Arakurayama Sengen Park (新倉山浅間公園, Arakurayama-Sengen-Kōen) is a block park located at 3353 Arakura, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Installed in October 1959. Located on the hillside of Mount Arakura (Japanese: 新倉山), it covers an area of about 4.3 hectares.

It is popular as a famous scenic spot where you can see Mount Fuji, a red five-story pagoda, and cherry blossom trees at a glance. Sangoku Daiichisan Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine (Japanese: 三國第一山新倉富士浅間神社) is enshrined, and Mount Arakura is a sacred area. There are about 650 cherry blossoms (Prunus × yedoensis) and a memorial tower for the war dead in the park.
