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.
