This live camera looks out over Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji Five Lakes on the northern slopes of Mount Fuji. It is a practical way to check how the lake and the mountain look before you travel, or simply to enjoy a calm view from afar.
Lake Yamanaka sits at roughly 989 metres above sea level in Yamanashi's Fuji area, although the camera itself is listed in Shizuoka Prefecture. It is the highest of the Fuji Five Lakes and is valued for its quiet shoreline, forest and the view toward Mount Fuji. The area has long been a retreat for hikers and anglers, and its atmosphere changes noticeably with the seasons.
The live feed is most rewarding when the air is clear, since Mount Fuji is often hidden by cloud or haze. Early mornings tend to offer the calmest water and the best chance of a clear summit. Autumn brings strong foliage colours around the lake, while winter can be cold and crisp. Check the current weather block on this page before expecting a clear mountain view.
Winters are cold and snow is common, while summers are cooler than the lowlands and make the lake popular for escape from heat. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons. Nearby cameras on this site cover Yamanaka, Oyama and Fujikawaguchiko, which help you compare conditions across the Fuji Five Lakes region.

The current conditions and a 3-day forecast are shown in the weather block on this page. Lake Yamanaka is high in the mountains, so it can be noticeably colder than cities at lower elevation.
The local time for the camera location in Japan is displayed on this page, updated in real time. Japan uses a single time zone, so it is the same as Tokyo.
The camera overlooks Lake Yamanaka in the Fuji area of central Japan, at about 989 metres altitude. The map on this page shows its exact position on the northern side of Mount Fuji.
Early morning and clear autumn days are usually the most rewarding, when the lake is calm and Mount Fuji is more likely to be visible. Check the weather block first, as cloud often hides the mountain.
