Getting the most famous photo in Japan🗻

The Chureito pagoda with the unmistakable shape of mount fuji in the background is probably the most popular photo spot in all of Japan and getting there is actually not that hard🗻 The Chureito pagoda is located in the town of Fujiyoshida and can be photographed from the Arakurayama Sengen Park Observatory📷 You can get on a train in Tokyo and after a 3 hour journey, you’ll arrive at the train station in Fujiyoshida, from which you can take a 20 minute walk to the pagoda (which is of course free by the way)🚄 But if you want to get that famous shot during sunrise, you will have to spend a night in one of the many hotels in the town, whose prices can vary, depending on the season🏨 But here are a few tips: -Get up early and don’t waste any time in the morning, the walk up the mountain might take you longer than you expect, depending on your level of fitness (but should only be around 10 minutes)🌅 -There’s gonna be a lot of people in the morning, so once you arrive early, set up your tripod so no one can steal your spot📷 -Don’t wait for the light to be “perfect”, because that light might never come and then you’re standing there without any shots at all, so just take a picture every 30 seconds or so while you’re waiting for your desired composition☀️ #japan #fuji #pagoda #travel #chureitopagoda #free
