The Chureito Pagoda (忠霊塔, Chūreitō) is a five storied pagoda overlooking Mount Fuji off in the distance. The pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was built as a peace memorial in 1963. You have to climb 398 steps so make sure you wear comfy shoes! Free admission.

The location offers spectacular views of Mount Fuji in combination with the pagoda. Best time to come is especially during the cherry blossom season in mid April when there are hundreds of trees in bloom and during the autumn color season, usually takes place in the first half of November.
