jukai.
1102
I will go up the slope of Akaike.
It is a sunken land on this right side called Akaike.
It is a small pond that can be done when raindrops rain.
1111
I am going down to the Saiko here.
1121
I will go through the south coast of Saiko.
1131
Campground Koyodai.
1138
I look back and say goodbye to Saiko.You can see Omuroyama and Aokigahara-Jukai.
The mountains that can be seen in the distance are Kenashiyama, Amagatake.
1139
Water channel of TEPCO's West Lake Power Station.
The fact that there is a power station means that there is such a head difference.
The difference in elevation between the lake surface of Saiko and the lake surface of Kawaguchiko is 70 m.
1145
From the Saiko pass, pass through the tunnel and come down to Kawaguchiko.
1153
1155
1201
I lost my front carrier screws, so I can not use it, and I carry a backpack.
1218
I will cross the Kawaguchiko Bridge again.
1219
1234
1237
1246
1256
1302
It was hot so I took off my jacket.
1316
The current temperature is 17 degrees.
1331
I reached Lake Yamanaka.
I do not feel like I went up so much, but here is the highest altitude in the five lakes.
It is 150 m higher than Lake Kawaguchi.
1333
I arrived at Lake Yamanaka. I am looking towards Yamabushi Pass.
Lake Yamanakaki is the shallowest in Fuji Goko. It is about 13 m.
In comparison, Lake Motosu is about 122 m.
1341
I turn around the lake counterclockwise and return to the original parking lot.
1350
Here is a parting road to Kagasaka Pass籠坂峠
1406
Here are two road to go to Mikuni Pass三国峠, Yamabushi Pass山伏峠.
1415
The pedestrian and the bicycle path are flat and along the lake side.
1416
It is a sidewalk along the lake that runs toward Mt.Fuji, a bike path.
I came here and noticed that a spare tube was not in the backpack.The cause is because I changed the backpack that I bring today.
I was attaching only air pumps and tools to my bicycle.
1425
I have arrived. I'm putting a car at Nagaike Water Park長池親水公園.
