Lake Shōji is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of surface area, and third deepest, with a maximum water depth of 15.2 metres (50 ft).[1] Its surface elevation of 900 metres (3,000 ft) is the same as for Lake Motosu and Lake Sai, confirming that these three lakes were originally a single lake, which was divided by an enormous lava flow from Mount Fuji during an eruption from 864-868 AD.[2] The remnants of the lava flow are now under the Aokigahara Jukai Forest, and there is evidence to indicate that these three lakes remain connected by underground waterways.[1]

The lake is within the borders of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.[3]

As with the other Fuji Five Lakes, the area is a popular resort, with many lakeside hotels, windsurfing facilities, camp sites, and excursion boats. Japanese white crucian carp and wakasagi were introduced to the lake in the Meiji period, and sports fishing is also popular. The water of the lake lacks transparency and has a tendency towards a greenish hue due to algae.

Lake Shōji is given the name "Switzerland of East Asia" because Englishmen in the Meiji Era explored around the base of Mount Fuji, and remarked that the view of the mountain was most beautiful from Lake Shoji. The placid lake is rich in nutrients which include plankton. Here, rental boats are available along the shore to rent.[4]

Le lac Shōji (精進湖, Shōjiko?) est le plus petit des « cinq lacs » (Fujigoko) au Japon[1]. Avec les restes d’une coulée de lave que l’on voit encore, c'est depuis toujours un lieu de tourisme prisé. Les hôtels y ont été construits dès l'ère Meiji, c’est-à-dire vers la fin 1800, et un grand nombre de visiteurs étrangers y sont venus depuis. Le lac Shoji est un lieu célèbre pour la pêche à la carpe herabuna.

Il lago Shōji (精進湖, Shōji-ko) è uno dei cinque laghi situati nella città di Fujikawaguchiko, nella prefettura giapponese di Yamanashi, alle pendici del Fuji. Fa parte del Parco nazionale Fuji-Hakone-Izu.[1] In passato gli esploratori inglesi che esplorarono l'area nell'era Meiji definirono il lago come "Svizzera d'Oriente", ammirando la vista del Monte Fuji all'orizzonte e paragonandola con quella delle Alpi europee.[2]
