Japan LAWSON Kawaguchiko Station, Fujikawaguchiko
At first, I didn't understand why the is a line for a picture in front of this LAWSON store. But after quite a few times passing by, it got my attention. I mean, it is a famous typical Japanese mini market with a clear view on this huge iconic mountain in the back.
Photography Tips
Especially for urban / street photography the first hours of the day are worth it here. Nearly no people, great atmosphere and a bit of a 80/90 look. Use a Pro-Mist filter for more glow and grain for an old vintage look.
Travel Information
The Kawaguchiko station is right next to the supermarket. So if you are coming by train this spot is easy reachable.
In my eyes it is worth it to rent a car in this region. You are more flexible for the spots around the lakes and can get more shots at different spots in good light.
