  • Chureito Pagoda is a five storied structure overlooking Mount Fuji.  The pagoda is a part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine.  To get there requires climbing 400 steps up the mountain from the main building of the shrine below. Apart from it's role as a tourist attraction, Chureito is also a meaningful monument of peace.  It's official name is Fujiyoshida Cenotaph Monument.  It was ordered to be built by the mayor of Fujiyoshida as a memorial for the 960 local citizens who died in all of the wars after 1868: the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, World War I and II.  The pagoda is thus a meaningful monument in the area and has become an increasingly popular destination for tourists in the Fuji Five Lakes Area.

  • 45. Mt Fuji 富士 or Fuji-san as it is called in Japan is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 meters or 12,388 feet in altitude.  Mt Fuji is an active volcano that last erupted in 1707 killing hundreds of people and started fires as far away as Tokyo.  By most counts, Fuji is due for another eruption as its cycle appears to be every 300 years. Fuji straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo from where it can be seen on a clear day. Mount Fuji's symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and is frequently visible in works of art.  Although Mount Fuji has not erupted in over 300 years it's still not extinct.
