Yanaka Fujimizaka Slope 富士見坂（西日暮里）

A narrow residential slope in Nishi-Nippori that was once famous as the last natural Mount Fuji view in central Tokyo, still a lovely sunset frame.

About

Fujimizaka runs down from the Suwa Shrine ridge in Nishi-Nippori 3-chome, and from the top you look straight down the slope westward. Until 2013 Mount Fuji could be seen at the end of the view, before a new building blocked it, but the slope itself, with its low houses, stone walls and the setting sun at the bottom, is still a beautiful and nostalgic composition. Stand near the top and shoot down the slope at sunset. It is a residential street: no tripods blocking the slope, keep quiet in the evening and do not photograph residents.

Highlights

• Steep residential slope facing the sunset
• A piece of Tokyo history: the lost Fuji view
• Old-town atmosphere next to Yanaka
• Combine with Yuyake Dandan and Suwa Shrine

Tips

• Come around sunset for the best light.
• Mount Fuji is no longer visible here; enjoy it for the slope and sky.
• Walk on to Yuyake Dandan in a few minutes.
