“I wonder how Mt. Fuji is looking today… better check at Honmachi 2-chome intersection.”

This is the best place in Shimoyoshida to take an Insta-worthy picture of Mt. Fuji, besides Chureito Pagoda.

Aside from its social media fame, it’s also the only spot on Honmachi Street where you can snap a picture from the safety of the side of the road.

It’s a quiet shopping district now, but the intersection was once crowded with many people. In fact, it may have been known as a spectacular spot in Fujiyoshida for a long time. However, the people living in the shopping district would never have imagined that their humble view of Mt. Fuji would one day become known around the world.
