The south region of the city of Fujiyoshida is called Shimoyoshida. Shimo means down or south.
The Nishiura District of the Shimoyoshida area in the city of Fujiyoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture is well-known for its nostalgic scenery of the Showa era. Here, you can see Mount Fuji and old shopping streets with power poles, overhead signs, cables and wires. And, you can enjoy coffee and meals at renovated cafes and restaurants, imagining a town that is stuck in time.

Mount Fuji was still hidden behind the thick clouds; therefore, I couldn’t see it from one of the popular picture-taking spots in the street.
