Lake Shōji is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of surface area, and third deepest, with a maximum water depth of 15.2 metres (50 ft).[1] Its surface elevation of 900 metres (3,000 ft) is the same as for Lake Motosu and Lake Sai, confirming that these three lakes were originally a single lake, which was divided by an enormous lava flow from Mount Fuji during an eruption from 864-868 AD.(Wikipedia)
After two and a half drive from Tokyo, or 30min from Lake Yamanaka, you’ll see the perfect reflection of Mt.Fuji on the Lake if there is no wind and be surrounded by beautiful mountains and nature. As there are some space for parking along the lake, you can take a break with a stunning view.
