Kamaguchikyo, Natural gorge near Lake Kawaguchi, Japan
The Kamaguchikyo Gorge stretches along Lake Kawaguchi's eastern section, featuring rock formations and natural pathways with views of Mount Fuji.
The gorge formed through centuries of erosion by water flowing from Lake Kawaguchi, creating deep channels in the volcanic rock from Mount Fuji's ancient eruptions.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices in the gorge's waters, continuing methods passed down through generations of Lake Kawaguchi's fishing communities.
Visitors can access the gorge via a 15-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station, with designated viewing platforms offering photography opportunities throughout the year.
The gorge's position allows winter photographers to capture both the flowing water patterns and snow-covered Mount Fuji in a single frame.
