Snow Peaks Awe🏔️

Dreaming of jaw-dropping Mt. Fuji views? 🗻 Don’t miss Fujiyoshida and its legendary Chureito Pagoda for THAT postcard-perfect photo spot! The contrast of the bright red pagoda, snowy Fuji, and cherry blossoms (if you time it right!) is straight up surreal.

Must-See: Fujiyoshida Chureito Pagoda
Located at: Arakura, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0004, Japan
Open 24/7, so aim for sunrise or sunset for the softest light and fewer crowds! The viewpoint requires climbing about 400 stairs from the base, but trust me: the panorama at the top is 100% worth every step. Bring water and comfy shoes—you'll thank yourself later.

Pro Tip: Snap your best shots early in the morning for clear skies and minimal people in your frame. There’s a small park (Arakurayama Sengen Park) surrounding the pagoda, perfect for a mid-hike snack break and soaking in the vibes.

Getting There: The easiest route is a train to Shimoyoshida Station (Fujikyuko Line), then it’s a 10-minute walk to the base of the park. If you’re coming from Tokyo, hop on the JR Chuo Line to Otsuki, then transfer.

Food & Extras: After your photo session, reward yourself at a cozy local ramen shop near Shimoyoshida Station—try the regional noodles for max flavor! Weather can be chilly—layer up, especially between October and April.
