Fuji Hokuroku Park, athletics Station located in Japan
Fuji Hokuroku Park is a large sports park in Fujiyoshida with open fields, walking paths, and quiet areas to relax. The space features multiple viewpoints that offer clear sightlines of Mount Fuji and the surrounding landscape, with wide spaces for jogging, picnics, and outdoor play.
The park was established many years ago as a place for residents and visitors to enjoy outdoor recreation and nature. It gained wider recognition as the starting point of the annual Mt. Fuji Hill Climb, one of Japan's largest cycling races held each June.
The name reflects the park's deep connection to the local region and its traditions. Today, visitors gather here for seasonal celebrations and cherry blossom picnics, making it a space where the community comes together for shared moments.
The park sits about 15 minutes by taxi from Mt. Fuji Station on the Fujikyuko Line, and is easily accessible by car with the Kawaguchiko Interchange on the Chuo Expressway roughly 8 minutes away. Parking is available on-site, and early morning or evening hours offer the clearest views of the mountain.
The park serves as the starting point for the Mt. Fuji Hill Climb, a cycling race that stretches 25 kilometers up to the 5th Station and draws thousands of riders from across Japan and beyond each year. The event day often includes a special talk show where cyclists and fans share stories, creating an engaging experience for everyone interested in cycling.
