Koan Campsite is a popular campsite located in Motosu, Fujikawaguchiko-cho, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture. The biggest attraction of this campsite is the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Motosu, the symbols of Japan. The moment the sun rises is particularly special, and the sight of Mt. Fuji dyed crimson is breathtakingly beautiful.
Lake Motosu is known as one of the clearest lakes in Japan, reflecting the surrounding nature like a mirror. Camping by the lakeside in a tent will relax you in a tranquil environment, surrounded by the sound of the waves crashing on the water's surface.
It is also known as a place that holds a special meaning among anime fans, as it was an important setting in the first episode of the famous outdoor anime "Laid-Back Camp," making it a "holy place" visited by many fans.
