#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Review Honcho Street (Mt Fuji View) 🗻🏙️ Address: Honcho, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan 📍 (Near Shimoyoshida Station, about 5-15 minutes walk) Atmosphere/Location: Honcho Street, also known as "Fuji Michi", is a shopping street in Fujiyoshida City that has become a popular photo spot on social media 📸 because of the view of Mt. Fuji standing tall as a backdrop. 🗻 The atmosphere of the street is full of Showa retro vibes with colorful shop signs, lamps and electric wires across the street. 🏮⚡️ Which adds charm to photos that blend the city and nature perfectly. 🌄 This street is both a shopping and residential area, so it is bustling with small shops, cafes and restaurants. ☕🍜 Walking here gives you a feeling like you are in a real Japanese city. But if there are a lot of people (Especially tourists) It can be a bit chaotic 😅 Highlights: - Amazing Fuji view: Mt. Fuji view from Honcho Street is one of the best angles, especially when standing at the intersection at the end of the street 🛣️ Fuji looks so big and close, like you can touch it! 📷 It is recommended to use a zoom lens (85mm or more) to make Fuji stand out ✨ - Retro street: The shops are decorated with old-style signs and lanterns, there are cute cafes like FabCafé Fuji that are perfect for chilling ☕ and textile shops, Fujiyoshida has been famous for its textile industry for over 1,000 years 🧵 - Near famous places: It is a 20-minute walk to Chureito Pagoda 🏯, which is another beautiful spot for taking pictures of Fuji. Average price per person: - Street walking: Free 🎉 - Coffee/drinks at the cafe: 400-800 yen (about 95-190 baht) ☕ - Food (such as Yoshida udon or beef rice): 800-1,500 yen (about 190-360 baht) 🍲 - Bus fare from Shinjuku to Shimoyoshida: 1,750-1,950 yen (about 420-470 baht) 🚍 Score: 4.5/5 ⭐ Honcho Street is a must-visit spot for photography lovers who want to see Fuji from a unique angle. 🗻 The combination of retro streets and volcano views makes this place super charming. 😍 Perfect for a stroll and immersing yourself in local culture. A small deduction because the view of Fuji depends on the weather. (There may be clouds) and sometimes it is so crowded that you have to be careful of cars 🚗 It is recommended to come early in the morning (8:00-8:45) for beautiful light and fewer people 🙌 Don't forget to take pictures from the sidewalk for safety! Tips: - Check the weather or watch Mt. Fuji Live Stream before coming because Fuji may be hidden in the clouds ☁️ - The best photo spot is the intersection at the end of the road near Koike Optical 🏪 Wait for the green light before crossing the road to take a picture 📷 - Try walking around the alleys next to Honcho Street because some places have equally beautiful views of Fuji!
