When l was told we were visiting a a castle, grey blocks of stone came to mind( l clearly wasn’t thinking logically) I was amazed to see this massive, towering wooden structure before me! Yes Japanese castles are made from wood. They have moats and tiny narrow windows for firing weapons out of and other familiar features but l have to say they are quite different from the English versions. They have a hidden extra floor that you cannot see from outside, this is just one unfamiliar feature! We were put into groups of 5 or less and shown round by retirees who were practicing their English, what a wonderful idea! Our guide was very amusing!! A word of warning, there are lots of steps inside, some of them steep! But make the effort, it’s well worth it!!

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.

This is rebuilt traditional Japanese style village on hill (destroyed from mud slide). Almost every home change to shops and restaurants. One home show history of this village during mud slide disaster. Two home have traditional Japanese warm table and art show. Mt Fuji view is very beautiful.

It is a laid back town with a traditional feel. A lot of interesting things to see. Great place to shop, eat, rest and take pictures. Met a few elderly shop owners who took great pride in the things that they were selling. They were enthusiastic in introducing their products but not pushy in making sales.
