Arakurayama Sengen Park and Chureito Pagoda

A famous viewpoint offering stunning views of Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms, and a five-story pagoda.

Arakurayama Sengen Park is famous as one of Japan's most spectacular viewpoints of Mount Fuji. Located at the foot to the middle of Mount Arakura, the park offers breathtaking views of the town of Fujiyoshida below and the symmetrical, beautiful form of Mount Fuji beyond, accessible by climbing 398 steps to the observation deck. In particular, during the cherry blossom season in spring, visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of Mount Fuji, a five-story pagoda, and cherry blossoms—all iconic symbols of Japan. However, its charm isn't limited to spring; throughout the four seasons, the harmony between Mount Fuji, which changes its appearance with each season, and the park's natural environment creates a beautiful landscape.
