If you’re planning a trip to the Fuji Five Lakes area—such as Lake Kawaguchiko or Fujiyoshida—you’ve probably seen the iconic photo of Mt. Fuji perfectly framed behind a Lawson convenience store.
As a local living in Fujiyoshida, I often see tourists get confused because there isn’t just one Lawson. In fact, there are two popular ones near Kawaguchiko Station.
If you want the best photo spot and overall experience, here’s the one I recommend.
Most travelers don’t realize that there are two specific Lawson locations people talk about. Both are near Kawaguchiko Station, but they offer very different experiences.
1. Lawson Kawaguchiko Station (The Crowded One)
This Lawson is the one closest to Kawaguchiko Station, so it’s almost always packed.
Getting a clean photo is tough. There are usually lots of other tourists around, and traffic here can be pretty busy.
