Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fujiyoshida sits at Mount Fuji’s northern foot. Start with a viewpoint park or shrine; a town outing is separate from climbing the mountain.

This guide covers places within Fujiyoshida, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Torii and steps on the lower shrine approach01

A first-visit stop

Arakurayama Sengen Park

新倉山浅間公園

Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine

Keep your first walk simple

Try Shimoyoshida station area → Arakurayama Sengen Park. Check steps and crowd guidance; the upper viewpoint is optional. Plan the other shrine separately.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
