[2024 Fujiyoshida Attraction] Travel Guide for Arakurayama Sengen Park (Updated Dec)

My wonderful visit to Arakurayama Sengen Park was a magical and beautiful experience. I enjoyed climbing the corridor leading to the top of the hill. She was waiting for the magnificent view of Fuji, the sacred mountain. Enjoy the wonderful views of the city and the surrounding mountains. I felt calm and serene at this spiritual location, where I meditated and reflected. I enjoyed the experience of visiting in spring when the cherry blossoms add beauty to the scenery. Arakurayama Sengen Park is a great place to unwind and enjoy the magnificent views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding nature.

#cherryblossom2024 Cherry 🌸 flowers in Japan. Arakumayama Sengen Park (Yamanashi Prefecture) is famous for their view of cherry blossoms 🌸 with a backdrop of Mt Fuji and the five-storied pagoda Churyo. The park is located halfway up Mount Niikura, with approximately 650 cherry trees. In the spring, the Sakura Matsuri (cherry tree festival) is held. The park is famous for the fall season, but I climbed 398 steps to take a picture of the clouds buried in the green trees and Mt. Fuji. Now it's a representative view of Japan. Around noon, you might have to wait for hours in a long line to get to the observation deck.

Crowded, very very crowded especially I went during the peak season of sakura in April 2023. If you intend to take a good photo with both pagoda and Mt Fuji, you may have to queue for at least one hour (it was 3 hours for my time and I didn’t queue for it) or you reach the destination before 7am. Further, you have to be physically fit to climb the stairs which is about 400 steps up to the top of the pagoda view. The climb takes about 10-15 mins depends on individual’s fitness.

"Mount Fuji" is the highest mountain in Japan and a spiritual symbol of Japan. It was also listed as one of the World Cultural Heritage in 2013. Many people want to see the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, and among them, it is highly recommended that everyone go to Fujiyoshida City Go watch it at "Arakurayama Sengen Park". 📍 Senma 2-3353, Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture 🚌 From Shinjuku, take the express train or highway bus bound for JR Fuji and walk for about 10 minutes from the nearest Shimoyoshida Station After arriving at the park and climbing a short flight of stairs, you will first arrive at "Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine". The shrine mainly blesses disasters, family harmony, smooth childbirth, etc. You can pay homage and rest for a while, and then go to challenge your physical fitness. But when you see the beautiful scenery from the observatory, you will naturally feel that climbing the 398 stairs is worth it. From the observatory, you can have a panoramic view of the majestic Mount Fuji, the five-story Churyu Tower and the beautiful scenery composed of trees. The red color of "Chongli Tower" makes "Mt. Fuji" in different seasons more eye-catching. There are many cherry blossom trees planted in the park. In early and mid-April during the cherry blossom viewing season, you can put "Mount Fuji", "Five-Story Pagoda" and "Sakura" in full bloom into the same photo frame. This is why photos taken here are often used on postcards or magazine covers. If you want to continue the challenge, you can also choose to climb Mount Aracura. #Looking at the Earth Instantly #Overseas Travel #Japan #Country Series #Fujiyoshida City #New Cangshan #Hongta Fuji #Beauty #Four Seasons Scenery #japan

Visiting Arakurayama Sengen Park in December offers a different charm, with the crisp winter air and clear skies providing a stunning backdrop for Mount Fuji.

The short hike remains enjoyable, and the quiet winter setting adds to the beauty of the park.

Originally, I wanted to experience the Fuji Cruise this time when I went to Mount Fuji. Because I booked my ticket too late, I took the bus first on my way out. I saw the lovely Mount Fuji train at the station Each car on this route on Mount Fuji is very unique. There is also a retro version which is quite beautiful. We also passed by the famous Mount Fuji Lawson But I personally don’t think it’s necessary to follow the trend 😅 There are many good perspectives So many people ruin the beautiful scenery When going abroad, I prefer to run to the suburbs to get a different feeling. A must-see when visiting Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine ⛩️ But if you have elders with you, you should think about it. I walked a lot of roads, stairs and slopes 🥵 There are small stalls and cafes run by locals along the road. (I really want to be a local and do business here🤣 After visiting Sengen Shrine, fill your stomach before heading to the next itinerary The mall next to the station has Moss. I tried Japanese Moss. The rice in the rice burger is not as wet as in Taiwan. The outermost layer is fried until slightly crispy Kitaguchi Hongu Sengen Shrine It's like a big forest here towering trees There are also hiking trails and other shrines nearby. Before heading to the B&B Saw Mount Fuji appear at the station Although the snow on the top of the mountain melted away before we went There are still very few re-accumulated But I’m already very touched when I see it🗻

#Tokyo Attractions I saw on the Internet that there are many attractions to choose from to enjoy Mount Fuji, I chose Shinkurayama Asama Park, many posters were shot there, the scenery is really well-deserved 👍🗻 After getting off at Shimoyoshida Station, you can head towards Shinkurayama Park along the way. There are beautiful cherry blossoms🌸 along the way, and the view is quite good After arriving at the park, the most attractive thing is the beautifully colored five-story pagoda Then we climbed the hillside to find Mount Fuji, there were really a lot of people😂 Unfortunately, there were more clouds, I could only enjoy the outline of Mount Fuji, but it was still beautiful👏💁

Mt. Fuji finally has its own snow cap 😍

Location : Arakurayama Sengen Park 新倉山浅間公園 Shrine: Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine is 三國第一山新倉富士浅間神社 A few minutes walk from Shimoyishida station (下吉田） Then you’ll see the shrine. The view is great, Mount Fuji is just in front of your eyes. To get a better view, you can climb up the stairs, the view from top is even greater. You will not regret it. The Fuji Apple and the strawberry bought on the way back to the station is amazing! Taste sweet. Feel blessed and lucky to got the chance to explore that area, enjoyed the time there.

#fallcolors #100waysoftravel We walked all the way from the station to the park and were about to arrive at the park. The first thing we saw was the "Omotesando" of Sengen Shrine. Let me tell you first that the stairs here are quite steep. If you are bringing older people, be sure to reserve more space. Time climbs step by step. After walking through Omotesando, you will see the "torii gate". Have you seen it (the highest mountain in the Three Kingdoms)? This was the title given by Emperor Heijo at that time, which means the greatest mountain range in the world. It was nominated by the emperor himself. At the same time, if the weather is good, you can see Mount Fuji through the torii (looking down the mountain). Address: 2-chome-4-1 Asama, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0011, Jepang

Thank you for showing up. #thingstodo #mtfuji

This is the legendary spot where you can see both Mount Fuji and the five-story pagoda. Upon arriving at the famous pagoda viewing platform in Arakurayama Sengen Park, you need to climb stairs from the parking lot all the way up to the viewing platform. At the top of the mountain, you'll find the five-story pagoda, and if you continue further up, there's another viewing platform. On clear days, you can see both the pagoda and Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, when we reached the top, we couldn't see Mount Fuji, but the sky was very bright. The clouds occasionally parted a bit and then covered up again. We kept hoping to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji through the clouds, but it never happened. Since we weren't in a hurry, we stayed up there for over an hour! In the end, we had to give up. The weather was strange, with occasional light rain that never got heavy. Sometimes the clouds would part a bit, and the rain would stop. We even saw a huge double rainbow on the other side! Although the clouds obscured Mount Fuji, being so close to it made us realize just how massive Mount Fuji is. It felt almost unreal!

#japantrip While we tackled the steep stairs, the concrete path provided ease, especially for families with strollers. Luck was on our side as we were greeted by the magnificent sight of Mt. Fuji in all its glory. Despite the weekend rush, the crowds were manageable, allowing us to snap some incredible photos by the shrine. Being so close to Mt. Fuji left us in absolute awe. Parking was free and there were attendants everywhere directing tourists to the parking spots and the trail.

Arakurayama Sengen Park is a park located in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. This park is famous for offering one of the best views of Mount Fuji, especially when cherry blossom season arrives. In spring, the park's thousands of cherry trees bloom, creating a stunning backdrop with Mount Fuji in the background.This view is one of the most sought after by tourists who want to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms in Japan. #cherryblossom2024

It's not very crowded if you get up early on a non-weekend day, so I went straight to the five-storied pagoda, which took just over twenty minutes, and there was already a row of old masters sitting there, saying they were waiting for the 'snow cap' on Mount Fuji--- the peak's intermittent gathering and scattering with the clouds☁️, merging and separating, creating different scenes... Most visitors stay for a few minutes, take their photos, finish their group pictures, and then disperse... After all, the halfway up the mountain that they just passed by, is where a large area of cherry blossoms and azaleas are blowing in the wind, and it's overwhelmingly beautiful! On the way down the mountain, the number of visitors gradually increased, and there were even tour group flags fluttering... It is said that they have started to control the direction and duration of the crowd flow up there~

#cherryblossom2024 The view of Mount Fuji The Arakura Fuji Sengen Temple stands proudly in the middle of the Arakurayama Sengen Park. The five-tiered pagoda is located in such a way that it offers a magnificent view of Mount Fuji. Those who visit these places during the cherry blossom season will have a unique opportunity to capture three symbols of Japan in one photo at once. Recommended Visit the park in mid-April, during the cherry blossom season To come here in November, when the red pagoda is especially good among the scarlet maples How to get there There are several routes from Tokyo to the park, mostly with transfers. Perhaps the easiest way is to get to Takao Station in western Tokyo and drive 40 minutes along the Chuo Line to Otsuki. Here you need to transfer to the Fuji Kyuko line and get off at Shimiyoshida Station. Arakura Sengen Temple is just a ten—minute walk away. After another five minutes of climbing the mountain, you will find yourself at the pagoda. Memorial The Arakura Fuji Sengen-jinja Pagoda was built in 1963, in memory of those who died in modern wars. There are 398 steps leading up to it, but they are worth going through in order to admire the magnificent views. In clear weather, Mount Fuji is visible on the horizon. If you like competitions, try to beat the record of local schoolchildren: they managed to run up the stairs in just two minutes.

#cherryblossom2024 🌼🤗 During our unforgettable vacation, I embarked on a thrilling journey to the bustling metropolis of Japan.

Immersed in the luxurious landscapes of this captivating sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking panoramas that unfolded before us at every twist and turn, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. As visitors ascend the steps leading up to the Chureito Pagoda, they are greeted with a panoramic view of Mt Fuji standing majestically in the background, framed by the delicate pink petals of the cherry blossoms. The combination of the iconic pagoda, the snow-capped peak of Mt Fuji, and the vibrant cherry blossoms creates a picture-perfect scene that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit. The park's serene atmosphere and breathtaking scenery make it a popular spot for both locals and tourists alike to partake in hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the park, a picnic under the blooming trees, or simply sitting and admiring the view, Arakurayama Sengen Park offers a tranquil and picturesque setting to experience the fleeting beauty of cherry blossom season.

#cherryblossom2024 🌸come & enjoy ☺️ Address: 2-chome-4-1 Asama, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0011, Japan Ambiance/Facilities: Arakurayama Sengen Park Came here towards sunset for the views. But so unexpected that the stairs would take the wind out of me. It was a truly long flight of stairs and a rather steep incline. Fortunately for some there was a slope by the side as well for you to climb gently up to the top, but this isnt for the faint hearted knees. Those knee caps will be put to work. But the view was spectacular. Loads of people will be taking photos, as did i. But once that subsides, you will find yourself lingering for the view. So expect the viewing space to be crowded and people jostling for the best position to get the best photo. But you will look past that and find quiet within to really take in the view.
