# Chureito Pagoda (Arakurayama Sengen Park)

That view of the pagoda and Mt. Fuji is earned on the Sakuya-hime Stairs, 398 stone steps that take about 15 minutes at a slow pace. One toddler family called it a bit of a workout, especially in a baby carrier, but worth the view. Small legs tire sooner: one boy who ran up the first stretch asked to be carried before halfway. A gentler sloped path runs beside the steps, and soft-serve stalls sit near the entrance. So plan it around your child's energy.

- Area: Yamanashi
- Type: Play
- Hours: The park can be walked at any hour of the day.
