Yoshida udon, a specialty of Fujiyoshida City, has gained national recognition. For local residents, this udon is a familiar dish at celebratory occasions such as weddings. The city is also located at a high altitude, so in winter it can get as cold as Hokkaido. However, this means that the temperature does not rise too much in summer, making it a comfortable place to live. Tourist attractions in the city include the Fujiyoshida Municipal Mount Fuji Radar Dome Museum, and leisure spots such as Fuji-Q Highland are well-known. City events include the Refle Fujiyoshida Spring Festival. Another notable feature is that many events include the character for Fuji.
