Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan) is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 meters (12,389 ft). It’s an active stratovolcano, last erupting in 1707 (the Hōei eruption), and is one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks. A nearly symmetrical cone, making it one of the most photographed mountains in the world.
While exploring Mt. Fuji, Our first scenic spot was the Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine (新倉富士浅間神, Nīkura fujisengenjinja) from where you can get a close view of Mt. Fuji san and the temple, is a Shinto shrine in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, 130 km away from Central Tokyo, famous for its iconic view of Mount Fuji framed with the five-storied Chureito Pagoda.

How the Day was Started

Since we had a 3 hour drive, I woke up at 3 am and cooked mutton biriyani, chicken kebab, salad and vermicelli for our trip today. My husband packed them and loaded them into the car, and Shakib and I left from our home in Katsushika at 5:30 am. We picked up Mahabub and Bishwajit Dada from Shinjuku. Then we picked up Sagir.

1st view of Mount Fuji san

We started our journey by highway. While enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery of Yamanashi prefecture, we got our first glimpse of Mount Fuji. We must admit that we were lucky to see Fuji in clear weather.




Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

We reached the shrine around 9:15 am. We parked the car and climbed the stairs. at the base of Mount Arakurayama We got the temple to see Shinkura Fuji Asama Shrine. Also japamese ritual pieces were find.

A rack at a Japanese shrine or temple where Omikuji (おみくじ), or random fortune papers, are tied.

This chozuya is a place for purification, features a dragon statue from which water flows for ritual purification before entering the shrine.




The view of Mt. Fuji from the temple gate and the stairs are juts Marvelous. Now for reaching Chureito Pagoda You need to climb about 398 steps using staira from the base of the shrine. Or you can use slope path by walk along its tooked 20-30 min also wheelchair accessible.
