Narusawa

Narusawa occupies volcanic ground on Mount Fuji’s northwestern foothills in Yamanashi Prefecture. The village belongs to the Fuji Five Lakes area, where forests and lava formations trace the mountain’s volcanic past. Narusawa Ice Cave is a lava tube formed by Mount Fuji’s major Jōgan eruption in 864; ice persists inside for much of the year. Nearby Aokigahara Forest extends over the ancient lava field at Fuji’s base, giving this highland settlement a markedly different character from Japan’s urban centres. Local farms and open stretches of countryside also form part of the setting beneath the mountain.
