Chureito Pagoda in Arakura Sengen Park
The pagoda was not as popular as now before and it became well-known in last decade. Several foreign magazines and books started featuring the pagoda as their covers as it represent “The authentic view of Japan”. Mt.fuji, the red pagoda and cherry blossoms in one picture. This is almost the perfect picture to present Japan which many would imagine.
As many foreigners started to know about this pagoda, it became a very popular tourist destination. Surprisingly, it’s better known to foreign visitors than Japanese!
This beautiful red pagoda is located in Asakura Sengen Shrine site in Arakura Sengen Park where over 650 cherry blossom trees are planted.
Arakura Sengen park is located in a half way of the mountain summit. The shrine’s main hall stands at the foot of the mountain and to reach the symbolic red pagoda, there are 398 steps to challenge yourself.
After climbing tough steps, here is a great red pagoda. The photo point is behind the pagoda.
Mt.Fuji with a red five storied Pagoda and overlook view of Fuji Yoshida city. On top of it, if you catch the moment, the cherry blossom may be a big enhancer.
The view can be enjoyed all year around but cherry blossom season is obviously better!
