Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja Shrine

Reviewed By 184cmk - San Diego, United States

Mossy stone lanterns dating from early Edo period line the entrance path, surrounded by towering Japanese cedars, give this shrine the most tranquil and peaceful feeling when you enter through the torii gate. The shrine dates back to the year 110 when the shrine was built for worshipers of Mt. Fuji. The existing structures date back to 1561 and are well preserved. The main torii gate is said to be rebuilt (larger--every time it is rebuilt) every 60 years and is one of the largest wooden torii gates in Japan. The Otorii gate or blimbing gate is located on the west side of the shrine and serves as the entrance to the Yoshidaguchi climbing trail....the starting point for the Mt. Fuji pilgrimage and focal point of worship and pilgrim activities. I highly recommend visiting this shrine...just beautiful!

Arakurayama Sengen Park

Reviewed By Travelgirl1909 - Luzon, Philippines

You need to be ready to walk a lot of stairs going up the viewing deck. The stairs are a bit slippery when wet so wear appropriate shoes. Offers nice view from the top.

Chureito Pagoda

Reviewed By Krubee - Singapore, Singapore

Fall, Winter, Autumn or Summer if you would like the best view of Mt. Fuji with the most romantic atmosphere then this is the best place to be - Chureito Pagoda. Located in Asakura Sengen Shrine site in Arakura Sengen Park. We went during Fall season just a few days ago and it was divine. A cool chilly weather around this area but sadly the clouds covered the top of Mt. Fuji. It was still indeed marvelous. We departed from Nippori station going to Otsuki using our JR Tokyo Wide Pass. From Otsuki we took the Fujikyuko line and alighted at Shimoyoshida Station. From the station exit right and follow the trail heading to Asakura Sengen Park. The walk is about 20 mins traversing beautiful countryside, gardens, streams, bridges and farms of Fuji Yoshida city. The park is free but you need to walk uphill so if you have kids or seniors with you please be prepared to take this trail or they can wait just at the entrance of the park. If the day is clear and not cloudy you would see Mt. Fuji behind you. As you enter the park there are many shrines and statues symbolizing your entry to this Holy place of Arakura Sengen Shrine (separate review). There are hundreds of cherry blossoms, maple trees and pine trees that surround the area. We went fall so the colors of Red, Yellow and Orange of the trees are in full bloom - very romantic, bright and happy colors which are perfect for photos and videos to cherish. Going uphill you could take stairs and uphill paved roads. We took the uphill road which is easier for kids and seniors. At the pagoda you have a good photo spot right in front of it and going further up there is the viewing spot where you could stare, marvel, relax and take beautiful photos and videos from the top of the beautiful Red Pagoda and if your lucky to see it - the majestic Mt. Fuji from the distance. This is a good spot for photographers due to its perfect location for your insta-worthy photo and videos. There is also a toilet available at the site. Going down we took the stairs which is easier than going up. Additional bonus in this park is the panoramic view of the Fuji Yoshida countryside and unlimited view of the Majestic Mt. Fuji. Despite not seeing the beautiful mountain we were delighted to be at this beautiful park and its Divine Red Chureito Pagoda.

La Ville de Gaspard Et Lisa

Reviewed By rurimiri

最寄りの富士急ハイランド駅からは、まず、富士急ハイランドに0円で入園します。ジェットコースターの音にヒヤヒヤしたり、すごい水しぶきに驚いたりしながら、富士急ハイランドの中を通り抜けて退園!?するとそこに、リサとガズパールタウンがあります。 規模はそんなに大きくないのですが、ファンには夢の世界が広がっています。 パリの街並みのような建物があり、あちこちに、リサとガスパールがいます。 カフェには、かわいいパンがたくさんあって、席につくと、リサとガスパールの絵に囲まれます。 ショップには、ぬいぐるみ、絵本、様々なグッズがあり、見ていて飽きません。 二階にはミュージアムがあり、アトリエの再現とか、スケッチとか貴重なものもあります。ファンなら一度は行きたい場所かなと思います。 Enjoy the world of Lisa and Gaspard There are many spots where you can take pictures with Lisa and Gaspard. There are also shops where you can buy Lisa and Gaspard goods, and a museum At the cafe, you can see pictures of Lisa and Gaspard while eating cute bread.
