This one is SUPERB and it's one of my favorite. It really is uncommon and less popular among tourist. The perk for being unpopular is you can take many many photos without being disturbed by another tourist or overcrowded scenery. This pagoda is overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji off in the distance. In order to reach this place is not that hard too though, ride the fujikyu railway and go to the nearest station from chureito pagoda, Shimo-Yoshida Statiion. Walk about 1 km (including the stairs)-uh huh, maybe this is the one that make this place not that popular-and you will be arrived in the gate of Arakura Sengen Shrine. This is the gate for another stairs to chureito pagoda. please don't give up and hang in there a little more and you will be arrived in one of the best viewing spot of Mountain Fuji! The best time to visit this place is on spring and autumn. On Spring, there will be hundreds of Sakura trees in bloom, while it would be more colorful in autumn.

This one is good. It would be more colorful in spring or summer, as the plant and flower already bloom at that time. Even you go in another season, this one is still great. You can choose to stay in Ryokan nearby, and if you're lucky you could get the one which provided Mt. Fuji scenery right from its onsen! Choose the one that face to Mt. Fuji would be worth it although it would be more expensive than the one in town or the one that face to Kawaguchiko. This lake is the most easily accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes with train and direct bus connections to Tokyo. Sometimes the cloud could be blocked by the clouds, though. So the best time to enjoy it from the distance is before 9 AM even on a sunny day. You could have a better chance for its visibility during spring and summer.

No. Don't go to this place for mountain viewing. But if you want to know Mt. Fuji history, feel free to stop by  at a small museum with exhibits and a movie about it on the first floor. Or maybe you could grab some bite in a restaurant and enjoy the scenery of Mt. Fuji in an observation deck on the second floor. But I don't recommend this place, except you want to see the beauty of the mountain blocked by so many obstacles. Total NAH! Basically, this place is an information center for travelers to Mount Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes. So if you want to know about what lakes which is more into your preferences, feel free to gather the information from here. There is an information desk on the first floor too, and it provides details about climbing and weather conditions, as well as about tourist attractions around the mountain and Yamanashi Prefecture in general.

Witnessed the magnificent Mt. Fuji from distance. There're so many viewing spots to enjoy this scenery, and gotemba proof itself as one of the great spot to enjoy this kind of view. Other than that, you could buy so many branded items with special price. It doesn't mean that the price is low, but at least it's cheaper than the usual price. No worries as all the items are original but most of it are last season collection, so no wonder it has been sold in a bargain.
