Absolutely stunning! The whole mountain is covered in vibrant red leaves—autumn at its best.

Michi-no-Eki, Fujiyoshida
This roadside station always ranks near the top, which is a wonderful spot to view Mt.Fuji straight ahead.
A lot of drivers stop here for a quick break. There are outdoor shops and an indoor play area for kids. You get a really clear view of Mt. Fuji from here.

Komoro Castle Ruins / Kaiko-en Park
During the Warring States Period, Takeda Shingen ordered Yamamoto Kansuke, an important vassal and a master castle builder, to design the original Komoro Castle. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi united the country in 1590, Sengoku Hidehisa, a feudal lord of Komoro, undertook a major renovation of the castle and the castle town, and built the castle into the solid castle seen today.
The cherry blossoms here are absolutely breathtaking. I was really moved by how beautiful they were.

Zenkoji Temple
This historical large-scaled temple is about 59,000 square meters (about 5.9 ha) and was founded 1400 years ago. Many Buddhist facilities fill the compound. Some of them are; Daikanjin and Daihongan (they are also independent temples), and guests' quarters. This temple was founded at a specific time before the various subsects of Buddhism came into being. Some of the worshippers were those with power at the time, such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu , as well as the common people.
There are tons of shops to check out along the Omotesando street.
