Yamanashi - Beautiful Nature and Mt. Fuji

Hello everyone. Today, I am going to talk about some sightseeing places in Yamanashi. You can see Mt. Fuji perfectly from there. I think Yamanashi is the best place to see Mt, Fuji in Japan. Therefore, I would like to introduce my recommended spots where you can see beautiful Mt. Fuji.

First, I went to Arakurayama Sengen Park (荒倉山浅間公園). The pagoda Gojunoto, is there. I could see Mt. Fuji and Gojunoto at the same time, which was really dramatic. The view is listed in Japan brochures, so it is really famous for tourists from other countries. However, I had to go up the 400 stairs to go that spot, so I was exhausted.

 

Next, my recommended spot to see Mt, Fuji is Lake Yamanaka (山中湖). The view of the large lake with beautiful Mt, Fuji was amazing. Also, this is a great place to exercise. You can do walking, running and cycling around the lake. I think doing a workout while seeing Mt. Fuji is a really nice experience.

 

There are other places nearby that you can enjoy too, like Heidi’s Village, Fuji-Q Highland, Narusawa Ice Cave, etc. In one trip, you can do and experience several things. Also, Yamanashi is not so far from Kanagawa. If you want to feel the air of nature, or you are tired by a lot of assignments and want to change your feeling, you should go there in your free time.
