Met up with Critical Eats Japan to climb some steep steps to get a gorgeous view of Mt. Fuji near Fujiyoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture. The Chureito Pagoda of Arakura Sengen Shrine is popular site for snapping photos of Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately, the best viewing spot was closed for renovations until March next year. Still we had great view of the mountain topped with a cloudy crown.
We went to Moose Hill Burger for some good grub after this:
