Must-Visit Attractions in Chureito Pagoda
1. Chureito Pagoda
The Chureito Pagoda, or Fujiyoshida Cenotaph Monument, is a five-story shrine established in 1963 to commemorate peace. Positioned on top of a mountainside, this pagoda presents a captivating view of Fuji Yoshida City and a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the backdrop. To reach the mesmerizing panorama, you can ascend 400 steps to the summit.
2. Arakura Sengen Shrine
Located just a 10-minute walk from Shimo-Yoshida Station, the Arakura Sengen Shrine is a historic site that complements the beauty of the Chureito Pagoda. You can explore the shrine's main buildings and enjoy the serene atmosphere of this cultural landmark.
3. Arakurayama Sengen Park
Arakurayama Sengen Park is a prime spot for 'Hanami', the traditional flower viewing in Japan, usually associated with cherry blossoms. But you can also enjoy this practice during the plum blossom season in February, the colorful 'koyo' season in autumn, or any time flowers bloom. While Chureito Pagoda is famous for cherry blossoms, it's just as stunning in autumn when leaves change to brilliant hues of gold, orange, and yellow, providing a whole new charm to the landscape.
4. Lake Kawaguchiko
Lake Kawaguchiko is often considered the top choice among the lakes for international visitors due to its accessibility and abundance of attractions. Located in a hot spring resort town at the foot of Mount Fuji, Kawaguchiko is an excellent starting point for discovering the surrounding area.
5. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park
Chureito Pagoda and Mt. Fuji are located in the scenic Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, spread across 474 square miles. This park includes Mt. Fuji, Fuji Five Lakes Region, Hakone, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Islands, with activities like hot spring relaxation, hiking, lake fun, and island exploration. Known for its beauty, it is one of Japan's most popular national parks among over 30 stunning parks nationwide, from Hokkaido's snowy terrain to Okinawa's tropical shores.
