The charm of Mount Fuji weddings changes with the seasons

Mount Fuji, one of Japan's most iconic mountains, is a place whose charm changes with the seasons, not just in the amount of snow that accumulates on the Mount Fuji, but also in the Mount Fuji environment.

Different flowers bloom around Mount Fuji with each season, and you can see different spectacular views depending on the time of year you visit, such as cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and snowscapes.

If you are planning to visit Japan for your honeymoon or want to take wedding photos in Japan, why not try taking your photos in the Mount Fuji area? You will be able to take photos that will remain in your memory forever, along with the beautiful scenery that is so typical of Japan.

Recommended spots for Mt. Fuji wedding photos

There are many scenic spots around Mount Fuji. Here we will introduce 6 carefully selected spots.

1. Arakurayama Sengen Park

Arakurayama Sengen Park is a popular spot where you can take photos of two symbols of Japan, Mount Fuji and the five-story pagoda, all at once. Another attraction is the changing scenery with the seasons, from cherry blossoms in spring to autumn leaves in autumn.

From around 10 a.m., Mount Fuji will be backlit, so be careful about the timing of your photo. Also, if the weather is bad, you may not be able to see Mount Fuji, so it's important to decide the timing of your photo based on the weather and time of day.

The photo spot you often see in advertisements where Mount Fuji, the five-story pagoda, and cherry blossoms all come together is taken from a location near Chureito Pagoda, but you have to climb about 400 steps from the parking lot, and it's a popular spot for tourists, so it's a little difficult to take wedding photos there. However, there are other photo spots within the park, and it's a beautiful spot where you can take traditional Japanese photos, so it's worth discussing with your photographer and giving it a try.

If you'd like to request a special photo shoot like this one from a professional photographer, try the on-location photography session service " Capture My Japan ." If you use the coupon code "MCM-23425" when applying, you can get a 5% discount on your photo shoot with a professional photographer!

Preparation and precautions for shooting

When photographing weddings, preparation is important.

First, decide on a location for your shoot. In many facilities in Japan, you will need to apply for a photography permit in advance for wedding photography. You may also need to pay an application fee to the location, so it is essential to check with the location in advance.

Costumes are essential for wedding photography, and many people bring stylish dresses and slacks for women and men, respectively, to Japan in advance. It is also possible to rent dresses and suits in Japan. However, when renting a dress, you will often have to dress yourself, in which case you will need to change at the hotel and then travel to the photoshoot. Alternatively, you can use a rental room near the photoshoot location.
