Enoshima
It's a tiny island at the tip of a sandbar that juts out to sea from a long sandy beach. It is known for its superb view of the sea of Shonan and Mt. Fuji.
Enoshima isn't too far from Tokyo and it's a really great spot to visit.

Arakurayama Sengen Park
Arakurayama Sengen Park is famous as a place to view the splendid scenery of the magnificent Mount Fuji with a pagoda dedicated to those who died in battle. Inside the park grounds, about 650 Sakura trees have been planted. In the spring, the picturesque Japanese scenery of cherry blossoms, the pagoda, and Mount Fuji can be seen.
There are over 400 steps, and the higher you climb, the better the view gets.

Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino
Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.
The water in the ponds is super clean and tastes really fresh and sweet. The little shops are also a lot of fun to browse.

Takaoka Kojo Park
This national historic site park is located in the heart of Takaoka City and is one of Japan's best moated parks. The park was built on the site of Takaoka Castle, which was built in 1609 by Toshinaga Maeda, the second head of the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, and the castle's stone walls still stand today.
Even though I came at the wrong season, the park is still beautifully maintained and very green.

Aeon Lake Town
Just about an hour by train from Tokyo, this massive shopping center is located right in front of Koshigaya Lake Town Station.
This place is huge! If you want to see everything, one day definitely isn't enough.
