Lake Motosuko Campground in Photos

Majestic view of Mt Fuji makes camping much sweeter

Kanagawa contributor, Nathan Hoernig, wrote an article on "Camping at Motosuko Lake & Mt. Fuji" in 2012. Between his story and the recommendation of our local MWR Outdoor Recreation Center on base, we decided to set a date for our first camping trip in Japan! Nathan covered everything spot on, but as a female I just wanted to add a few more things: 1) Shared restroom facilities are immaculate. No shower stalls, but they’re equipped with clean toilets, sinks and mirrors. 2) Campground store carries basic camp supplies such as gas cylinders, candy, liquor, beer, ice, and firewood. So, load up your vehicle and coolers in advance and be prepared to pay for items in cash onsite. 3) Bring your soap and sponges if you need to clean anything. Large community sinks are available throughout the site. 4) Is there wildlife? Our group encountered a visit from a fox, but the little guy didn’t do any harm. It walked away after sniffing around. You’ll want to secure food and beverage up tightly.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience especially after stargazing at the lake and waking up to the majestic Mt. Fuji. Be sure to visit the north shore of Lake Motosuko to admire the same sight of Mt. Fuji as it is designed and printed on the 1,000yen bill!
