As the morning progresses, the sun rises ever higher, casting less dramatic shadows on the western face of Mt. Fuji while intensifying the reflection of light off the snow-capped peak.

Lake Tanuki, renowned as an angler’s paradise, offers a plethora of recreational activities. Anglers can indulge in shoreline fishing or rent small fishing boats for leisurely excursions during daylight hours.

During the winter months, the boat rental business remains closed, but from June to November, visitors can rent boats at a rate of ¥1,000 per hour. Rentals are available at the rest house situated on the southern shore of the lake, adjacent to the designated parking lot for Lake Tanuki Campground Guests.

In addition to boating, bicycles for both children and adults can be rented to explore the wide paved path that encircles the lake. This path, ideal for young children and wheelchair users, offers stunning views of the lake and Mt. Fuji.

For those planning a barbecue outing, rental services for barbecue sets, food, and sites are available. This convenient option allows visitors to relish the outdoors without the hassle of bringing their own provisions.

If you're arriving via public transportation, the Lake Tanuki Campground Bus Stop is conveniently located across from the parking lot and rest house. From Fujinomiya Station on the JR Central Minobu Line, board the Fujikyu Shizuoka Bus bound for Kyuka-Mura, and alight at the Lake Tanuki Campground stop (46th stop), approximately 45 minutes away.
