Pagoda with nice view

The shrine itself is not the main attraction there. No one is allowed inside so most tourists go for the view of Mount Fuji while locals hike up for daily exercise,

Amazing Views, Free Parking, You Can Drive To The Top

This place was breathtaking. We arrived late at night in December 2018 when the temperature was about -2 degree Celsius. We slept in the car in the parking lot near the pagoda (bundled up with clothes and blankets). There was a clean bathroom nearby. We...More

Amazing pagoda

The location is the reason to visit. Probably one of the most photographed pagodas in Japan, with Mt Fuji in the background. A very steep climb of 400 steps, or a slightly less steep track to one side. About 15-20 mins walk from Shimoyoshida rail...More

Great little place to visit

Unfortunately we arrived when it was cloudy and rainy so were unable to view Mt. Fuji. We had a delightful late afternoon walk up the stairs to the pagoda and then took the winding path down through the forest. Very invigorating walk, probably absolutely gorgeous...More

long climb

enjoyed the climb great exercise. However so annoying many people just stood there and blocked the view so others couldn't get to see the view... Walk higher up the hill to get a better view.. glad there was toilet near by.

Seeing is believing

All I can say is that this place is the most photographed location in Japan for good reason. Every year, thousands of people make the steep hike up of about 400 steps just to get that picture perfect moment of Mt Fuji with the beautiful...More

Get your cliché picture of Japan here.

One of the best place to get a view at Fujisan. Just 400 small steps up the hill, and you’ll get the picture perfect view of the beautiful snow-capped Fuji right in front of you. Advisable to go before sun rise. Not so many people...More

Awesome view, even if cloudy

This is a place worth seeing. We arrived to Kawaguchi in a foggy day and Mt. Fuji was hidden, but still decided to go. The view of the pagoda, the city, the trees and everything is so beautiful. You have to be prepared to climb...More

Do you know approx. how long of a trip this is from Tokyo - can this be done in one day? I was looking at transportation from Shinjuku and I calculated roughly 3 hours just to get there - not including the hike up to the pagoda.

Yes! It can be done, you can catch a bus really early (around 6:30 am) from Shinjuku. Arrive to kawaguchiko station and then catch a train to Shiniyoshida Station. Then go back to kawaguchiko station and go back to Tokyo. I... More

It is pretty much impossible to detemine the fog condition until the day of your visit. From my previous visit in the morning (around 9am) I had to wait around 1 hour up in the mountain for the fog to clear to get a decent... More
