Japan Tourist Attractions Destination: Mount Fuji Cherry Blossom Travel Guide

Introduction: Japan Most Famous Tourist Destination Of Mount Fuji Travel Guide

While waiting for dawn, the symbol of Japan rises above the ground as the highest mountain range in the country. As it has a very peculiar roof-like geometrical structure of a cone and belongs to the famous seven wonders of the world, the statistical figure of tourists visiting Mount Fuji can be estimated at millions. All in all, being a keen traveler, I had a fabulous experience being at Mount Fuji and enjoyed some intriguing moments. These are five places that I will explore around Mt. Fuji that I found most impactful:

1. Chureito Pagoda: Love Is A Picture Perfect View:

I started my journey with the Chureito Pagoda, with the beauty of Mt. Fuji in the backdrop. The pagoda is situated in Arakurayama Sengen Park, where guests turn to create memorable shoots to capture more pictures of the area than anywhere else, especially with the blossoming cherry trees. Japan is one of the most best country for travel in  Asian countries. The pagoda was quite up a tower with 400 stairs, but the view we saw made the conquer very worthy. The scenery experienced at the summit was not one to be missed; it was simply breathtaking. The place was quiet, and I think that’s what I like about the place. The view is so beautiful, and I think the above place is one of the best I have visited.

2. Lake Kawaguchi: Thus, a Scenic Retreat:

Next, I went to Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes and the famous site for the tremendously attractive view of the complementary tourist attraction, Mount Fuji. The lake is covered and provides a lot of visitors with recreational amenities as well as services. After that, I decided to spend some time on the boat on the lake, which turned out to be a great way to get a different angle of Mount Fuji. One spectacular scene was the reflection of the peak on parts of the river, and depending on the waves, the water resembled a mirror in the sense that it was fascinating. I also walked around the lakeside, which offered a pleasant walk and beautiful places to visit with cafes and souvenir shops. To enhance the grasping power of concepts by the users, it was indeed inspiring to be with the statue located at the shrine. The noble cedars that girdled the path that led to the main hall were grand, majestic, and somewhat spooky.

3. Temizuya:

The menorah/Ba’amah was placed in the timing of a traditional purification ritual at the temizuya, where the visitors wash their hands and mouths before getting into the shrine. The carvings on the doors and windows of the shrine buildings were elaborate, and the architectural designs of the shrines were stunning and showed the profound cultural heritage of Japan. There were also walking lanes and courtyards on the shrine’s territory, which helped people enjoy magnificent views of the place and rest from the noise of everyday life.

4. Aokigahara Forest: It embraces the Sea of Trees.

Aokigahara Forest is a widely popular and extensive forest on the north-western side. The forest has an other-worldly appearance as it is in a volcanic area and has been shaped by the lava from eruptions on Mount Fuji; it is also regarded as a site that contains sequins due to the references to it in ghost stories and legends. Visiting Aokigahara was quite curious and kind of like a fairy tale scene. The thick stroke of paint also ensures that the forest has numerous trails, which makes it more mysterious and adventurous. During my visit to this forest, I merged myself with a guide who made me aware of the history of the forest, its geographical structure, and the legendary tales associated with it. Part of the tour involved the exploration of the Narusawa Ice Cave and the Fugaku Wind Cave, where they could see marvelous formations of ice on the ground as well as the natural tunnels of lava. Still, as a place of internet legends, Aokigahara is a very beautiful forest situated in the region of Mount Fuji with volcanic features.

5. Oshino Hakkai: Thus, the eight sacred ponds were created.

The last place I visited was Oshino Hakkai, between Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka, which contains eight transparent ponds that supply water from Mount Fuji’s melt. It is known that these ponds are sacred places, and people used to visit these ponds as pilgrims. The time I spent in Oshino Hakkai was as if I had left in the past and seen the future at the same time. It gives a picturesque view of rural South Konohana with its native thatch houses and preserved nature. The eight ponds were amazing; each had different characteristics, the water was clean, and I was even able to see the fish and plants thriving in the waters. Amidst the mountainous region of Japan, the surroundings were also relaxed and beautiful because of the presence of Mount Fuji. I get to taste the local foods from the village market, like the fresh wasabi paste and the grilled fish, to make my experience realistic. The place itself was calm and naturally beautiful, as well as historically filled, which was a perfect ending to my conquering of Mount Fuji.

Conclusion: Why You Need to Visit Japan Mount Fuji ?

It was a wonderful experience to visit different places around Mount Fuji. It was as if I was seeing the beauty of the natural world, tradition, and faith all at once. From the time the team visited Chureito Pagoda to capture perfect shots of the landmark with Mount Fuji in the background to a tranquil boat ride on Lake Kawaguchi, which also offers a clear view of Mount Fuji and its merits, including its mystique, The cloud quality of Fujisan Sengen Shrine, the eerie darkness of Aokigahara Forest, and the picturesque beauty of Oshino Hakkai were the final experiences that made enlightenment occur and gave me more appreciation of Japan’s natural and cultural gems.
