Constructed in 1963, the Chureito Pagoda is a peace memorial and a popular destination in the Fuji Five Lakes area. It stands five stories high and is a part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine complex. It offers majestic views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding nature.

Our local contact, Mr. Horiuchi, mentioned that there are no real private areas at the pagoda and access is only via shuttle from a public parking area. You are not able to drive up to the pagoda in personal vehicles.
