Explore Fujiyoshida

Mt. Fuji can be seen from every corner of the city of Fujiyoshida, which is right on the legendary mountain’s doorstep. Its many attractions include the city’s symbol Kintorii (Golden Gate), the fifth station and starting point for climbing Fuji, the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, and chewy Yoshida udon noodles. In the Edo-period culture of worshipping Fuji, "oshi" Shinto priests would provide lodging and hospitality in their homes for people who came from across the country. Houses of these hosts still remain in the city, taking you back hundreds of years. You can also enjoy nostalgic nightspots in the city’s Nishiura district.
