    河口湖畔をお散歩していると、自然と河口湖七福神めぐりが出来るような感じになっています。七福神のうちの弁財天は、唯一女性の神様。河口湖音楽と森の美術館の裏手、というか、湖側にいらっしゃいます。調べたら、綾小路きみまろさんが寄贈されたんですね。

    Located at an elevation of 900 meters, Lake Shojiko Is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes at only 0.5 square kilometers, but its surface is such a beautiful clear blue that during the Meiji period, it was touted overseas as the Switzerland of East Asia. Due to the frequently occurring upside down reflection of Mt. Fuji in its waters and the fact that Mt. Fuji appears to be embracing the smaller Mt. Omuro, the sight is sometimes call Fuji hugging its child. This scene makes the lake a popular spot for photographers.

    Yamanashi Prefecture Minamitsuru-gun Fuji Kawaguchiko Town
    Located at an elevation of 900 meters, Lake Saiko is one of the Fuji Five Lakes. At 2.12 square kilometers, it is not very large, but it is deep, about 72 meters, and its intensely blue surface has a mystic beauty. Whether it is azaleas in the spring, verdant greenery in the early summer, colored leaves in the fall, or soft rime in the winter, visitors can enjoy scenic beauty in every season, and the lake is a favorite spot for water activities. In 2010, kunimasu (local salmon), believed to live only Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture, were found in Lake Saiko for the first time in 70 years, a discovery that made news headlines.

The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
