  Hikawa Clock Shop

  Important Update: Due to 2025 cherry blossom season traffic regulations (Apr 1-18), we'll skip the Hikawa Clock Shop to maximize your time at Arakurayama Park. The extended walk from parking makes this adjustment necessary. Next, you’ll visit the Shimoyoshida Tokei-ten Shop, a hidden gem at the foot of Mount Fuji. Here, you’ll discover the “Stairway to Heaven Town”, a quiet street that resembles a stairway to the sky, leading to the end of the road where you’ll find the elusive Mount Fuji. It’s a place where you can get incredibly close to the mountain, yet it seems just out of reach. You’ll capture the essence of Japanese streetscape and witness the seamless fusion of Mount Fuji with the street – a unique and picturesque experience. This spot is perfect for photography enthusiasts.
