Lake Motosu

(Source : pixta)
Lake Motosu (Motosuko) boasts a maximum depth of 122 meters and is the deepest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Its sapphire blue water is very clear, so visitors can enjoy scuba diving. It has a rich water source, and it is home to various fish, such as red salmon and rainbow trout. You can observe those fish from the bottom of a cruise boat that was inspired by the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. The beautiful scenery from the north shore of Lake Motosu is well known as a Mt. Fuji viewing spot. Our 1,000 yen note is designed with this view.

The view of Mt. Fuji from Lake Motosu is glorious. On an early winter morning, beautiful upside-down Mt. Fuji can be seen. As a matter of fact, the image of Mt. Fuji from the north shore of Lake Motosu appears on the back side of our 1,000 yen bill. You will see the resemblance when you put the bill side by side with Mt. Fuji.
