Fuji full frontal
B Magazine, Published on 16/06/2013
» We're sitting in the back of a local bus heading towards Lake Motosu with snow-capped Mount Fuji occasionally making an appearance outside our windows.

Unlike most tourists, our destination today is the lesser-known Lake Shoji, the smallest of the five but arguably the most attractive.
