Description
Mount Fuji appears from the town of Yoshida — now part of Fujiyoshida City in Yamanashi — one of the historic gateway towns at the foot of the mountain where pilgrims assembled before beginning the ascent. The view from Yoshida looks directly up the Fuji flank along the ancient climbing route, giving it a more intimate and vertical quality than lake views. Kasamatsu may show the mountain framed by the town's buildings or by the tall cedars of the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen shrine approach.
