Arakurayama Sengen Park, Buddhist park in Fujiyoshida, Japan

The park features a five-story pagoda set against Mount Fuji, with 650 cherry trees decorating the slopes of Mount Arakura.

Established in October 1959, the Chureito Pagoda within the park commemorates soldiers who died in wars between 1868 and 1945.

The park forms part of the designated '100 Scenes with Mount Fuji' collection, representing traditional Japanese landscape composition.

Visitors need to climb 398 steps to reach the main observation point, with the park offering free parking for 100 vehicles from 8:00 to 17:00.

The five-story pagoda receives illumination during specific seasons, creating a distinct silhouette against Mount Fuji until 22:00.
