📘《My Journey to the Magnificent View of Mt. Fuji》 Chapter: Arakurayama Sengen Park──The closest heartbeat I ever got to Mt. Fuji

If you ask me: "Where can I take photos of cherry blossoms, a five-story pagoda, and Mount Fuji in the same picture?" I will answer without hesitation: "Arakurayama Sengen Park is definitely a dream check-in spot!" 🌸 The moment I was defeated by the scenery Get off the Fuji Kyuko Line "Shimoyoshida Station", walk out for less than 10 minutes, and a quiet mountain road will lead me to the stairs of destiny - the Sakikurahime stage, a full 398 steps, which sounds scary, but when I look up and see the top of the tower in the distance overlapping with the silhouette of Mount Fuji, all the sore feet are worth it. Some people are panting while walking on the stairs, and some people are taking selfies while shouting "It's worth it!" I think I am the latter. 🏯 The story of the red five-story pagoda and the heroes The red five-story pagoda on the top of the mountain is called "Churei Pagoda", which was built to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war. I stood there, looking at Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms, and the red pagoda, and my heart was moved and calmed down. This is not just a tourist attraction, it is a place full of historical emotions. 🍓 Strawberry and grape ice cream, it completely defeated my stomach! When I went down the mountain, I found a small stall near the entrance of the park selling strawberry daifuku. As expected, it was fresh and juicy, with smooth red beans as the filling, and a whole strawberry hiding inside. It was sweet and sour, and the taste was super perfect! What was even more surprising was that I actually found the legendary grape ice cream! After taking the first bite, I almost doubted whether it was made with a whole bunch of grapes. It was refreshing and sweet, and the ice was just right. After walking a whole mountain road, it was really healing to come here! 🚉 I will help you sort out the transportation information • How to get there: Take the Fujikyu Line to "Shimoyoshida Station", and walk about 10 minutes after exiting the station to the entrance. • Drivers: Enter "Arakurayama Sengen Park" or "Chureito" in the navigation. Remember to arrive early during the spring cherry blossom season, otherwise it will be hard to find a parking space! 🕒 Opening hours notes ✔ The park is open 24 hours a day, all year round. ✔ Night lighting (limited to certain months): the latest lighting is until 10 pm. ✔ No admission fee, certified as a Buddhist attraction ✅ ⸻ 📷 My little advice • Golden time for taking photos: before 7:00 in the morning or after 5:00 in the evening, to avoid the tourist crowd. • Equipment recommendations: comfortable walking shoes, a bottle of water, and a camera with sufficient memory card capacity. • Seasonal recommendations: cherry blossom viewing in spring, maple viewing in autumn, and snow-capped mountains in winter. You will never regret coming in all seasons! ⸻ For me, Arakurayama Sengen Park is not just a place where you can "take photos of Mount Fuji", it is a memory that I walked out with my feet and collected with my eyes. When I stood in front of the tower, enjoying the breeze, eating ice cream, and taking photos of Mount Fuji, I knew that I would never forget the scenes of this trip. You should also come here to let this mountain, this tower, and this strawberry conquer your heart 💖 ⸻ 📍Address: 2-4-1 Asama, Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture 📞Tel: +81 555-23-1111 (Fujiyoshida City Tourism Division) 📷IG check-in suggestion Hashtag: #Arakurayama Asama Park #Fujisan Five-story Tower #Sakikuyahime Stage Challenge Success
