My favorite cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan, and my second favorite Mt. Fuji viewing spot!
Budget: JPY5,500 (~USD)
- JPY5,500. Tokyo < > Shimoyoshida Station (JPY2,750 one way)
Visit Date- Spring visit: April 8, 2018
- Winter visit: January 2, 2019
When to GoFor beautiful cherry blossoms, around end of March to early April. But this is variable, so make sure to check the latest instagram pictures. I couldn't find a live camera/status site. There is also a LONG line to the view of the pagoda with Mt. Fuji in the background.
For clear view of Mt. Fuji, winter is the best season to go (Dec to Feb).
For autumn colors, I believe Kawaguchiko area sees the full red colors around late November.
Special Notes- Google maps pin.
- Google maps work so just follow that.
- Nearest station is Shimoyoshida station, but still, it's a 1.1km walk.
- The path is pretty straightforward (using google maps), and there is a couple minutes worth of stairs.
- When I went there the entrance was free.
Itinerary- Pretty flexible, so let me just share my pictures.
