Iconic Pagoda with Unbeatable View

Make a guess, how many flight of stairs did we climb to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji? 400! It is an arduous journey (to those who don't climb stairs very much) vertically up but the panoramic view from the top is worth every step. Alternatively, you can go up the Pagoda by car if you don't want to climb but I suggest to enjoy the view of Mt.Fuji while going up the stone steps if you can. Chureito Pagoda is a very popular tourist destination, especially during the cherry blossom season and autumn. It is spectacular (even without the view of Mount Fuji) and every shot you take is Instagrammable. Historically, it is built in 1963 as a peace memorial to commemorate the people of Fujiyoshida who died in wars and gradually become a popular spot for photographers and tourists. This is a must-visit if you are in Tokyo! Getting There - From Tokyo, you can take a train to get to the Pagoda. It takes about 3 hours and costs 2500 yen (SGD$25). You can also travel by car and there is free parking lot near the Pagoda.
