Ubuyagasaki

It is the place that can look at Mt.Fuji from under Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge. And it is the symbolic view of Mt.Fuji from Lake Kawaguchiko, often seen in brochures and guidebooks.

This place became famous because of the achievements of photographer Koyo Okada who dedicated his life to Mt.Fuji photography. (He is well known for the photograph of Mt.Fuji on the Japanese one thousand yen bill.) In April 1914, he took a photograph of Mt.Fuji for the first time in Ubuyagasaki. (There was no Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge yet.)

To commemorate the life of Koyo Okada, the bronze relief has been put facing Mt.Fuji in this place that is closely related to him.

And there is an Ubuyagasaki shrine on the cape of Ubuyagasaki. Although it is not so conspicuous from the surroundings, Mt.Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi can be seen widely from the hill. When you stopped by to Ubuyagasaki, why don’t you visit the venerable shrine.

Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge and Mt.Fuji that can be seen from this point has been drawn on the manhole of Ubuyagasaki. However, you can really never see the same scenery!
