Lake Yamanaka (Yamanakako)
Lake Yamanakako.
Yamanaka is the name of a city in Yamanashi prefecture, Japan. The city got its name from two natural landmarks present in the city: the famous mt fuji whose presence is all over the town everywhere you look; and lake yamanaka. Yama is Japanese for mountain, naka - for inside, and ko -for lake. Thus Yamanakako literally means "mountain inside lake" or more appropriately; "lake inside of mountain".
This city is amongst the most popular mt. fuji viewing spots and a member of the fuji five lake areas(fuji-go-ko) of Kawaguchi-ko, Yamanaka-ko, Motosu-ko, Sai-ko and Shoji-ko.
