Mount Fuji丨Yoshida City, at the foot of the mountain, is where you can see Mount Fuji when you look up
Yoshida City is a small town located at the foot of Mount Fuji. There are not as many tourists as Kawaguchiko, and it is as leisurely and beautiful as in Japanese comics. The town is located in front of Mount Fuji, and you can clearly see Mount Fuji wherever you look up.
📷Recommended check-in points:
1 🕰️Hikkawa Time Needle Store
The store is not the focus, but the road in front of the door. Looking at Mount Fuji from here, you can see the perfect combination of the streets of a Japanese town with a strong atmosphere of life and Mount Fuji, which is leisurely and atmospheric. It started to get dark at 6 pm, and the visibility of Mount Fuji began to decrease, so if you want to take pictures, you have to go earlier.
2 ⛩️ Fuji Asama
It is located on the mountain northwest of Yoshida Station, facing Mount Fuji. As you continue to climb, you can see Mount Fuji from multiple directions such as the bushes, the observation deck, the telescope, and the tower on the mountain. There are many people who check in during the mountaineering, and there are queues at various check-in points. It is recommended to reserve 1 hour.
3 ⛩️ 小 室 浅 间
This is not a popular attraction. It is located in the town of Yoshida City, not far from Shimoyoshida Station. The area is not large, but there are many locals. Various local activities are held from time to time, and various vendors will set up stalls inside, which is more like a local market.
4 🏯 Yoshida City Look up everywhere
Because the town is located at the foot of Mount Fuji, you can see Mount Fuji wherever you look up. Visit the second-hand stores and home furnishing stores, and have a cup of coffee and a simple meal when you are tired. When you are full and satisfied, stretch your body at the door of the store and find yourself facing Mount Fuji not far away. It feels very comfortable.
5 🏪 Lawson Kawaguchiko Station
This is not in Yoshida City. It is on the left side of Kawaguchiko Station, which is a must-go on the way back to Tokyo. It is more suitable for 15 minutes to check in. It is a very famous check-in point.
⚠️Notes:
1 The intersection in front of the Hikawa Tokiji Store is the main traffic artery of the town. There is a lot of traffic. Don't run red lights and pay attention to traffic rules.
2 The commercial atmosphere of the town is not that strong, so many cafes are closed around 4 o'clock, and almost all the shops in the town are closed at 7 o'clock. Arrange meals in advance. It is very hard to find food without street lights at 8 o'clock in the evening. (Although the local restaurants are really good)
3 Although it is a township, it is very clean and quiet. Don't litter or make loud noises. Be a civilized visitor.
4 The consumption level of the town is not low, equivalent to a second-tier city in China.
5 There are few convenience stores. Stock up on food near Kawaguchiko Station in advance.
