About this place
Lake Kawaguchiko is the northernmost of the Fuji Five Lakes, in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi, with the longest shoreline of the five. It was the first of the lakes to be developed for tourism, and its shores now hold hotels, an onsen district on the east side, sightseeing boats and the Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. The mapcode on this page points at the sightseeing boat pier in Funatsu, on the lake’s south-east shore.
If you are heading for another part of the lake, set your navigation to that shore instead; the lake is about 19 km round, so the wrong side means a long drive. Kawaguchiko IC on the Chuo Expressway is the main approach, and Routes 137 and 139 also lead to the lake.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Lake Kawaguchiko?
- The mapcode is 161 302 084*26, pointing at a spot in 山梨県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 35.503988, 138.770226. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
