Chureito pagoda
The five storied pagoda above Fujiyoshida is the classic shot. Trees here usually bloom in early to mid April, a week or so after Tokyo. Arrive at sunrise for clear skies and fewer people.
Lake Kawaguchiko
The northern shore around Ubuyagasaki and the Kawaguchiko cherry blossom festival offer trees, water and Fuji in one frame, usually in mid April.
Checking the view
Fuji hides in cloud on many spring days. Our sister site Mt Fuji Today shows live visibility and webcams so you can pick a clear morning before you travel.
