Fujiyoshida City Covered by Full of Snow

The Chureito Pagoda is a five storied pagoda on the mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji off in the distance. The pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was built as a peace memorial in 1963 nearly 400 steps up the mountain from the shrine's main buildings. The location offers spectacular views of Mount Fuji in combination with the pagoda. Not only amazing during the cherry blossom season in mid April when there are hundreds of trees in bloom or during the autumn color season which usually takes place in the first half of November. The spot is particularly popular among photographers at winter as it allows for some wonderfully stereotypical shots of Japan. To get here we can go by train or by bus or driving car by yourself. By train Arakura Sengen Shrine is a ten minute walk from Shimo-Yoshida Station along the Fujikyu Railway Line (35 minutes, 980 yen from Otsuki or 10 minutes, 310 yen from Kawaguchiko). The pagoda is an additional five minute walk up the hill. By bus The Mount Fuji World Heritage Loop bus serves the Chureito Iriguchi bus stop which is a short walk from Arakura Sengen Shrine. From Kawaguchiko Station, the bus ride takes about 15 minutes, while the ride back to Kawaguchiko Station takes about 45 minutes. Buses operate every 90 minutes, please pay attention with the schedule. #guidebook #pindlefamily #pindleindonesia #japan #chureito #pagoda #pindle #dank_arif #beautifuldestinations #wonderfulplaces #yamanashi #fujiyoshida #photography #spotphotojapan
