- Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai is a picturesque and historic village located at the base of Mount Fuji, famous for its eight sacred ponds. These pristine ponds are formed by the natural filtration of Mount Fuji’s snowmelt, offering a clear view of the vibrant aquatic life and underwater plants. The village is visually stunning, featuring traditional thatched-roof houses, water wheels, and lush greenery that transport visitors back in time. On clear days, the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Fuji, often mirrored in the tranquil waters, creates an unforgettable and iconic Japanese scene. The village’s rich cultural heritage is linked to its history as a pilgrimage site, where travelers would cleanse themselves in the sacred waters before climbing the mountain.
- Chureito Pagoda - Chureito Pagoda is a five-story pagoda situated on a hillside in Fujiyoshida City, providing one of Japan’s most iconic and breathtaking views. The main attraction is the observation deck, which offers a classic Japanese vista of the striking red pagoda, the expansive cityscape, and the majestic Mount Fuji in the background. Built in 1963 as a peace memorial to honor war casualties, the site is part of the larger Arakura Sengen Shrine complex.
- Aokigahara Forest - Aokigahara, also known as the “Sea of Trees,” is a dense, ancient forest formed from old lava flows at the base of Mt. Fuji. The volcanic rock underfoot creates a sound-dampening effect, giving the forest a unique, profound silence. Sunlight struggles to penetrate the thick canopy, creating a constant mystical twilight. The exposed roots of twisted trees cling to the rocky ground, forming a fascinating, living tapestry. This unique ecosystem, with its lush mosses and diverse wildlife, is a stunning testament to nature’s ability to reclaim and thrive in the most unexpected places.
- Oishi Park - Oishi Park, situated on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi, is renowned for its stunning, panoramic views of Mount Fuji. The park’s main attraction is a 350-meter-long “Flowers Road” promenade, where a vibrant array of seasonal flowers creates a picturesque foreground for the majestic mountain. In early summer, the park is famous for its lavender fields, drawing visitors to the annual Kawaguchiko Herb Festival. Later in the year, the kochia (summer cypress) turns a fiery red, providing a spectacular contrast with Fuji’s snow-capped peak. The park also features the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center, which offers a cafe with a view, a shop for local products like blueberry jam, and even jam-making classes. It’s an ideal place to relax, take photos, and appreciate the natural beauty of the region.
- Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba - Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba, also known as the “Healing Village,” is a beautifully reconstructed traditional Japanese village located on the shores of Lake Saiko. It’s a place where visitors can step back in time and experience the serene beauty of old Japan, with a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji as a backdrop.
Originally a farming village destroyed by a typhoon in 1966, it has been lovingly rebuilt with over 20 traditional thatched-roof houses. Each house has been transformed into a unique shop, gallery, or restaurant. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from trying on samurai armor or kimonos to participating in traditional craft workshops like pottery, weaving, and incense making. The village also features restaurants serving local cuisine, souvenir shops selling handmade goods, and museums detailing the area’s history. It’s a tranquil and picturesque spot, perfect for a peaceful stroll and a glimpse into a bygone era.
