    LAWSON Kawaguchiko Station

    Just steps away from Kawaguchiko Station, the LAWSON convenience store has become an unexpected but wildly popular travel photography hotspot. This humble blue-and-white store is now considered a “holy place” for Instagrammers and photographers, thanks to its unbeatable backdrop: a perfect, unobstructed view of Mount Fuji rising dramatically behind it. The contrast of the everyday convenience store with Japan’s most iconic natural landmark creates a surreal, almost cinematic street scene that travelers from around the world come to capture. For the best shot, set up your tripod across the street, turn on portrait mode, and patiently wait for a quiet moment with fewer people or cars in frame. Early morning or just before sunset offers the best light and the least foot traffic. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just looking to level up your travel feed, this simple Lawson in Kawaguchiko offers one of the most iconic and share-worthy views of Mount Fuji you’ll ever find.
