Nichikawa Time Shop

Located at the end of the old street in Shimoyoshida, the Hikawa Watch Shop is a window into the Showa era of Fuji's soul. The shopping lane leading directly to Mount Fuji is like a ladder to the clouds, with telephone poles and ancient lamps interlaced, like a love letter to the mountain. The Hikawa Watch Shop itself is not a gorgeous landmark, but with its old-fashioned eaves, Showa font signs and nostalgic clocks, it captures the breath and rhythm of the past and becomes a watcher of time. What I cherish most is the silence of the early morning: when the first ray of light jumps between the brick walls and the glass surface, the past and present of the entire street seem to be awakened. At this time, Mount Fuji is not just a background, but a part of the streetscape, and you walk with the mountain in sight. The Hikawa Watch Shop is not just a photo spot, but also a miniature ritual of "co-construction of time and scenery", reminding us to stop and re-experience the daily life of "breathing with the mountain". 📍Address: 2 Chome-1-31 Shimoyoshida, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0004 Japan💞Recommended reason: Nostalgic shopping street with majestic Mount Fuji 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 🗓️Itinerary: Komuro Sengen Shrine

Shimoyoshida Honcho Street

Exploring Fujiyoshida? Here’s a mini guide to two of its most underrated gems: Shimoyoshida Honcho Street and the Fujiyoshida Retro Shopping Street — with epic Mount Fuji views the whole time! 🗻✨ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Shimoyoshida Honcho Street Address: 3 Chome-5 Shimoyoshida, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0004 This laid-back street is all about old-school Showa-era vibes and local spots. You’ll want your camera ready: on clear days, the street frames Mount Fuji perfectly at the end. Early mornings or late afternoons are best for fewer crowds and gorgeous light for photos — trust me, it’s Insta-gold! 2. Fujiyoshida Retro Shopping Street Address: 3 Chome-14 Shimoyoshida, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0004 Open all day, year-round Step back in time with quirky storefronts, retro signs, and family-run shops. Grab a snack from a street vendor (yakisoba is a local fave!) and hunt for cute souvenirs. It’s a relaxed spot to wander and soak up the retro energy and, again, those unbeatable Fuji views. Local Tips: - For the clearest views of Mount Fuji, check the weather and aim for a clear morning — it’s seriously magical. - Both streets are walkable from Shimoyoshida Station, so no car required! 🚶 - Many shops are cash-only, so bring yen! Getting Around: Trains are your friend — Shimoyoshida Station is the easiest access point. The streets are close by, so you can stroll, snack, and snap amazing Fuji shots all day.
