Arakurayama Sengen Park is one of the world-famous viewing spots of Mount Fuji.

Built as a peace memorial to commemorate the war dead, Chureito Pagoda is known worldwide as a prominent viewing spot of Mount Fuji. It creates a spectacular scenery in autumn when the cherry trees change to fall colors. In addition to springtime, the view of the pagoda and Mount Fuji during the foliage season is also very popular.
