Arakurayama Sengen Park is famous as a place to view the splendid scenery of the magnificent Mount Fuji with a pagoda dedicated to those who died in battle. Inside the park grounds, about 650 Sakura trees have been planted. In the spring, the picturesque Japanese scenery of cherry blossoms, the pagoda, and Mount Fuji can be seen. The superb views seen from this popular spot often appear in guidebooks introducing Japan.
To see this splendid scenery, climb the 398 stairs of the Sakuya Hime Stairway leading from Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine to the pagoda. It is recommended that you bring shoes that are easy to walk in (there is also a footpath up the slope).

    After climbing quite a few steps, I finally reached the observation deck, and the view before me was absolutely breathtaking! The five-story pagoda with majestic Mt. Fuji looked just like a postcard. I couldn't believe I was seeing it with my own eyes!

    When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the soft pink flowers together with Mt. Fuji are so beautiful that you can't look away.

    Arakurayama Sengen Park is a classic spot for photographing Mt. Fuji. The five-story pagoda with the scenery is absolutely beautiful.

    But climbing the stairs is a bit tiring, and it can get pretty crowded. I’d recommend coming early so it’s easier and more comfortable to take photos.

    The scenery along the way is beautiful as you slowly climb over 300 steps. Seeing Mount Fuji right in front of you is truly breathtaking!

    Mount Fuji is often hidden by clouds, so if you're unlucky, your trip might be for nothing. There’s no cable car, so you have to hike all the way up. If you’re not in good shape, I wouldn’t recommend trying it.
