Honcho Street (Mt Fuji View) — Attraction in Fujiyoshida

Honcho Street offers some nice views of Mount Fuji, especially from certain vantage points along the street. The atmosphere is lively, with various shops and eateries that cater to tourists. However, the area feels quite touristy, and it wasn't really our cup of tea.

While there are several shops selling souvenirs and local snacks, many of the offerings seem geared towards visitors rather than providing an authentic Japanese experience. The restaurants, while decent, lacked the depth of local cuisine we were hoping to find.

That said, the views of Mount Fuji are impressive and make for great photo opportunities. If you enjoy a bustling street atmosphere and don’t mind the touristy vibe, it can be an enjoyable stop. I would recommend taking a leisurely stroll to soak in the scenery, but keep in mind that the experience may feel more commercialized than immersive. Overall, Honcho Street has its charms, but the lack of authentic options made it a less satisfying...

As far as i know this is just a public street but with an awesome and majestic view of fuji san.

We accidentally ventured into a similar looking street with the view and thats how we found out about honcho street. So today since we are free and we do have our own ride here we just took a quick drive there. Not manyy cars, there were ppl but gathered sparingly at different intersections.

Its a loong roadddd, single lane left and right with many intersections, so you definitely will have to capture the view either by car (but for front passangers only, i was sitting at the back so viewing directly was awesome but pictures didnt do justice)

Saw also a few who took the opportunity to stand in the middle of the road when the lights are red. Dangerous but i think its awesome lol

It is a nice street to photograph if you have an actual camera with a zoom lens. It is however, very very crowded.. and you will cringe at everyone trying to pose and disrupt traffic for their own selfish picture. There were 3 traffic police guys there constantly shouting at people to get of the road, and people not listening to their commands. Secondhand embarrasment all the time.

My opnion, its a fun thing to visit and make a picture of the street itself. If you are going to the pagoda nearby especially. But don't get your hopes up for posing in the middle of the street. We were here on a thursday at 10 am and it was...
