Yurikamome
The Yurikamome is a fully automated transit line connecting Shimbashi (Minato-ku) to Toyosu (Kōtō-ku). Its official name is the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line, but it is widely known by its nickname “Yurikamome.” The 14.7 km line links 16 stations across Tokyo’s bay area.
It feels really futuristic, but the train cars are actually a bit cramped. If you have luggage, you’ll need to find a good spot to stand.
Homangu Kamado Jinja
Kamado Jinja is a shrine with over 1350 years of history. It enshrines Tamayori-hime, who has been worshipped as a kami (Shinto god) of marriage since ancient times.
To reach the upper shrine, you need to start from the trailhead and walk along the Kyushu Nature Trail. The hike isn't too tough, and if you visit during the autumn leaves season, it's truly beautiful!
Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino
Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.
The food sold here is really tasty. You can enjoy delicious snacks while taking in the beautiful spring water and the view of Mt. Fuji.
