The beach is also home to resident swans, offering unique opportunities for close-up interactions with nature.
Higashikawa Clock Shop
**Escape to the ‘Sky Ladder Town’**
Step into a serene streetscape straight out of a postcard. The iconic Higashikawa Clock Shop sits at the end of a quiet road that seems to stretch endlessly toward Mount Fuji, creating an illusion of **infinite proximity to the mountain** without ever reaching it. Perfect for those seeking tranquil, cinematic views.
Arakurayama Sengen Park

**Fuji’s Most Famous Convenience Store**
This Lawson isn’t your average stop for snacks—it’s a **selfie hotspot**! The store’s minimalist design and Fuji-facing windows create the ultimate backdrop for effortless “lazy Japanese aesthetic” photos, popularized as phone wallpapers worldwide.
**Highlight:** Quick snack + instant Instagram fame = win-win!
