Kuon-ji Temple

Reviewed By VinnyP1 - London, United Kingdom

We loved this temple. We found it almost by accident. On the day we visited it was busy with hundreds of Buddhist students having graduation photos taken. But after they left it was quiet and peaceful. Its a working temple but everyone is incredibly friendly. We bumped into the head monk who took pity on our lack of Japanese and explained many things to us. There is a ropeway Aka cable car to the summit where you get spectacular 360 views including of course Mount Fuji if you are lucky. There is also a cafe up there with OK food but an amazing view. Highly recommended for a good couple of hours at least.

Nakanokura Pass Observation Point

The Nakanokura Toge Mountain Pass Observatory is located on the northern shore of Lake Motosuko, and in good weather visitors can view the picturesque scene of Mount Fuji reflected on the surface of the lake. In fact, the 1,000 yen bill was designed based on this scene, a picture taken by renowned photographer Koyo Okada entitled "Lake Side in Spring". From the parking lot, it is about a 30-minute walk up the mountain trail to the observation deck. Access: About 25km from Kawaguchiko InterChange on the Chuo Expressway. Parking for 20 cars (free)
