This iconic spot definitely is worth the hype in our opinion. The Chureito Pagoda is a five-storied pagoda located on a mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji in the distance. Built as a peace memorial in 1963, it offers stunning views of Mount Fuji, especially during cherry blossom season in mid-April and autumn color season in early November. Accessible via a short but steep walk from Shimo-Yoshida Station.
