[2025 Fujiyoshida Attraction] Travel Guide for Arakurayama Sengen Park Observation Deck (Updated Jun)

Suraito Pagoda, or as many people call it, Suraito Red Pagoda, is another popular place for tourists visiting Mt. Fuji. It is also a place to pray. Getting there is very convenient. Just take the local train and get off at Shimoyoshida Station, then follow the signs for about 1.3 kilometers and you will find the pagoda on the hill. #Get a discount without relying on luck

〰️ Stayed at Fuji Garden Hotel, the room directly sees Mount Fuji🗻 It's really beautiful, for those who drive to Mount Fuji The hotel also has a parking space, which is very convenient Drove to #Arakurayama Sengen Park early in the morning Climbed 398 steps, panting but suddenly arrived The scenery is really beautiful! ! After going down the mountain, go directly to #Fuji Yoshida Nostalgic Shopping Street Just to take pictures of this view, thanks to my travel companions Luckily there are not many people! ! The traffic police must feel annoyed The last attraction of Kawaguchiko #Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park I originally thought that I could see Mount Fuji directly by taking the cable car But it turned out not to be the case. You can only see it from the other side after getting off the cable car You need to queue up for both getting on and off the cable car I got addicted to driving in Mount Fuji for two days and one night I sincerely recommend everyone to drive in Mount Fuji It's really convenient, there are parking lots everywhere I was a little nervous at first haha~ #Japan#Mount Fuji#Kawaguchiko#Self-driving#happy

Early in the morning, I arrived at the meeting point in Shinjuku, feeling energetic and excited. Our guide was a very friendly gentleman who provided explanations in fluent Chinese and English throughout the journey. He not only introduced the history and culture of Mount Fuji but also shared many interesting local stories, making the bus ride far from boring. He was incredibly courteous and answered all our questions, making me feel well taken care of. Our first stop was "Timing Street" (likely referring to Kawaguchiko shopping street or a similar tourist area, described here based on the context). As soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the Japanese-style streetscape. The shops were filled with a dazzling array of souvenirs and delicious foods, tempting me to shop to my heart's content. However, I focused on soaking in the atmosphere and took a few photos to remember the moment. Next, we headed to "Oishi Park at Lake Kawaguchi." Wow! The scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful! The deep blue Lake Kawaguchi and the distant Mount Fuji complemented each other, creating a stunning landscape. The park was planted with various flowers, and although it wasn’t flower season, the lush greenery was still refreshing. I took many photos here, each one as picturesque as a postcard! After lunch, we visited "Arakurayama Sengen Park." This is the perfect spot to enjoy a panoramic view of Mount Fuji! Climbing up to the observation deck, Mount Fuji stood majestically before us, paired with the iconic five-story pagoda. This classic view immediately made me understand why it’s such a popular photo spot. Although climbing the stairs required some effort, the magnificent scenery made all the fatigue disappear. Later, we explored "Oshino Hakkai." This village is composed of eight crystal-clear spring ponds. The water was so transparent that you could see fish swimming leisurely at the bottom. The guide shared the historical stories and legends of this place, allowing me to appreciate the culture while enjoying the scenery. Throughout the trip, what impressed me the most was seeing Mount Fuji’s beauty from different perspectives. From the lakeside at Kawaguchi, to the heights of Arakurayama Sengen Park, and the purity of Oshino Hakkai, Mount Fuji showcased different charms against various backdrops, leaving me in awe every time. Of course, visiting Lake Kawaguchi wouldn’t be complete without trying the local ice cream! I bought one near Oishi Park, and the rich milk flavor and creamy texture were an absolute delight amidst the stunning scenery. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try! Travel Tips If you’re planning to join this Mount Fuji day trip, here are a few tips: * Arrive early at the meeting point: Shinjuku’s transportation can be complex, so it’s best to allow extra time to avoid being late. * Pay attention to weather changes: The weather in the Mount Fuji area can be unpredictable, so it’s advisable to wear layered clothing for easy adjustment. Even in summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains can be significant. * Wear comfortable shoes: There will be some walking during the trip, such as climbing stairs at Arakurayama Sengen Park. A pair of comfortable shoes will make your journey much easier. * Bring snacks and water: Although lunch is included in the itinerary, you might want to prepare some snacks and water in case you get hungry. * Keep your phone charged or bring a power bank: With Mount Fuji’s stunning views, you’ll definitely want to take lots of photos. Don’t let a dead phone ruin your mood! * Flexible itinerary: Day trips are usually tight on time, but the guide will do their best to manage the schedule. If time permits, you can check with the guide about free time to explore nearby shops or buy souvenirs. This Mount Fuji day trip was truly memorable. The well-organized itinerary and the guide’s professionalism and friendliness added so much to the experience. If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to explore Mount Fuji, this trip is definitely a great choice! What other Japanese attractions are you interested in?

Beautiful area and nice weater

At Arakurayama Sengen Park, Yamanashi, cherry blossom season feels like stepping into Japan’s most iconic postcard. Framed perfectly—the five-storied Chureito Pagoda, soft pink sakura, and majestic Mt. Fuji rising in the distance—it’s a breathtaking trifecta of beauty. As the breeze carries petals through the air, I stood in awe, camera in hand, heart full. A must-see for every sakura dreamer. #cherryblossom25

It's quite crowded and parking was expensive, but views are great!

#cherryblossom25 As the cherry blossom is first among flowers, so is the samurai first among men. Like samurais, cherry blossoms are well respected and a symbolic presence in Japan. The beauty of cherry blossoms color the world, regardless of what people say, they bloom in their own time, they bloom in their own individual ways. It is a symbolism of renewal and fleeting nature of life. Don't think twice, for it doesn't grow the same way twice.

Capturing the essence of Japan at Arakurayama

I would recommend as early as 0500-0600am to reach the peak of the observation deck to catch this stunning view. First of all, the sunrise is quite early during the Spring season. Secondly, you rarely see crowd during that hour. And most importantly, Mount Fuji usually has stunning view in the morning compared with afternoon, but of course it depends also on your personal luck and the location.

need to go to see Fugi in the morning as early as you can or it's 1. crazy busy 2. the cloud comes down fast after midday. when going into Fugi stick to the right side of the town or you will not have any restaurants etc. But it's a must see and 100% breath taki#fuji_mount

#springwander Arakurayama Sengen Park is the ultimate spring destination for nature lovers and scenic enthusiasts alike. Situated at the foot of Mount Fuji, the park offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the iconic mountain, especially during the spring season when the landscape is transformed into a vibrant sea of spring floras . The park’s lush greenery creates a perfect contrast to the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, offering an idyllic setting for a peaceful escape into nature. As you wander through the park, you’ll encounter an abundance of spring floras, including colorful cherry trees, azaleas, and plum blossoms, each adding their own burst of color to the landscape. The sight of Mount Fuji in the distance, surrounded by these beautiful blooms, provides an unforgettable experience and a perfect photo opportunity. Whether you’re here to take in the stunning views, enjoy a leisurely walk, or simply immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the season, Arakurayama Sengen Park offers a truly serene and picturesque spring escape.

I'm sure everyone has seen this photo at least once. This place is actually quite close to downtown Tokyo. The name of this place is Arakurayama Sengen Park. It is an hour and 40 minute ride from Shinjuku Station on the Fujikyu Railway Line's Shimoyoshida Station, and you can walk there. The combination of Mt. Fuji and the five-story pagoda is a sight that symbolizes Japan, and many people will want to go there. One thing to be aware of is that the stairs are quite long. It may be difficult for elderly people and those with weak legs. However, you can see the beautiful Mt. Fuji right in the city without having to climb all the way up. #Spring0yentrip

Those of you who appreciate a great view of Mount Fuji should definitely come in the morning, during December. The view is absolutely amazing and Mount Fuji is not shy and hiding behind clouds. #fuji_mount

#GetDiscountNotRelyingOnLuck #fuji Review of viewing Fuji during the autumn leaves season from Arakurayama Sengen Park This viewpoint offers a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, Chureito Pagoda and the autumn leaves that contrast perfectly. The quiet place is perfect for relaxing and capturing memories. Tips: 🌞 Arrive early to avoid the tourists and enjoy the beautiful morning light. 👟 Prepare comfortable shoes because you have to walk up the stairs. 📷 Don't forget your camera to capture the impressive view. But do not use drones because they are not allowed here. This is a must-see destination for those who love nature and authentic Japanese beauty!

Arakurayama Sengen Park is located halfway up Arakurayama and is just a 1.5-hour drive from Tokyo! This park is one of the popular spots to view Mount Fuji, and the revered Fuji Sengen Shrine is also located here! Before entering the shrine, you must cleanse your hands at the shrine's entrance! This shrine is unique, with a design that feels very sacred, and on clear days, you can see Mount Fuji! Unfortunately, we couldn't see the entire Mount Fuji this time, but we could still see its peak! Additionally, the five-storied pagoda is another must-visit spot, rich in traditional Buddhist culture and housing the remains of high monks! The pagoda is primarily red, with the stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji right next to it, creating a breathtaking view!

Although we were unable to have the mt fuji view but overall this is still a worth place to visit. Short hike to see the five-storied pagoda at the top along the way. One bonus! We were able to see the autumn leaves during the spring season!’

A sunny afternoon in winter in Japan. 2 guys invited each other to go out. If we can't climb the mountain, let's see Fuji. The view of 富士山 is quite beautiful. #Arakurayama Sengen Park#fuji

#2024wish The park begins at the base of Mount Arakurayama and extends up the mountain. To get to the top of the mountain, you need to climb a flight of 398 steps hike to the observation deck. You can walk using the path way too. The observation deck looks out over the cityscape of Fujiyoshida City and the majestic Mount Fuji towering above. But if the sky is cloudy, you can see Mount Fuji. To reach there, got to head to Taka Station in the far west of Tokyo and take the 40 minute Chuo Line train to Otsuki. Then ride the Fuji Kyuko Line and you can be able to reach Arakura Sengen Shrine in 10 minutes on foot. The pagoda is a further five to ten minutes climb up the hill. I wish to go Spain! #japan #tripblazers #mytripvlog
