The ride takes about 15 minutes for one loop. The view is great—you can see Yokohama Port from up there. But be prepared for a long wait in line.

Shiraito Falls (Shizuoka Prefecture)
Located at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, Shiraito Falls is nationally designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty and a Natural Monument. It is also registered as part of the “Fujisan, Sacred Place and Source of Artistic Inspiration” World Cultural Heritage site. Hundreds of streams large and small cascade like strands of white silk from a curved cliff measuring 20 meters high and 150 meters wide. Fed by spring water from Mt. Fuji, the falls have a flow rate of up to 1.5 metric tons per second. They are the largest falls at the foot of Mt. Fuji.
Visiting in summer feels especially cool and refreshing. Every now and then, you can even spot a rainbow 🌈.

Shosenkyo Gorge
Shosenkyo is located in the northern part of Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and is called "the most beautiful gorge in Japan". You can see granite cliffs, strange rocks and stones carved out over a long period of time, and clear and abundant water flowing.
Steep cliffs and unique rock formations everywhere. The paths are easy to walk, making this a great spot for hiking and enjoying nature.

Murata Town Street with Kura (storehouses)
Murata, located between Sendai and Yamagata, used to flourish for a long time as a business town. The main product was Safflowers which is a convenient raw material for dyestuff and cosmetics.
This city was a bustling hub for merchants during the Edo period, connecting Yamagata and Sendai. It really thrived thanks to all the trading back then.
