[Music] MF Travels presents day four of our Japan 2023 exploration. First up is Eat Breakfast. Make sure you watch day 1, 2, and three on our YouTube channel or on the description below. [Music] We just arrived at Charedo Pagod. Looking forward for the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji. [Music] Hello. Mount Fuji. And it’s quite a hike to get up there. Thank you. Look at my background. It’s Mount Fuji. Let’s go. We’re going to go all the way to the top. Check this out. Mount Fuji’s right there. That’s cool. Damn. And a few more steps to get up there. [Music] Let’s go. Let’s go. We got super lucky that the weather was clear and Mount Fuji wasn’t hiding. [Music] Mount Fuji. Yeah. [Music] Super cool. Shareda Pagota is a stunning five-story pagod located in Fuji Yoshida City, Japan. It offers breathtaking views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding landscape, especially during cherry blossom and autumn seasons. [Music] Blue jeans behind us and we hear beautiful music. Yes. [Music] You’ll be happy no matter what purpose you’re going there for. Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, or a cultural enthusiast, Chara Pagoda is an unmissable attraction for everyone. It’s better if you avoid busy weekends and holiday seasons. So plan your visit early in the morning or weekdays Monday to Friday to avoid crowds. You’ll have a better experience with fewer people but more enjoyment. [Music] We are so glad that Tita Nelli was with us to drive us to Sharedo Pagod [Music] Fuji. [Music] Beautiful. [Music] This is a climb to see the pagod. [Music] We’re almost there, too. Almost there. On Fuji speaking. There are some travel tips for visiting Charedo Pagota. Number one, wear comfortable shoes. The climb involves about 400 steps. Number two, check the weather. Cloudless, clear skies offer the best views of Mount Fuji. Number three, keep snacks and water. Facilities near the Pagota are limited. And number four, arrive early. Beat the crowds and enjoy serene views. [Music] machine. Check this out. Nice. Couldn’t get enough. So, I took a lot of pictures here, as you could tell. [Music] Fuji. There’s a little bit of cherry blossoms there. [Music] Cherry blossom. This [Music] And we’re on our way down. Hi. Hello. Hello. And you might come across wild monkeys on the loose. Monkeys. Japanese monkeys. [Music] monkey. [Music] After all that climbing, we got super hungry. So, it’s now time for lunch. Lunch time. This right here is a revolving sushi bar. Okay. Okay. [Music] Okay. Tokyo. After lunch, we went to Arakura Fuji Sangen Shrine and we’re going to take a walk. Supposed to drink from this dragon. So, you take this and then you drink from it. That’s how you do it. A beautiful shrine with nearly 300 cherry blossom trees and striking red Tory gate. Today, locals and those afar visit the shrine to ward off evil, to pray for family happiness and safe child birth. In the spring, the cherry blossom trees bloom and crowds gather to enjoy the stunning view of Mount Fuji. Oh, do you want to come? Next stop is Lake Kawakuchiko. [Music] sound effects. And that was supposed to be the Titanic sound effects. Mount Fiju. Mount Fiju. Mount Fuji. No. Mount Fiji. Mount Fuji. Apple. Feed Fiju. Wow. Look at this. So nice. The best views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from the lakes’s northern shores and are particularly breathtaking during the cherry blossom season around midappril and the autumn colors around the first half of November. One of the nicest spots for cherry blossoms is the seaside prominade near the Kawaguchiko music forest. [Music] Pretty cool sunset shot, right? Next stop is the Mount Fuji Radar Dome Museum. We’re here in Tokyo Dome Museum. Super cool. This house is where Kuya Jon and Aimaki used to live. [Music] Next stop is the Oshino Hakai Village. This small village is a pretty retreat no matter what time of year you visit. Like this one right here. There are many local specialties here and also a variety of gifts and souvenirs as well as snacks. So, make sure you get them accordingly. Finishing the day off with some relaxation at Sudu Onsen. Well folks, that was our day four. Stay tuned for day five. Book your travels with me, MF Travels. We’ll see you on the next one.
Mount Fuji is located on the island of Honshu, Japan, marking the border between the Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, approximately 100 km (60 miles) southwest of Tokyo. As Japan’s highest mountain and an iconic symbol of the country, this majestic volcano is a prominent feature of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and a popular tourist attraction.
The Chureito Pagoda is an iconic, five-story pagoda and a major viewpoint offering breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Fuji and Fujiyoshida City. Located within the grounds of the Arakura Sengen Shrine, this popular site is reached after climbing approximately 400 steps, though a less steep ramp is available for those with mobility issues. Entry is free, and the pagoda is particularly popular during the spring for its cherry blossoms and in autumn for its fall foliage.
