The WORLD HERITAGE Mt. FUJI + Arakurayama Sengen Park 【富士山】と【新倉山浅間公園】
MOUNT FUJI
Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshiped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people throughout the centuries.
Mount Fuji is an active volcano, which most recently erupted in 1707. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days.
Another easy way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of the mountain can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40-45 minutes into the journey.
Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Visibility tends to be better during the colder seasons of the year than in summer, and in the early morning and late evening hours than during the middle of the day.
If you want to enjoy Mount Fuji at a more leisurely pace and from a nice natural surrounding, you should head to the Fuji Five Lake (Fujigoko) region at the northern foot of the mountain, or to Hakone, a nearby hot spring resort. Mount Fuji is officially open for climbing during July and August via several routes.
ARAKURAYAMA SENGEN PARK
A vividly hued park with an unbeatable view of Mt. Fuji
Arakura Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine and its pagoda sit proudly in beautiful Arakurayama Sengen Park. The pagoda is perfectly positioned for spectacular views of distant Mt. Fuji and if you visit during the cherry blossom season you can fit three Japanese icons all into one shot.
A recent memorial to peace
The pagoda was added to Arakura Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine in 1963 as a memorial to peace. To reach it, you must climb 398 steps, but the elevated position gives you great views of the surrounding area. On a clear day, Mt. Fuji looms large on the horizon.
If you're looking for a bit of a challenge, try to match the area school students who reportedly run up these steps in two minutes.
