Established in 1959, the park is part of the Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine grounds and features approximately 650 cherry trees, making it a popular spot for hanami (flower viewing) during spring. Visitors can ascend 398 steps to reach the five-story Chureito Pagoda, a memorial to war victims, offering a panoramic vista of the city and Mount Fuji. The park also boasts an observatory, renovated in 2022, providing an even wider view of the surrounding landscape. Accessible by a 10-minute walk from Shimoyoshida Station, Arakurayama Sengen Park is a must-visit destination for those seeking to experience the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region.

Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

Shinkura Fuji Asama Shrine, also known as Arakurayama Sengen Park, is a historic Shinto shrine located in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Established in 865, it is dedicated to Konohanasakuya-hime, the goddess of Mount Fuji and volcanoes. The shrine is renowned for its breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, especially from the five-story Chureito Pagoda, which is accessible via a 398-step climb. The surrounding grounds feature approximately 650 cherry trees, making it a popular spot for hanami (flower viewing) during spring

Fujiyoshida

Fujiyoshida Honcho Street, often referred to as the "Retro Shopping Street," is a nostalgic shopping district in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. This charming area is renowned for its Showa-era ambiance, featuring traditional lantern lamps, faded signage, and a backdrop of the majestic Mount Fuji. Once facing decline, the street has experienced a revival, attracting both locals and tourists seeking to experience its unique atmosphere. Visitors can explore a variety of shops, including vintage clothing stores, local eateries, and cafes, all set against the picturesque view of Mount Fuji. The district's blend of historical charm and modern revitalisation makes it a must-visit destination for those looking to experience a different side of Japan's cultural heritage.

Oshino Hakkai

Oshino Hakkai is a picturesque village located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, nestled between Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji. It is famous for its eight crystal-clear spring ponds, which are fed by the snowmelt from Mount Fuji that has filtered through layers of volcanic rock over many decades, resulting in incredibly pure and transparent water. The name "Oshino Hakkai" translates to "Eight Seas of Oshino," referring to these eight sacred ponds, each with its own unique name, history, and cultural significance.

Shinnasho River

The Shinano River, also known as the Chikuma River in its upper reaches, is the longest river in Japan, stretching approximately 367 kilometres from its source in the Japanese Alps to its mouth in the Sea of Japan. Flowing through Nagano and Niigata Prefectures, the river plays a vital role in agriculture, particularly rice farming, by providing fertile soil and essential irrigation. It is also a major source of hydroelectric power, with several dams harnessing its flow. The Shinano River basin supports a rich ecosystem, home to numerous native fish species, although it has faced environmental challenges due to human activity.

Oishi Park

Oishi Park, located on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, is a beautiful lakeside park renowned for its stunning views of Mount Fuji. The park is especially popular for its seasonal flower displays, with vibrant tulips and rape blossoms in the spring, lavender blooming in early summer, and striking red foliage from kochia in autumn

Lake Kawaguchi Ohashi Bridge

Lake Kawaguchi, one of Japan’s Fuji Five Lakes, is located at the base of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. It is the second-largest lake and offers some of the most breathtaking views of the iconic mountain, especially from its northern shores. The area is a popular destination year-round, with vibrant seasonal attractions such as cherry blossoms in spring, lavender fields in summer, and stunning autumn foliage along the "Momiji Corridor." Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, including taking the Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway for sweeping views or exploring the serene Oishi Park, known for its flower fields and views of Mount Fuji. The Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum, showcasing automatic musical instruments, and the Ide Sake Brewery, where visitors can learn about sake production, add to the cultural richness of the area.

Kawaguchiko Natural Loving Centre

The Kawaguchiko Natural Living Centre, located on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, offers a unique blend of nature, local culture, and hands-on experiences with stunning views of Mount Fuji. A highlight of the centre is its jam-making workshops, where visitors can create their own blueberry jam using locally grown fruits, with reservations recommended during peak seasons. The centre also offers seasonal fruit-picking experiences, such as cherry picking in late June and blueberry picking in early summer, allowing visitors to enjoy fresh, all-you-can-eat fruit. Inside the centre, you'll find a shop selling local products like handmade jam, traditional Yamanashi crafts, and Mount Fuji-themed souvenirs, as well as a café serving light meals and famous blueberry soft ice cream.

Lawson Fujikawaguchiko Town hall

The Lawson convenience store near Fujikawaguchiko Town Hall became a viral sensation due to its unique location offering a picturesque view of Mount Fuji framed by the store's façade. This spot gained popularity on social media platforms, attracting both tourists and photographers eager to capture the iconic image. However, the influx of visitors led to concerns among local residents about overcrowding, littering, and safety issues, prompting the installation of a large black mesh barrier in May 2024 to obscure the view of Mount Fuji from the store
