The inverted image of Mt. Fuji reflected in Lake Ashi

The image of Mt. Fuji reflected in the waters of Lake Ashi (Ashi-no-ko) is known as “Sakasa-Fuji” (“Inverted Mt. Fuji”) in Japanese, and is renowned as one of the most beautiful views of Mt. Fuji. When the conditions are just right (in the early morning, when there are no tourist boats etc. out on the Lake, and when the wind is not too strong), the crystal-clear water functions as a mirror, reflecting the mirror-image of Mt. Fuji. Whether you will be able to see the reflected image on any given day is a matter of luck.
