Identifing city (and buildings) below Mount Fuji

Identifing city (and buildings) below Mount Fuji - View of the City from Above

I have just received a paper folder for some documents, which has this beautiful photo in the back:

enter image description here

I assume, this is Mount Fuji. Can you help me identify city, that lays below (and it is pictured here), plus these four building marked on the photo?



Best Answer

The photo is taken from the grounds of Arakura Sengen Shrine in Fuji-Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan, and appears to be a crop of this image (not the original either, though).

The rightmost building appears to be the town hall. Not sure about the rest, but there are a bunch of large hotels and the Fuji-Q amusement park nearby that seem like likely candidates.

Answer 2

The bottommost building is labeled as ?????????? (Fujigoko Cultural Center) on Google Maps.

However, the official website of that cultural center http://www.mfi.or.jp/fcpa/access.htm tells us that the biggest building (which is probably the one you are interested in) is called ??????? (Fujisan Hall).

The same complex also hosts a city meeting hall and a library, conveniently referred to as ???????? and ????????? respectively.
