See Mt Fuji from Chureito Pagoda

North Side

Chureito Pagoda is a five-storied pagoda on the mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida city and Mt Fuji. It is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and has become one of the most iconic photography spots in all of Japan. The combination of the traditional red pagoda, Mt Fuji in the background, and cherry blossoms in spring creates the quintessential Japanese scene. Reaching the pagoda requires climbing about 400 steps from the shrine entrance. The viewpoint is spectacular in every season, with cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, autumn colors in fall, and snow-covered scenery in winter.
