The opening scene of Season 1 — Rin camps at Koan Campground by Lake Motosu with the iconic Mount Fuji view that appears on the 1000 yen bill. This is where the series begins.
The campground is open year-round. Winter camping gives the clearest Fuji views but temperatures drop below freezing. The 1000 yen bill viewpoint is at the north shore, a 30-minute walk from the campground.
