Viewpoint
Chureito Pagoda
A red five-storey pagoda frames Mount Fuji above Fujiyoshida, reached by 398 steps through Arakurayama Sengen Park.
The deck above the pagoda places its vermilion roofs beside Fuji’s full cone, with cherry branches or autumn colour in the foreground. Expect a steep stair climb and potentially long queues during blossom season. Stay off private land, keep residential doorways clear and use park toilets. The mountain often disappears behind summer cloud.
