Top 50 things to do and attractions in Kofu

Beautiful falls and rock formations, only a short hike to the shops and restaurants on top.

This is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy the autumn leaves in Yamanashi. If you visit Yamanashi for momiji season, I highly recommend stopping by this spot in Kofu.

Really beautiful place to visit if you're into hiking or sightseeing. Unfortunate that autumn was not in full yet but beautiful nonetheless.

Lovely waterfall tucked here! We took a small bus to the top of the mountain and walked down, and i really reccommend that route as it is less tiring. But you can also decide to hike! Theres a lot of tiny waterfalls along the way and the nature surrounding this area is just gorgeous!

Fantastic autumn foliage and nice scenic walk from "taki-ue" stop

Really nice hiking area with multiple lots of free parking. All of the main paths are paved so it is more like a walk rather than a hike. Their are also vending machines, restrooms and food stalls along the path. Best to arrive in the morning to beat most of the crowds. Also, there is a lot of construction on the way up and down the mountain, just be prepared.

I went on a rainy day in mid November, which is the perfect time to go because the autumn maple leaves look amazing! The hike could have been marked better with more English assistance, but otherwise it was pretty easy. The green line bus is reasonably priced, but comes about once an hour, so be careful about your return. I would highly recommend this hike!

I visited by bicycle. Since there wasn't a designated bike parking area, a security guard kindly directed me to a place where I could park. The road to Takeda Shrine has a steady uphill slope. The shrine grounds are very well-maintained, making for a pleasant walk.

Interesting historic site a lovely 3km walk from the Kofu JR station. Small and well-kept but nothing spectacular. There is a museum just 100m away from the shrine which can be visited for free for the regular exhibits. Do visit if you have the time but may not worth coming here especially for the shrine.

Takeda Shrine is a compelling mix of spiritual serenity, historical intrigue, and cultural heritage, offering a unique glimpse into the life of one of Japan's greatest samurai.

During my early college years, I had to do a report on Takeda Shingen. Years later on this day, I had the honor of visiting a shrine dedicated to him. The shrine has an array of Shingen theme charms and you can even purchase a small scale size of his banner. Unfortunately the Shingen museum was closed due some renovations, but artifacts site was open and there were plenty of historic displays including katanas, kabutos, scrolls, and banner used in battle.

Must visit here if you come to kofu. A city full of takeda seal (The red diagonal diamond). From the station you need to either walk 2.1km up a slop or take a bus @190yen per person just outside the station. Not to worry the bus can exchange big note to small change. When enter the bus (every half hour) take the ticket from the back gate. Before reaching the shine press the bell. The bus driver will stop and see you pay the bus fee . Very convenient.

The whole area is full of historical spots to see, and this one is a rich and well-maintained jewel. Any time of the day, it’s beautiful and lush to see. There is a noh stage in addition to the usual hostels. If you’re into samurai, it’s a must-visit.

We arrived late in the afternoon and had a wonderful experience..there were no other people about except a lonely turtle..

Kai Zenkoji Temple was underwhelming. While the temple itself is decent, it lacks the charm and care that I expected. The surrounding area felt somewhat uninspired, and there wasn’t much information provided about the temple's history or significance. It didn't have the peaceful atmosphere I was hoping for, making the visit feel a bit lackluster. Overall, it’s not worth going out of your way to see.

A historic temple very worthwhile stopping by if you're in Kofu. The grounds are not huge, but the main hall is impressive and attractively weathered. There's a 'hell' you can go through feeling for a lock in the pitch black basement -- more fun than it sounds! Also take time to go off to the right of the main hall and there is a collection of interesting statues of Buddhist deities particular to the Yamanashi area.

Peaceful and ancient temple

I want to visit inside for the Dragon's hall, but they didn't allow me to be there. Not sure why. I visit here on mid of october

You should not shy off from paying small admission fee to get inside the main building. Many interesting architectural mysteries await you.

Very grand temple with nice artifacts to see for a small fee. There is also a spot where you stand and clap your hands to hear a very nice acoustic effect. In the back there are stairs leading to a very dark area. Try it if you are brave enough.

One Of the Old Japanese temple in Yamanashi. Admission fee:Adult 500 yen,Elementary school student 250 yen,Group discount over 30 people. Open Period 8 AM - 5 PM Worship Reception time 9 AM - 4:30 PM

A nice park surrounds this historical castle grounds in downtown Kofu. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

I wandered up to Kōfu Castle in July and was pleasantly surprised by its perfect blend of history, greenery, and summer tranquility. The stone walls and reconstructed gate are beautifully shaded by towering trees, making the walk up to the Honmaru hill refreshingly cool. At the top, the summer breeze and unmatched views of Kōfu city stretched out under a clear blue sky—no Mount Fuji this month, but still a stunning panorama that felt so peaceful. Midday sunshine made the stone pathways glow, and the open grounds were dotted with locals enjoying a shaded stop under the trees. This time of year, you’ll likely see families and couples enjoying a relaxing stroll instead of the springtime crowds. Plus, the signage around the site gives great historical insights about Takeda Shingen’s legacy—perfect for history buffs. Exploring the castle took me about 45 minutes, including a few stops to sit and soak in the summer ambiance. A quick, enriching detour if you’re in Kōfu during July—don’t forget your sunhat and water bottle! 🏯☀️

Very few structures remain although is an important part of Japanese history. You can skip unless you are a history buff. The place is well maintained and provides good city views

I went there during cherry blossom season. It’s such a beautiful place and really close to the train station. 🌸🚉

Walking towards the castle grounds, I glanced backwards and caught a glimpse of a mountain peak through the clouds in the distance. Could it really be? My pace increased as I entered the well-kept grounds and climbed the stone steps making my way to the viewing platform. The last step had arrived and the clouds began to clear. And just like that, the elusive Fujisan appeared. Whilst I’ve seen Fuji from afar, seeing it that bit closer is a bit more special. Pleasant place to visit all around, beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere. If only someone would knock down that inconveniently placed metal tower…

A nice castle that's over 400 years old with a 17 meter high wall built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Great panoramic views of Kōfu and you can even see Mount Fuji on clear days.

It's nice historical place. Beautiful Sakura blooming. It has just remains of the castle not the whole castle itself. At Sakura time they have a big festival and everyone dressed in armies of ancient times, samurai and ninja. It's beautiful atmosphere

Gorgeous location, great prices (only 900 yen or $6 for a bath), and tattoo friendly, which was the main reason I picked this location. I stayed at the nearby Fruit Park Fujiya hotel and hiked about 35 minutes up to the Onsen. Very rural feel. I wish there’d been less fog for a better view of Fuji, but maybe next time.

This was an incredible experience, the view from the baths was gorgeous mountaintops. I highly recommend going for sunrise as it was cooler so you could enjoy the heat of the baths more (we arrived at 5:15am and there were already around 100 people in line). Everyone was really accepting although no one seemed to speak english so you had to figure most things out for yourself. Lockers were available for valuables whilst in the onsen, and we were allowed in with tattoos. No public transport available to the onsen, would be a hard walk on the side of a road up a mountain, taxi/car recommended. Definitely go if you are in the area!

The onsen was pretty clean, affordable, and has outdoor area, but very basic. They dont have sauna/steam or other recreational features, only hot pools (1 indoor and some outdoors). The outdoor area is quite big and has many hidden corner for someone who doesn’t really comfortable being naked in front of others. The water was not too chlorinated and was okay for my skin and hair to get soaked in long period. I went there during night & end of winter, so got only city view and the hot spring was just perfect for the winter cold. They provided towel (for extra charges) and basic shampoo & shower gel. It’s recommended if you want to try traditional Japanese onsen.

One of the best hot spring place to see Mt. Fuji

A hot spring adjacent to Fruit Line and Fuefukigawa Park. Select "Over there" or "Here" to enter. You cannot enter both for the same bath fee. Perfect for washing off your sweat at the park or riding a go-kart. It's best when you sprinkle salt on fried eggs and eat them with a bottle of milk.

Nice natural hot spring “Onsen”. Genders are separated and you got to be completely naked. Price is reasonable too at 800 yen entry and 1000 yen for a towel. Taxi from Ishiawa train station is about 4000 yen for one way. Tattoos seemed to be ok too. Went in with a big dragon tattoo and no one complained. Also, I saw one Japanese man with a large koi fish tattoo on his leg. Food options are available. Great view of Mt Fuji. Apparently amazing for sunrise. Shower before going into the water, not when you get out.

Hi there Great hot pools with a great view Not much English but you'll work it out. Mens and women's pools naked good facilities 9$ entry aud Can buy towel there. Food available even beers at shop after Open 4am for sunrise 🌅

Nice park where you can enjoy the scenario from the hill to the city. There is fish catching activity, and you can grill the fish after catching. It’s fun for kids.

Beautiful place! There are all kind of fruit trees here. You can see how the gorgeous fruits are growing beautifully. Remember to be respectful and don’t pick the fruit! They have plenty of places around the area where you can buy all kinds of fruits. Also there are lots of areas where kids can play! There is the outdoor playground, aqua park, indoor playground in the dome, underground museum with interactive activities, and more. There are couple options for lunch time, fish grilling at the aqua park area, that’s seasonal. Bbq, restaurant, snacks, and the delicious seasonal parfait. I got to try the muscat one and it was amazing! Come early to enjoy as much as you can! Have lunch in the area, get some souvenirs and delicious treats and at the end enjoy at their onsen! A perfect day!

Fuefukigawa is an excellent scenic spot. Many spacious parking lots, attractive views. Spend pleasant moments with your family, children, friends, and loved ones. Make memories of happy moments, but renew love in the best atmosphere. Refresh your mood with your favorite snacks, meals, barbeque, ice cream and soft drinks. A beautiful antique railway train is waiting for you to take you around the park. Water Park is a very enjoyable place for children. Where children fulfill their wishes. And with it the freshest fruits from the orchards are eager to accompany you. However, no matter how much we talk about the charm of this park, it is less.

A huge facility. We could not explore everywhere as my kids were only interested in the water area. This was the highlight of our trip. The kids enjoyed playing in the water. Bring swimsuit and all the gears. the kids will enjoy it.

Amazing place with beautiful views, with lots of fruits. Huge place with play areas for kids, lots of stores around to buy the fruits. Can spend and entire day with a bunch activities to do. By dusk the place looks very different with the breathtaking views it offers.

Parked there at night. Greeted by Mt Fuji in the morning

Awesome place to spend the day. Non car access: bus from Yamanashi-shi. (I used electric bike along Fruits Line road from Isawa. Would recommend.) Space for kids, dog run, great views, an underground fruit archaeology museum, restaurants, shops, this place has something for everyone.

Nice outing during autumn season. Lots of local tourists. Each ropeway carriage can take about 40 passengers. Nice view of the southern alps and Mount Fuji from afar.

The cable car ride that goes up to the mountain. Its 1500円 for an adult and well worth the journey. The views are amazing up there and there is a lot to see. Before going up the mountain in the cable, remember to wear good hiking and trail shoes because it isn't a normal walk on a man-made surface, it literally is a serious dirt and rock trail that can be dangerous if your ignorant. Its not advanced, just be prepared is all I say, if you want the best pictures and videos of the mountians and Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended visit for sure!

I loved the additional paths to explore after using the Gondola! The hike up to the Gondola was beautiful. I definitely recommend. Although the ticket price has gone up since when I first researched it. The round trip ticket price is now ¥1,500. Still worth it in my opinion.

Totally rip off. No views at top. No views along the journey. They pack the ropeway like sardines until you can’t even breathe properly. There wasn’t even alot of people they just waited for more people to arrive so they could maximize the number of people they can squeeze into 1 small train. Wouldn’t even sit this if free.

Ropeway up is short, just 5mins. The view is quite nice but will be best in autumn to see the colours of change. The street at the base are full of gems stone shops, if you are a collector, can choice some. A nice museum to visit there also. The Mitake Shosenkyo gorge is the key attraction, I will compare to Taiwan Takoro, if you have time, should hike along the path to the other end. Waterfall is nice. There a very interesting noodle shop just beside the big carpark, mimic the water flow noodles but in a special water feature on the table with the water constantly in move and change thru pipes below, it fresh from the river.

Just the size good for a day trip! We went to enjoy autumn leaves. The original schedule says every 20min running but it runs every 5min for high season. You will enjoy a nice view on the way and there are some easy walking place on the summit.

The gondola/mountain lift/ cable car is having limited capacity of ~30 folks and every twenty minutes - it’s a nice place to visit and glimpse view Fuji-San and do small treks on the top…. The golden koi fish pond in the starting station and the restaurant with soft serve on the top are nice

small but a lot of things to try and experience，there s a big playground outside

The Science Museum covers many different topics, and the workers are wonderful with children. The overlook is an excellent place to view Kofu and Mount Fuji.

Excellent for kids at a young age. Quite a few of interesting activities indoors which are fun and educational. You can check the website to find out the dates and time the planetarium open for visiting. There is also a large outdoor playground suitable for kids at all ages. There is a sign showing that you can walk to Kofu JR station but the fallen leaves covered the track and became quite slippery if unprepared.

The kids have fun, but it’s really a shame that so many of the attractions are so old and outdated or broken. There are a bunch of fun looking spots shut down to the kids as well. Please update all the attractions!!! Please open up all the climbing areas!!

Great place to take kids. They have an incredible park outside with an obstacle course that goes all the way up the hill. Go to the very top to try out two zip lines.

Visited on 26th March. Better know quite some Japanese, since they don’t provide other language version. The planetarium is very interesting. The most astonishing thing is the observation point. The whole city is almost viewable if the weather good.

What a great museum for a few hundred yen! Very interactive and the kids loved the adjacent outdoor play area, highly recommend

This park is located just a short walk from the south exit of Kofu Station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk around the entire park. On clear days, you can see Mount Fuji, so I recommend visiting when the weather is nice.

1 of the most famous castle sites in Japan. Maizuru Castle Park, which encompasses Kofu Castle, is a peaceful location that is suitable for peace seekers, nature enthusiasts, and history buffs. Amidst the city's activity, this location offers spacious grounds surrounded by lush greenery. Unobstructed panoramic views of the city can be seen from the highest point of the park. The reconstructed Kuroganemon is one of the major structures in the ruins of Kofu Castle. The gate used to be a two-storied Yaguramon that was situated on the southern side of the Honmaru. The park is particularly popular during spring, when the cherry trees bloom on the grounds, and you can see Mount Fuji in the background during clear sky weather. Just a short stroll away from the south exit of JR Kofu station. Proceed straight and then turn right to reach the entrance. ⛩️

An easy walk from Kofu Station. The park is open 24 hours, however the it is only the museum and the upper floor of one of the gates which are closed off when the park is 'closed' so feel to go by anytime, day or night. The park is big; depending on your pace expect to take from 30 minutes to an hour to see it all. Be careful if you have bad knees; there are a lot of steep stairs. The top of the watchtower affords a view of Mt. Fuji when the weather is clear. Tips for photographers - there are good shots in the morning of the crane statue at the main entrance. From the watchtower, looking at the Shaonto Tower, the sun rises behind you and sets behind the tower. Plan your shots :-)

Beautifully kept parks and gardens around the old castle ramparts. Great views of the city.

Only five minutes walk from Kofu station. Nice place to walk around when you get bored sitting at Starbucks for too long! The best season to go there is, of course, spring 🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸

Clean gardens, trimmed grass. Nice place to stroll and relax. Wonderful views of the whole city and surrounding mountains.

Tranquil park, I enjoyed had the pleasure of enjoying a peaceful walk around at twilight.

Great factory outlet if you are into mochi. Tour is free and pretty fast, don’t come on a Sunday if you are looking for action in the tour. Most of the line is close. But if you are on the way to the north and don’t mind buying mochi. Can stop by There are two gift shops. When facing the main building at the entrance, The. Left side is close to expiry items and less frills but also cheaper. Right side are more for gifts to others, longer expiry Note that most items expire within a week so best to check Also lots of locals visit, it’s a factory outlet after all

Fun experience, get to see the whole process and a great shop at the end. Would recommend planning in advance and coming early before the tourist buses hit, as it can get very busy. Got my self the Yuru Camp Nadeshiko set, super tasty and super cute.

Having a free tour of what is going inside their factory is a fun learning experience, but if you are not a fan of those things, I wouldn't recommend going because it would be boring😊the matcha ice with shingen mochi is a must try, yummy 😋

Great free self guided tour of a real factory that makes mochi. Just wander around at your own pace and view the workers making mochi! At the end of the tour you can get the famous mochi ice cream! The place was packed on a Tuesday with tour buses

Watch the man power required to wrap each shingen mochi! I love the shingen mochi from here, so I wanted to come visit this factory. It is very cool to just watch these skilled individuals wrap each mochi under 6 seconds. They have a store beside the factory that you wouldn’t want to miss! They sell a lot of different sweats and snacks for cheap. If you want to get cheap shingen mochi you better be ready to line up before the store opens. I was the first person in line and was there an hour before opening. The group 10 person back(throwing up numbers here but isn’t that far off) couldn’t get any by the time they came in. One per person but people come in groups, so be there early. They have other deals so not to worry but if you want cheap shingen mochi you better come early. They also have an “all you can stuff into a bag” event for 220 yen??? However you have to really get their early for this and get a number. Once your number is called you can participate.

A factory of a Yamanashi’s famous Shingen Mochi snack. Shingen mochi is a popular mochi snack in Yamanashi. This is the factory that makes all the product and you can see it’s been packaged by human one by one with super fast tie. The factory also has an outlet store and cafe.

Visited on 26th March. Local cuisine sweets factory with DIY activity and tour trip. Good place for learning, buying, or eating some local sweet or food. May be very inconvenient if you don’t know any Japanese. Since they don’t provide other language version of tour.

A big easy access station, it has a Yodobashi just right outside the South exit, it has lots of restaurant and places to buy souvenirs. Also has a lot of places to try wine.

It’s a good station with different restaurants for quick bite and convenience stores for snacks before going to your destination for either travel, work or school.

Ok.

Convenient store, station building, bus terminal, etc you have everything you need around the station.

You won't get lost. Just follow the color coding of the trains. Its better though if there's an english translation. Anyway, what I did was to look up the place I want to go in google maps and then compared the Japanese characters with that on the map. Easily found it on the route map and paid my fare.

Visited on 15th Jan. 2019. Since this year is 500 Anniversary of Koufu opening. There is a short-term exhibition in the Koufu station. It tells lots of history, local things about Koufu. Especially the historical figure “Takeda Shingen”.

Less english sign than smaller station (eg otsuki). Difficult to find a right car number.

Had a chance to visit this museum when they had the works of two Mongolian artists. The collection of Francois Millet is present at all times as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the art and the displays.

We enjoyed viewing the amazing collection of pieces by Jean Francois Millet within this museum. There were pieces by a variety of artists as well as clay pieces by Tadahiro Ogawa- Jomon statues. The museum also has a wonderful restaurant that had delicious food choices- several themed from various works of art being showcased in the museum. The museum was a great way to spend the afternoon.

great traditional art museum! there was even a small (free) section where they were displaying art made by the local community :) highly recommended if you're into art and if the weather isn't the greatest :)

Its a good place to visit. I very much like their collections of arts and paintings. 💖

Taking pictures inside the museum though not allowed, the oil painting are antiques and amazing in the canvas. Nostalgic and amazing are my expressions! Food at the cafe & resto was as amazing as the oil paintings, healthy and i loved it!

While it is wonderful to have an art museum in town, the collections aren’t the most impressive, but I am no art critic. The park is the true reason to go to the area, the park is always full of families (and so many dogs) and a great place for an afternoon picnic. For a relaxing Sunday afternoon I recommend enjoying the park and skipping the museum!

I visited the museum with my husband and 3year-old daughter. And got strong feeling that the museum unofficially refuses small kids.. We've been never given this many precautions in public places before. They asked us not to let go of our kid's hand, not to have her anything in her hand and etc.. even my daughter was already in my husband's arm when they tell us precautions, we felt so disturbing and guilty with the fact that we have a kid with us.. During at the exhibition room, we again was told from another staff member the same precautions we had already heard at the entrance.. Even considering that the museum keeps masterpieces and they need visitors to be cautious but this is excessive. I've visited many other museums in Europe and have seen parents enjoying arts with their children, discussing about art pieces freely. I think that's how a museum achieve their most important goal, "to provide people with a place where art is blooming by educating and inspiring young generation" In this term, i can say that this museum fails to do so. My daughter looked on the verge of crying as even she didn't understand whole conversation we had with staff but she still understood overall meaning and tone that she was not welcomed. We left the exhibition room soon but I should have left there even at the entrance when we had to hear the stupid restrictions they set to small kids.. Then we would have not hurt her feeling. Please do not visit this place if you have a kid.

The museum was great, nice exhibits of feudal life in Yamanashi prefecture. I know it's not a foreign tourist spot, but the exhibits could use maybe English wording as mobile phones are prohibited, so we couldn't use our phones for translation. The five stars actually go to a young attendant working at the museum who despite the language barrier really gave her best to explain the central exhibit. We did use phones at least for speech translation. Thank you very much!

This place offers great historical information, which includes artifacts used by the people of Japan hundreds if not over a thousand plus year in the past. Also we found information on medicine than killed people instead of saving them back then, as well as classroom setti gs, miniature parks and wear. A really amazing experience for a museum. Recommended.

It's a small museum and the location is not necessarily easy to reach. However if the exhibition is interesting it is a very good place.

The initial multimedia experience of the Jomon pot was a mind-bender! -- the water and snake theme from the floor really got me, also thanks to the kind guide who explained the symbolism of the wild pig and snake on the pot. Later, the Edo period replica of rural life and mukashibanashi was a lot of fun -- again, thanks to a kind guide who made sure I noticed the stories in the arrangements. Finally, the school room replica of the second world war situation was emotionally gripping, and ranged from school indoctination to the atomic bombing. Thankfully, there was some hopeful childrens artwork on a wall nearby that brought a few tears of joy!

Took a short detour on my walk back from the mochi factory The staff was very helpful and one of them had great english too The exhibits were cool and the price was great for a university student

The best award design. Beautyful museum.

Good place for hangout.

Stayed in Lake Motosu for 2 nights at Motosu Phoenix in end Sep 2024. Love the tranquility of the surroundings as it was less crowded with tourists. Love the morning walk at the lake breathing in the fresh morning air.

Absolutely loving this scenic place. Comfortable and relaxing. Dipping in water while watching the mountains views covered with fog is mesmerizing. Lots of water related sports was going on here.

This is one of the Fuji Mountain five Lakes and it’s further away from all other tourist attraction. The road along the lake is well maintained and quite peaceful with much less tourists. The view of Fuji Mountain is extraordinary with the calming lake.

One of the five famous lakes around Fuji mountain. Far away from others lake. The area has a variety of birds and swans. And it looks like there are quite a few activities here.

Very special place. Had lunch at a super local place thanks to @fujicooltours and then swim in the magical waters!

Visited on 4th January 2024 . Since it was cloudy ☁️ from the morning mount fuji was seen very clearly and beautiful. There were many visitors on that day due to new year vacation. There is also free parking and restrooms 🚽 service available. Lake with a mount Fuji background and depth of nearly 400 ft. And is popular for camping 🏕️., boating 🛶 and fishing 🎣 . One can enjoy the nature very closely. I recommend this place for visit as it worth to visit and surrounding places is neat and clean.

The most mystery and tranquil lake of five-lake of Mount Fuji. Rent a car and drive to here is the best choice in my thought. I visited here in winter and I was very lucky that I could see whole beautiful Mount Fuji. With the lake and the tree on the lakeside, the view became an astonish landscape in my mind. Notice that the 本栖 lake is also printed on the 1000 Yen. It looks like the scene in the sakura season. I will come here and enjoy again.

Ice cave is wonderful to get away from the hot weather. I was worried by their maps that made it look like we could run into a room with water or fall down a tunnel, but the handrails kept us on path. It is a short 20 mins but be warned the stairs and passages are steep, wet, and can be slippery. There is one narrow and low ceiling passage of about 20 feet. There is a couple of places with low ceiling to duck down. I would not recommend this if you have mobility problems and a couple of sections gets dark. There are bars to hold onto but one bar seemed a little wobbly. You can use one of their free helmets but there were only 5 total helmets there— there was one other group of 3 people at the cave while we were there and they didn’t have helmets so not sure if the facility only has 5 helmets for all visitors. There is one section that has the ice to see on the left and right. When we went, there didn’t seem to be as much ice as other people’s pictures. It was cool to see the natural ice formation and not something I would go out of your way for, but if you are in the area and interested in geology then drop by. They also had clean restrooms.

Cheap but cheerful cave experience amongst beautiful naturescape. Visit during winter to see ice pillars. We visited in autumn & signs pre-warned ice pillars had melted, so we knew what to expect. Still went for the experience! Steep but short climb down 21m. Cold, so prepare accordingly. Watch your head for low hanging rocks. A short section where we had to pretty much crawl through - a unique experience! Take as long as you like, but approx 10min round trip. 1.4km trail walk (30min) to Wind Cave - can purchase combo tickets. Well worth it for something different and a bit of a nature walk. But you can also drive there.

A unique and memorable stop near Mount Fuji. The Narusawa Ice Cave takes you through narrow lava-tube tunnels with impressive ice formations that stay frozen all year. It’s short (so take your time and make the most of it) but fascinating, about a 20-minute walk through chilly, dim passages that feel like an underground adventure. It can be slippery and tight in spots, even a section to almost crawl, so wear good shoes and a light jacket. The staff are friendly, and signs are available in English and Japanese. Great to pair with the nearby Fugaku Wind Cave for a full experience. Easy to access by car, plenty of parking onsite and leading into, or local bus, and well worth the visit if you’re exploring the Fuji Five Lakes area. There is a gift shop attached where you can also purchase food items. We also visited the Wind Cave, this experience was a little more comfortable, ticket entry can be purchased for both caves at each site.

Narusawa Ice Cave is another place I visited during my trip to Mt. Fuji. Visiting this ice cave offers a great opportunity for physical activity and exercise. I'm glad I can handle it. The Narusawa Ice Cave is not particularly impressive. However, it's fun if you have a whole group of friends who can go together.

Although short, the ice cave is a unique and refreshing experience. Even in summer, it’s cold inside, and the crouching and squeezing through narrow passages to go deeper makes it all the more fun.

Located in the Aokigahara Forest at the northwestern foot of Mt. Fuji, Narusawa Ice Cave is a small lava tube formed about 1,150 years ago during one of Fuji’s eruptions. The temperature inside remains around 0–3°C throughout the year, allowing impressive ice formations to persist even in summer. The walking path is short — about 150 meters — leading down a narrow, slippery tunnel with solidified lava walls and a distinct chill in the air. Two main chambers display preserved ice: one illuminated with soft blue light, the other protected behind metal bars. A full visit takes around 10–15 minutes, and while it’s interesting from a geological perspective, the experience can feel brief — essentially a short descent to view the ice and back. It’s best to buy a combined ticket that includes Fugaku Wind Cave nearby, for a more complete and rewarding visit to the Fuji Five Lakes Geopark area

Not recommen for old person .take a jacket to go in it cold inside.take around 15 min walk down deep in the cave.we was there in hot summer bjt stil vely cool inside. Some place inside is very tinny and ice melt so becare full it very sleppe in there .

Take a trip into a lava cave. No actual lava involved. There are ice blocks. Temperature is 0*C to 3*C in the cave. It has been used for cold storage of silk worm cocoons and seeds. The stairway down is uneven, but not dangerous if care is used. It is not a very long distance into the cave. Basalt and cooled lava are readily viewable. The store at the beginning of the path has corn ice cream. I highly recommend trying it with a bit of salt.

Although brief, it’s a fun experience, especially in summer when it’s hot outside. A 10-minute walk through the cave offers a cool, windy, and refreshing escape. There’s also a bat cave and an ice cave nearby that are worth checking out.

Cheap but cheerful cave experience amongst beautiful naturescape. We visited in autumn. Short steep climb down to cave mouth. Cold so prepare accordingly. Approx 15min round trip. Nearby is Ice Cave (30min by foot, 2min by car) - can purchase combo tix on the day. Definitely recommend walking on the beautiful trail.

Just down the road from the Narusawa Ice Cave, the Fugaku Wind Cave is another must-see spot in the Fuji Five Lakes area. This naturally formed lava tube stays cool all year, with temperatures around zero degrees even in summer, perfect for a quick escape from the heat. Inside, you’ll see displays showing how the cave was once used to store silkworm eggs and seeds, along with impressive ice pillars and rock formations. The walk is smooth and easier than the Ice Cave, making it great for families or anyone wanting a calmer underground experience. The site is well-maintained, has clear English signs, and offers free parking nearby. A short, cool, and educational stop, best enjoyed together with the Ice Cave for a full Mount Fuji lava cave adventure.

Fugaku Wind Cave is an interesting lava tube formed over 1,000 years ago by an eruption of Mt. Fuji. Compared to the nearby Narusawa Ice Cave, this one offers a wider and more comfortable passage, allowing for an easy and pleasant walk through its cool, dark interior. Inside, the temperature remains around 3°C year-round, and during the Edo period the cave was used as a natural refrigerator for silkworm eggs and seeds. The visit takes about 15–20 minutes, and buying a combined ticket for both caves is convenient and recommended, as they complement each other perfectly. What I found most captivating were the walls covered with vivid green mosses and lichens, their color strikingly contrasting with the glossy black lava. Interestingly, these plants grow even in the deeper parts of the cave, where artificial lighting allows them to photosynthesize, creating a mysterious and almost surreal atmosphere.

The Fugaku Wind Cave is a fun place to visit if you can physically handle the walk and crawling in some cases. The entire trip involves walking up and down many stairs. Make sure you pick up a helmet at the entrance to protect your head if you are not a short person. The cave is fun to watch if you know you can handle it physically.

Well, it s nice to see the lava walls and lava formations but if you want to see the glamorous ice columns you need to go in winter or early spring. I went in mid October and there was only some ice on the floor in one corner, nothing too attractive

There are some attractions and hiking route starting from the lake. There are not many store around, so it’s better to prepare food and drink before your plan.

Very beautiful lake with many jungle hikes around it. It doesn't have a shore to walk but many people kayak and paddle board there.

A simple place, without many attractions besides the stunning view of Mount Fuji. The best time of year to visit is in the winter.

This is a smaller lake, but a great place for camping. We rode our bikes so could feel some part of the road isn't too smooth, in fact very bumpy, but some parts are so great. Worth a quick visit if you have a car or bike, or would like to go camping.

Love this lake. Very serene. Best to cycle/drive/walk around the lake. Less crowded than kawaguchiko lake

One of the best place to visit .... full of natural beauty!!!! Best lake in japan !!!! Highly recommended this place !!!!

This lake has a beautiful scenic view of Mt.Fuji. It's also quiet, peaceful, and not too crowded. An Iyashi no Sato ancient village is nearby. You can get into this place by car or green line bus. If you are looking for a quiet place in Fuji five lakes area, this may be your answer.

We had to wait for more than one hour to have our table. But even in waiting, people keep on coming. The food was good. They served the popular Houtou dish of Yamanashi-Shizuoka(?) They served different kinds of Houtou. We tried the pork. It taste good 👍🏼

The atmosphere, service, and food are absolutely great! They had an English speaking staff which made everything easier. Theyre very helpful. There's a bit of wait before getting seated but the service is really fast. The tempura I had was the best tempura I've had in my life. They have big servings and their toilets are very clean. Definitely recommend this place if you're going to Yamanashi

We waited a long time 50 mins for the food. The houtou itself is very starchy, so don't get the suiton because that's even starchier 😰 They were very generous with ingredients. Service was pleasant.

If you are not a big eater, the serving is good for two. I enjoyed the taste of their kabucha (pumpkin) hotou. If you are not a fan of udon, they also have soba and tendons😊

Wanted to try the local Hoto noodles and this place didn’t disappoint! The staff was very friendly and they had an English menu for us which was really nice. Would definitely recommend if you’re staying in the area.

They don’t take reservations so expect to wait! We waited about 50 minutes for our table for 7. There were so many people waiting, we actually weren’t allowed to all wait inside despite the rain outside. I wouldn’t say the service was necessarily that attentive. They were just so busy! But also they weren’t rude, so it was fine. We ordered 7 different varieties, and actually all of them were good. No complaints from anyone. In fact, I loved that it came in the stone pot so that my food stayed hot until the end. The hoto noodles were interesting (in a good way), and the toppings were plentiful. By the end, we were all rolling out of the restaurants like balls cause we were just so full!

We had a brief stop at Koshu Hoto Kosaku while visiting Fuji 🗻. Me and my friend ordered the spicy beef kalbi Hoto and duck dish. Both were great. I liked the spicy beef one as it was more flavorful. 🍜 Service was great, they got us English menu and followed up on any requests.

Japanese wine might sound a bit awkward to some people only expect sake and whisky in Japan, but trust me, just give it a try. The character of the wine you taste here will tell you a lot of stories. Just give yourself enough time to visit. They would offer you many different selections for testing. ;)

The wine tour is wonderful. The explanation is detailed and complete. Besides, the staff is interesting and friendly. It is really worth paying a visit here. However, it might be hard to reserve a tour or even understand the content for those who do not understand Japanese.

If youre from a country that produces good wine, keep your expectations very low. I thought the wine cost way too much for the quality in each glass - 1000 yen and 600 yen. Both could pass off as cleanskins. In the end you're paying for the experience of having wine in japan and at a convenient place. Tbh it's a bit shameful they charge that much for this sort of wine

Just so close to JR Kofu station . A very beautiful winery , a restaurant and a shop a bar are also attached . You can have a taste of Kofu wines before buying . And suggest to book the winery tour in advance .

Pretty winery at convenient location, but don’t expect too much about seeing the farm. It’s simply a small winery with few classic buildings and a tasting bar.

The guided tour was very interesting and the factory is made to look very nice with beautifully installed lights! After the tour I tried some delicious grape juice.

One of the oldest wineries in Japan and the Yamanashi area. I recommend taking the guided tour in the winery and you can taste local wines. The advantage of this winery is that it is walking distance from Kofu station while the other wineries are further outside town.

A wonderful waterfall in a gorgeous gorge, awe-inspiring autumn colors in fall. Sakura second to none in spring. Cool in the simmering summers of the Kōfu basin. Winters are fine too, I guess.

👍👍

First time to see a big rock

Gorgeous

It's a spectacular waterfall. 90% of the tourists are Chinese. The waterfall is a two-minute walk from the parking lot, down 166 steps. It's definitely a recommended tourist spot. #blues #October #18th #YamanashiPrefecture #KofuCity #SengaFalls #CrownaAthlete #Drive #OldDogLove #TheSkyIWantToSeeWithYou #Koume (Original) 〒400-1214 山梨県甲府市高成町 『仙娥滝』 武田神社に参拝してから滝を見に来ました。 見応えのある滝です。観光客は中国人90%です。 駐車場から徒歩2分、166段の階段を降りて滝が現れます。お勧めの観光地ですね。 #blues #10月 #18日 #山梨県 #甲府市 #仙娥滝 #crownathlete #ドライブ #老犬の恋#君と見たい空 #小梅

(Translated by Google) It's about a 3-minute walk from the Senga Falls parking lot. You'll see it on your left as soon as you descend the stairs. It was a weekday morning, so there weren't any crowds and I was able to enjoy the incredible amount of water flowing through Senga Falls at my leisure.

Nice shopping area but it's nothing much. Most impressive here for me is hanasaku coffee.

The soft cream is very good. Matcha one tasted even better than the one in Kanazawa.

There are a lot of gems and stones here but the price is quite pricey. I rather support the gem market opened at Kofu station. They're cheaper but the quality is a bit lower

Nice little shops and restaurants. So close to the station and convenient.

Really nothing special here and almost everything closes early.

Delightful place

Nothing much interesting around. Convenient, just beside the train station.

Nice quiet pub with great craft beers on taps. Food selection looks good as well, though I didn't get the chance to taste as I came after dinner, but it looked and smelled delicious. I especially liked the English pale ale, The Counties, and the Belgian Tripel, Drunk Monk.

In need of some tasty locally brewed beer and good company? Then go down to the Hops and Herbs brew pub. All beers are brewed on site by Mark's talented brew master. While I have long attachment to the bar, I can objectivity state the Outsider Brewery beers are as good as any craft beer you will encounter. Highly recommended.

We only had beer but there is a good selection to choose from and you can purchase a 'taster' paddle to try them all. Good music and service.

Great craft beer! Restaurant is upstairs and the brewery is downstairs. Had a seasonal beer called Cherry Boy with a slight hint of cherries, a Drunk Monk Tripel and a Weiss called Fresh Start. The food menu really looked good with lot of unusual local foods like Houtou Pasta, fried Houtou in 3 flavors, and Horse Bacon! The atmosphere and music was also really relaxing. Highly recommend this place.

Variety of craft beers brewed at the shop (So many tanks are installed that can be seen from outside ) Tastes very good and vibes good as well. Some pinchos are very unique such as pickles made with beer .

Great place and fair or you can say cheap price, anyway 100% recommend, no matter beer or food both divine.

Fantastic spot close to Kofu castle and Kofu Station. The area is big and great for groups and parties and the brewery is right downstairs! The atmosphere is welcoming and easygoing and the display of the beer and the food is a treat! Oh, and of course the beer is amazing and the brewer is a great guy! There was a great review from 4 years ago talking about how the selection wasn't so good. Well you'll be happy to hear they've grown and now have about 20+ different varieties. But they don't have them all available all the time. Seasonal and space can limit what you'll see. But there are 6 fantastic options always available!!

Lovely folks, and a great deal for essentially a strawberry tabehodai. Definitely recommend calling ahead to reserve a spot

(Translated by Google) It might be a little difficult to get there. But I'll make a reservation so I can get in without waiting. After registering and paying at the parking lot, go to the greenhouse next door. I think Mr. Iijima and Mr. Nakajima will be going with the dog this time. Iijima has one lane exclusively for him. You can also refill the condensed milk as much as you like. You can taste 4 types of strawberries. (Original) ちょっと行くまでが大変かな。でも予約して行くから待ち無しで入れる。駐車場で受付と支払いをしてすぐ側の温室へ。ワンコと入れるのは今回の飯島さんと中島さんかな。飯島さんは１レーンが専用となってます。練乳もおかわり自由ですよ。４種類の苺を味わえますよー。

(Translated by Google) I came here with my dog🐕 They were very kind and took care of my dog ​​too🐕🐕 There were 6 types of strawberries in total, and they were all sweet and delicious 🍓 I was very satisfied with the condensed milk. 🍓It might be the first time I felt full 🤣 It was very nice that each group had a designated hunting line, so they didn't mix up with other customers. I would like to visit you again. (Original) 愛犬同伴でお邪魔しました🐕 親切にご対応いただき、うちのワンコも可愛がっていただきました🐕🐕 苺は全部で6種類あり、どれも甘く美味しかったです🍓練乳のおかわりもでき、大変満足です。🍓で満腹は初めてかも🤣 一組ごとに狩れる列を区分け、指定されているので、他のお客さんと混同しないところは大変良かったです。 またお邪魔したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went to Yamanashi to pick strawberries for my son's birthday. It's been a long time since I've had fun with the whole family during the day. It was delicious. All you can eat for 30 minutes, but I can't eat much lol The condensed milk is so strong lol It was my first time eating white strawberries and they were so sweet. It was fun and delicious. Here we go again! (Original) 息子の誕生日にいちご狩りにふらっと山梨に。 久々に家族みんなで昼間の遊びに。 美味しくいただけました。 ３０分食べ放題だけどけっこう食べれないもんですねw 練乳がガツンときますw 白いイチゴ初めて食べたけど甘ぁーい。 楽しく、美味しいいただけました。 また、いきまーす！

(Translated by Google) I decided to go with my family in a hurry, and when I looked at the online reservation status on the website the night before, it was fully booked...but when I called them directly the morning of the day, they were happy to accommodate me. All-you-can-eat 6 types of strawberries for 30 minutes♪ However, there weren't many large strawberries that I was expecting, and there were a lot of reasonably-sized strawberries. But all the strawberries were sweet and delicious!! (Original) 急遽家族と行くことになり、前日の夜にホームページ内のネット予約状況を見たら予約でいっぱいとなっていましたが…当日の朝、直接お電話したところ、快く引き受けて頂けました。 6種類のいちごが30分食べ放題♪ですが、期待していた大きないちごはあまりなく、お手頃サイズのいちごが多かったです。でもどのいちごも甘くて美味しかったです!!

(Translated by Google) I visited because I was attracted by the fact that you can taste and compare up to 6 types of strawberries. I read some reviews that said they didn't have all 6 types depending on the time of year, but when I went there in late February, I was able to complete all 6 types without any problems. The tastes are quite different and it's interesting to compare them. By making a reservation, you will be guaranteed a spot in one row. The 30 minute time limit went by quickly, but I was able to eat so much food in that time. We also received some freshly picked strawberries as souvenirs. I also really enjoyed the extra strawberry jam. It was very good. (Original) 最大6種類のイチゴが食べ比べられるというのに惹かれて訪問しました。時期によっては6種類揃ってないという口コミも見ましたが、2月下旬に行ったところ無事に6種コンプリートできました。味が結構違っていて食べ比べは面白いです。 予約すると1列場所を確保していただけます。30分の時間制限はあっという間ですが、その間にもう食べきれんというほど食べることができました。 お土産のイチゴも立派なのを摘みたてで詰めていただきました。おまけのイチゴジャムもとても嬉しかったです。 大変良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I went because I heard that you can eat 6 kinds of strawberries, including white strawberries! Free refills of condensed milk! But even on March 25th, I was able to eat sweet strawberries without condensed milk! I was very happy to choose this place. I'm happy. "It's warm inside, so you might want to take off your jacket," they said, and I was able to leave it in a locked locker at the entrance^^ Things I was concerned about - The line is narrow and you can't pass each other, so I think it would be easier to move around if it was a little wider. It would be easier to avoid for people who are afraid of bees. (The area for large group reservations was spacious!) - Since you can enjoy 6 kinds, it would be nice if there were some signs indicating the names of the strawberries. It would be easier to remember your favorite strawberries. The staff were kind and we had a delicious and fun time♪ What I forgot to do was bring wet wipes😂 I forgot to bring them. I got condensed milk in my hair and on my shoes, which was a pain. I recommend bringing them. There is a hand washing area outside. 30 minutes goes by surprisingly quickly when you're taking pictures! Please enjoy your time efficiently♪ Thank you to all the staff for your kind support in accommodating our last minute reservation. (Original) 6種類のいちご、白いいちごが食べられるとのことで利用させて頂きました！ 練乳おかわり自由！ ですが3月25日でも練乳なくても甘いいちごが食べられました！ここを選んで大正解でした。うれしい。 「室内は暖かいので上着を脱いだ方がいいかもしれません」と声を掛けて下さり、入口の鍵付きロッカーに預けることが出来ました^^ 気になったことは ・列の幅が狭く、すれ違いができないのでもう少しだけ広いと動きやすいと思う。蜂が怖い人も避けやすい。（大人数の予約の所は広かったです！） ・6種類も楽しめるので、いちごの名前の表示が少しでもあると嬉しい。好きないちごも覚えやすい。 スタッフの皆様はお優しく、美味しく楽しい時間を過ごせました♪ うっかりしたのが、ウェットティッシュ😂 持参するのを忘れてしまいました。練乳が髪の毛に付いたり、靴の上に落としたり、大変でした。持参をオススメします。手洗い場は外にあります。写真も撮ったりしてると30分は意外とあっという間です！効率よく楽しんでください♪ スタッフの皆様、急な前日の予約にもご親切に対応して頂き、ありがとうございました。

The statue of Takeda Shingen right in front of Kofu Station is impressively large and has a commanding presence, even more than I expected.

Cool statue, visually impressive and captures beautifully one of the great warlords of the Sengoku era!

Really Awesome Monument People Says That This Is The real Size Of the Samurai !!!! It Looks Like Very Real . Don’t Miss the Chance to See it . 😊😊😊😊

Badass

awesome

There are bus running from Kofu station. You can book tours online as well as onsite. Those tours become fully booked quickly especially on weekend. Get closer to grapes made me excited! Tasting available.

Good to visit the winery farm of my fave drink in Japan! "Suntory" From farm in Yamanashi is a good place to check out when visiting the town. Also don't forget to buy some good wine to try at home. 🍷

A Japanese winery that actually has decent wine and even better views. Growing up in the Napa Valley area its always been hard to find good wine without being too picky, but the Koshu wine they make is very refreshing and designed to pair well with Japanese cuisine The customer service at the shop is also very good and tried to help my parents even with limited English skills! What trumps the tasting, though, is the amazing views of Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms in spring!

Winery with vineyard. Good for those who love wines.

Loved the place! It is so so beautiful. Wine is good, staff is helpful. The food was nice, although not too many choices. Maybe a finer dining would be nice addition. The tours do not go often, so we did not take any, but we enjoyed it anyhow.

I visited this winery on a sunny day in April, 600 meter above sea level with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji and southern alps. You can go for a guided tour , Taste various Japanese wines Worth the visit

A great place to visit!

The museum was simple but the art was amazing. They displayed pieces that resembled legend of Zelda Shadow puppets with a murderous evil story teller vibe yet cute and whimsical. They also had several classic Japanese art pieces and their gift section was extremely large. Only reason I marked down was due to how large the gift section was compared to the museum itself.

Best known for Arts. It's near the bus terminal of shosenkyo.

There are lots of Mr.FUJISHIRO SEJI`s collections. Those are soooo amazing and beautiful!

Beautiful heartwarming art and local Goods in the gift shop on the way out.

very beautiful and relaxing.

As I walked through the light-blocked interior of the museum, I was suddenly confronted by a work that made me exclaim, "Wow, it's beautiful!" 😱 I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart. By changing from monochrome shadow art to colorful shadow art, "Art is an explosion!", the work evolved even more beautifully...it was like an explosion, I was amazed. "I...I...I love rice balls!" Yamashita Kiyoshi's favorite saying... I was also able to enjoy his masterpieces, "🎇...Fireworks" and "Sakurajima + etc..." The artist's technique of concentrating and completing his works with incredible speed, his talent for creating works with the unique texture and depth of collage... The more I looked closely, the more I was struck by the sheer detail... Every piece made me exclaim, "Wow!" 😱 I also thoroughly enjoyed Takeshita Yumeji's "bijin-ga" (portraits of beautiful women), known as "Yumeji-style beauties," a representative style of Taisho Roman. 😊 I also had the opportunity to appreciate the tasteful paintings and calligraphy of my mentor, Katsuko Utsumi.

I hope the middle-aged woman at the ticket counter continues to dream. If that happens, I'll give it 5 stars.

Absolutely beautiful museum with so much detail about the crystals and gemstones locally (and worldwide!) and the history of jewellery making. There are signs throughout in both English and Japanese, making it an easy way to experience the museum for a foreigner like myself. It is quite small and the staff weren't very interactive (although that may be because of the language barrier) so you could easily get through it in about 30 minutes or less but it is well worth spending a little longer looking at the details in the pieces and in the rock samples on display - and, it's free which is always a plus. Also, I came on a weekday but on the weekend there are artisans at work in a workshop near the end of the museum which would be very interesting I'm sure.

Personally not interested in accessories, but it's free so might as well (you only need to write a short survey of where you came fron and transportation) Turns out half of the exhibit is more about the raw materials, there was a wall filled with precious stones before and after polishing which was interesting to see. Also some of the precious stones are shaped interestingly, there was a small tennis racket made from pearl, that was hillarious. Highly recommended if you're in Kofu and got an hour to kill.

(Translated by Google) Parking is available in the prefectural office parking lot. Just tell the attendant at the entrance where you're going. There is a parking fee, but you'll receive a free parking slip at the museum reception. The museum is small, but the content is comprehensive and easy to understand. The rough stone polishing experience is only available by reservation on weekends, so I wasn't able to experience it on weekdays. The museum tour is free. The video showcasing the individual craftsmen at work was very interesting.

(Translated by Google) I had a quick look around on my way home from work. Yamanashi seems to be famous for its ornaments, and there were a variety of gems and jewelry on display. I think you can finish looking around in about 30 minutes, even if you take your time. I didn't have much time, so I only had about 5 minutes to look around. Photography is prohibited, so please come and see for yourself.

(Translated by Google) This museum is located inside the Yamanashi Prefectural Government Office. Although it is small, you can see many mysterious raw stones, beautiful gems and jewelry, and learn about the processing and manufacturing process. The jewelry on display was particularly beautiful, and the jewelry that matched the museum brochure was also beautiful. I couldn't go on the day that suited me, but there was also a hands-on program for processing and manufacturing. Personally, I was impressed by the display of blueprints and the jewelry itself. I wondered what it would be like. It was only a 20-minute visit, but it was a very meaningful time.

Very well kept shrine with lovely raked stone garden. Hard to access without a car.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the "Kofu Five Mountains" temples designated by Takeda Shingen. This temple was restored by Doryu Rankei, a famous monk from the Kamakura period, and it seems that Lord Shingen was particularly well protected. In Shingen's novels and dramas, this temple is the setting for a tragic incident in which his son Yoshinobu is suspected of rebellion, is imprisoned, and then commits suicide. There is also a beautiful garden within the grounds, which is said to be especially nice during the time when the irises bloom. (Original) 武田信玄公が定めた「甲府五山」の一つのお寺です。 鎌倉時代の名僧・蘭渓道隆様が再興されたお寺で、特に信玄公が手厚く保護されたようです。 信玄公の小説やドラマでは、ご子息義信公が謀反の疑いをかけられた後、幽閉され、その後自刃される悲劇の舞台となるお寺でもあります。 境内には見事な庭園もあり、特にアヤメの咲く時期がよいそうです。

(Translated by Google) This temple was rebuilt as a Zen temple by Rankei Doryu, the founder of Kenchoji Temple, the first of the Five Mountains of Kamakura, who was exiled to Kai Province at the time. The elegant Zen-style Buddhist hall is magnificent, and the overall brown color is vivid. It is truly beautiful. Personally, I think it deserves to be designated a National Treasure on the same level as other Zen temples such as Engakuji and Seihakuji, but it seems that many parts, such as the exterior walls, are later additions, so it has been designated an Important Cultural Property. The garden in front of the Buddhist hall is also beautifully maintained. You can also view the garden, said to have been designed by Rankei Doryu, for 300 yen, and you are given a wonderful pamphlet that I think would probably be sold for that price alone at a more famous temple. I think I would have purchased it even if it had been sold separately, so reading it after I got home made me feel like I'd gotten a great deal. There are seats in front of the garden, which is full of rugged, harsh-looking rocks, typical of Zen Buddhism, and you can enjoy a luxurious moment of leisurely gazing at the scenery and letting time pass slowly. In one corner of the cemetery with its back to the temple is the grave of Takeda Yoshinobu, Takeda Shingen's eldest son. When I visited, for some reason I ended up being shown around by an elderly person who seemed to be a history buff. (Original) 鎌倉五山一位の建長寺開山で、当時甲斐に配流されていた蘭渓道隆により禅宗として再興されたお寺です。 禅宗様の優雅な仏殿が見事で、全体の茶色い色も鮮やか。たいそう美しいですね。個人的には円覚寺や清白寺といった、同じ禅宗様のお堂と同列の国宝に相応しいと思うのですが、外壁など後補である部分が多いらしく、重要文化財指定となっています。仏殿の手前の庭も大変綺麗に整えられています。 また、蘭渓道隆作庭と伝わる庭園が300円で拝観できるのですが、有名なお寺でしたらその金額単体でお売りになられるんじゃないかと思うような、立派なパンフレットがいただけます。私は単体で売られてても購入させていただいたであろうと思いますので、帰宅後読みながらもの凄く得した気分になりました。 いかにも禅宗といったごつごつして厳しそうな岩だらけの庭園の前は腰かけられるようになっており、のんびり眺めながらゆっくりと時の過ぎる贅沢なひと時が味わえます。 お寺を背にしてひろがる墓苑の一角には、武田信玄の嫡男、武田義信の墓があります。私が参拝した際は、歴史好きとおぼしきお年寄りに何故か色々案内されてしまいました。

(Translated by Google) Exit Nojoji Temple and proceed to the left. There is a temple on the left side where you can see the large main hall of Kai-Zenkoji Temple, about a 15-minute walk along the road. It is one of the five mountains of Kofu. As you enter the precincts, you will see a Buddhist temple in the Chinese style that you saw at Seihakuji Temple in Yamanashi City.It has been designated as a national important cultural property (it was built in the Kamakura or Muromachi period, making it a national treasure or important cultural property). The area around the Buddhist hall and main hall is also beautifully maintained. Although there is a fee, you can also enter the garden behind the main hall. It said, ``Please hit the bell at the entrance,'' but no one came out. There was a gardener or someone from the temple in the temple grounds, so I asked them about it, and when I rang the doorbell repeatedly, their wife (grand wife?) came out (she seemed to be hard of hearing). If you can't come out right away, please use this as a reference. I asked him if I would like to receive a stamp, and he left me a note. He was a talkative person, so I forgot to visit the garden and left the temple. The goshuin stamp on the calligraphy is of Yakushi Nyorai, the principal image of Buddha. (Original) 能成寺さんを出て左へ進みます。 道なりに徒歩15分位甲斐善光寺の大きな本堂が見える左手にお寺があります。 甲府五山のひとつです。 境内に入ると、山梨市の清白寺さんでも見かけた唐様の仏堂が目に入ってきます、国の重要文化財に指定されています(建造が鎌倉時代か室町時代で国宝か重文になるみたいですね)。 仏堂や本堂の周りも綺麗に整備されています。 有料ですが、本堂裏の庭園も入る事が出来るようです。 「入口にある鐘を叩いて下さい」とあったのですが誰も出て来ません。 境内に庭師かお寺の方居られたので聞いてみたら、玄関のベルを連打しましたら奥様(大奥様？)が出て来て頂けました(お耳が遠いようです)。 直ぐに出て来られない場合は、参考に。 御朱印を頂きたい旨をお訪ねして書置きを頂きました、お話好きの方で庭園の拝観の事を忘れてお寺を後にしました。 書置きの御朱印は、仏堂本尊の薬師如来様になります。

(Translated by Google) There is a large cemetery behind the temple, but it is rather small for a temple. However, the garden is wonderful and you can take a walk and see the Buddhist temple and bell tower from various angles. Smoking is allowed in the rest area in the garden. There is also ample parking available. It is also close to Kai-Zenkoji Temple, so we recommend stopping by here when you go to Zenkoji Temple. (Original) 裏手に広い墓地がありますが、寺としては小さい方です。 ただ、庭園が素晴らしく散策しながら仏殿や鐘楼を色々な角度から観て廻れます。 庭内の休憩所は喫煙可。 駐車場も充分に確保されています。 甲斐善光寺からも近く、善光寺に行った際はこちらにも立ち寄をおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) The garden was filled with autumn colors, the sunlight was calm and gentle, and there were lots of cute Jizo statues, so I stopped by for a quiet stroll. The atmosphere is very calm and nice, so it might be a good idea to come on a date. It was a nice place, as I thought. (Original) 秋色に染まった庭園と静かでやさしい日光、かわいいお地蔵様がいっぱいいて、散策でひっそり立ち寄らせて頂きました。落ち着いた雰囲気でとても良い、デートで訪れても良いのでは？と思えるくらいには良い所だった。

Wine tastings, both free and paid, are available with seating overlooking the Kofu Plateau. A winery tour is also offered. It's a ten-minute walk from the nearest train station, but be prepared for a challenging uphill climb! If you don’t have a designated driver, be sure to arrange for a taxi.

Not far from Sakaori Station as the crow flies, but straight uphill. The cellar was off limits (COVID-19?), so we just did a quick pass through the self-guided tour and then ordered a couple tasting sets to sip through out on the terrace. Gorgeous views of the basin on clear days.

My wife and I walked here from the nearby train station. There was quite a hill to get here but once we got here the staff provided us with an English tour book and we used it to go on a self guided tour. The facility is amazing! After the tour, we used an app called Voicetra to converse with the staff in English/Japanese and they didn't mind. We had a tasting and enjoyed a glass of wine overlooking the city, which provided a very beautiful view. I loved this place and would highly recommend you visit if you are going to be passing through - if you are walking the hill here is tough but worth it.

There were a few small sample tasters, but the "tour" was an unguided look into a few windows and a quick stroll through a basement room. Mostly it was just a trip to a winery shop. Which did not really have anything reasonably priced.

Coming from Europe I did not appreciate the wine offered here. It lacks deep flavor and is sour.

The place is nice. It is hard to go on foot.

Nice view.

The priest was a little blunt, and not friendly in dealing with a stranger like myself.

It is said that it was founded by Kobo Daishi (Kukaito), the founder of the Shingon sect, in the 3rd year of Daido (808), and Kuya Shonin was the founder in the 9th year of Tenryaku (955). Shiozawaji Jizo-do Hall was designated as a nationally designated important cultural property in 1949 because it is a valuable remains of temple architecture that still retains techniques from the late Muromachi period, such as carvings and groupings.

(Translated by Google) Be sure to visit the Shiozawa Temple Jizo Son Festival to ward off evil spirits. The Shiozawa Temple Jizo Festival is held every year on February 13th and 14th. At Shiozawaji Temple's Jizo Son Grand Festival, one of the two principal idols, the seated stone statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, is said to listen to the wishes of good men and women for 24 hours on that day, allowing them to escape from misfortune, and the festival is crowded with many worshipers and stalls hoping to receive blessings. Banknotes are recommended. There are various amounts depending on the amount, but I buy 5000 yen bills every year. What I recommend is that every morning, he reads your name and prays for my safety. There is also a legend that if men and women in unlucky years offer 1 yen or a round object such as a candy ball to Jizo for the number of years, they will be able to avoid misfortune. (Original) 塩澤寺厄除地蔵尊大祭はぜひ訪れてください。毎年2月13日・14日の2日間、塩澤寺・厄除地蔵尊大祭が開催されています。塩澤寺・厄除地蔵尊大祭は、二本のご本尊のひとつ「石造地蔵菩薩座像」が、この日の24時間だけ耳を聞き、善男善女の願いを聞き入れ厄難を逃れることができると言われており、ご利益にあやかろうと多くの参拝客の方と露店で賑わいます。お勧めなのがお札。金額によっていろいろあるのですが、私は毎年5000円のお札を購入しています。何がおすすめかと言うと、毎朝、お名前を読み上げて私の安全を祈ってくれるからです。 また厄年の男女が、年の数だけ1円や、あめ玉などの丸い物をお地蔵さまにお供えすると、厄を逃れられるとの言い伝えもあります。

(Translated by Google) This temple was founded in 808 when Kobo Daishi went on a pilgrimage to various countries and carved a six-inch (20cm) seated statue. Later, in 955, Kuya erected and enshrined a 2m open door Buddha and founded Shiozawa-dera Temple. During the Kamakura period, Rankei Doryu became the founder of Chuko and rebuilt the various halls. This is a temple of the Chizan sect of the Shingon sect. Shiozawa Temple Jizo-do is a building estimated to have been built at the end of the Muromachi period.It is a one-story wooden building with a hipped roof, a copper plate roof, a tsumairi, a 4-ken girder row, and a 3-ken beam space. The structure is in the vein of an Esoteric Buddhism Buddhist temple, and it was designated as a nationally designated important cultural property in 1949 because it is a valuable remnant of temple architecture that still retains techniques from the Muromachi period, such as carvings and groupings. . You can view the main image through the gap in the handle at the front entrance, but it's dark so it's a good idea to bring a light. A stone statue of Jizo Bodhisattva from the Muromachi period, approximately 1.5 meters in height, is enshrined in the covered hall. Amida Seed Tablet Monument Shiozawa Temple This tablet is made of andesite and is 2.15m high and 1m wide. It was built in 1350, the 6th year of Teiwa. It is engraved with Sanskrit characters (ancient Indian characters) representing Amitabha Buddha. Tankirimacchan Jizo statues whose bodies are made of natural stone can be seen in the Kofu Basin and Suwa Town. It is thought to have been made in the early Edo period, from the late 1600s to the early 1700s. (Original) この寺は、808年、弘法大師が諸国行脚されたおり、六寸（20cm）の座像を彫刻開眼し開創されました。その後、 天暦9年（955年)、空也は、2mの開扉仏を建立安置し、塩澤寺を創建しました。鎌倉時代に蘭渓道隆（らんけい どうりゅう）が中興開山となり、諸堂を再建しました。真言宗智山派のお寺です。 塩沢寺地蔵堂は室町時代末期に建てられたと推定される建物で、木造平屋建て、寄棟、銅板葺、妻入、桁行４間、梁間３間、柱は円柱、外壁は真壁造板張り、内部の構成が密教系仏堂の流れがあるもので、彫刻や組物など室町時代の技術が残る寺院御堂建築の遺構として貴重な事から昭和２４年（１９４９）に国指定重要文化財に指定されています。 正面入り口の取っ手の隙間から本尊を拝観できますが暗いのでライトを用意するとよいでしょう。室町時代の高さ約1.5mの石造りの地蔵菩薩坐像が覆堂の中に鎮座しています。 阿弥陀種子板碑 塩澤寺 この板碑は、高さ2.15m、幅1mの安山岩製です。貞和6年1350年に造立されたものです。阿弥陀仏を示す梵字(古代インド文字)が刻まれています。 たんきりまっちゃん 自然石を胴体としたお地蔵さんは、甲府盆地や諏訪町に見られます。江戸時代前期の1600年後半～1700年前半にかけて作られたと考えられています。

(Translated by Google) Shiozawa-dera Temple certainly had a large waraji. But I'm a little disappointed in that. I tried climbing Mt. Yumura from the back side. At first it was paved, but from the middle it became a normal mountain road. There was a steep road that was a shortcut to go straight, but I didn't force myself to zigzag. The Fuji River should look beautiful, but it was cloudy and I couldn't see it. Descend to the sports park. The road here was better maintained and easier to walk. (Original) 塩澤寺は確かに大わらじがあった。 だけどそれくらいでちょっとガッカリ。 裏側から湯村山に登ってみました。 最初は舗装されていたけど、途中からは普通に山道でした。 真っ直ぐ行く近道的な急勾配の道もありましたが、私はジグザグに無理をせず。 富士川が綺麗に見えるはずが、しっかり曇って見えず。 下山はスポーツ公園に。 こちらの方が道は整備されていて歩き易かったです。

Pagoda looks nice from far away, but when you get closer, you’ll notice that there’s three of them. One is almost completely new, another one is well maintained, and the third one looks terrible - just like the rest of the grounds. They’re probably doing constructions, but it really looks like it had been hit by a storm decades ago and nobody has done anything ever since ... too bad, because it could look really nice ...

We visited my husband’s grandfather shrine. And it was so nice very well preserved and just after obon there was empty.

They are doing some renovation works atm so i couldnt get too close. pagoda looks nice from far away though.

Can't get close...

Currently under massive renovation.

(Translated by Google) This temple is one of the Gozan of Kofu and is said to be where Prince Shingen studied. It was about 5 minutes away from Kofu Station by rental bicycle. It is the family temple of Lord Shingen's mother, Mrs. Oi. I was first surprised by the magnificent gate at the entrance, but there were also a three-storied pagoda and a five-storied pagoda within the precincts, which were quite worth seeing. (Can also be seen from the train) Although it was winter when I visited, there were maple trees planted within the grounds, so I thought I could enjoy the seasonal expressions.

(Translated by Google) This visit will be on April 9, 2025. It is said that the school building was originally located in a different location, but after being moved to the precincts of a shrine, it is now located at the north exit of Kofu Station and is a nationally designated important cultural property that has been converted into an exchange guidance facility and memorial hall. It is said to be a representative work of the Western-style architectural method promoted by Mr. Fujimura, who was the governor of Yamanashi prefecture in the past. Inside, various materials related to Kofu City are displayed. Also on display is the deep pot-shaped pottery excavated from the Goro Ruins, decorated with human faces, which is a cultural property of the Japan Heritage ``Jomon World of the Starry Central Highlands''. It is also said to be a famous place for roses, so they are very beautiful during the season, and the area in front of the station is probably decorated with color. (Original) こちらは2025年04月09日の訪問となります。元は別場所にあった学舎だそうですが、神社境内への移転を経て、現在は甲府駅北口に移設され交流ガイダンス施設、かつ記念館へと転じた国指定重要文化財です。 昔、山梨県令だった藤村さんが推進していた疑洋風建築法の代表作でもあるそうで。中では甲府市に関する様々な資料が展示されています。 日本遺産「星降る中部高地の縄文世界」の構成文化財である人面装飾付深鉢形土器”後呂遺跡出土”も展示されてます。また、薔薇の名所でもあるそうでシーズンはとても美しく、駅前を彩られているのでしょう。

(Translated by Google) This elementary school in the Western style is about 148 years old. The old-fashioned chairs and desks have been preserved, and the stairs and kendama toys are also quite charming. I was impressed that such a fine building sits in front of the station and has been preserved in such beautiful condition. The staff were very friendly and welcomed us with smiles. (Original) 擬洋風建築で、148年ほど前の小学校です。 昔ながらの椅子や机が残されており、階段や遊び道具のけん玉も趣がありました。 これほど素晴らしい建築が駅前にあり、美しい状態を守られていることに感動しました。 スタッフさんも感じのいい方で笑顔でお出迎えしていただきました。

(Translated by Google) October 4, 2025 The Kofu City Fujimura Memorial Hall (former Mutsuzawa School building) is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property located in the plaza at the north exit of JR Kofu Station. This building was constructed in 1875 (Meiji 8) as the Mutsuzawa School building in Mutsuzawa Village, Koma District (now Kamezawa, Kai City). It is a prime example of the pseudo-Western style of architecture promoted by Fujimura Shiro, then governor of Yamanashi Prefecture. Its distinctive features include a Western design combined with Japanese architectural techniques. The central drum tower (turret) is particularly eye-catching. Designated a nationally designated Important Cultural Property in 1967, it was relocated and restored to its current location at the north exit of Kofu Station in 2010. It currently serves as an interactive guidance facility, showcasing exhibits introducing Kofu City's history, culture, and tourism information, and is popular with local residents and tourists alike. Admission is free. (Original) 2025/10/4 甲府市藤村記念館（旧睦沢学校校舎）は、JR甲府駅北口広場に位置する国指定重要文化財です。 この建物は、明治8年（1875年）に巨摩郡睦沢村（現・甲斐市亀沢）に睦沢学校の校舎として建てられました。当時の山梨県令であった藤村紫朗（ふじむら しろう）が推し進めた擬洋風建築の代表例で、和風の建築技術を用いながら洋風のデザインを取り入れているのが特徴です。特に、中央の太鼓楼（塔屋）が目を引きます。 昭和42年に国の重要文化財に指定され、平成22年に現在の甲府駅北口に移築・復元されました。現在は交流ガイダンス施設として、甲府市の歴史や文化、観光情報を紹介する展示を行っており、市民や観光客に親しまれています。入館は無料です。

(Translated by Google) This is the old Mutsuzawa Elementary School building that was relocated to the front of the station. It is currently used as a museum and community center. Admission is free. When you enter, you will be guided at the entrance, which is very informative. The classrooms on the second floor are impressive. (Original) 駅前に移設した旧睦沢小学校の校舎です。現在は資料館や公民館的な感じで使用しています。入館は無料です。入館すると入口で丁寧にガイドしてくださって勉強になります。2階の教室がおーという感じで見ごたえがあります。

(Translated by Google) This is a museum located at the north exit of Kofu Station. I only had a quick look, but there were exhibits on the building itself and the history of the Kofu area. Remnants of the classrooms on the second floor remain as they were. (Original) 甲府駅北口にある資料館です。さっとしか見ていませんが、建物自体の展示や甲府周りの歴史の展示がありました。2階には教室だった名残がそのまま残されています。

(Translated by Google) I visited to get a stamp for Yogaiyama Castle. It was right in front of me when I got off at Kofu Station. The staff were very polite and even gave me a map of the castle's layout. The facility itself had a lot of exhibits, but I didn't have the time or interest to go through them, so I'm sorry 🙏 (Original) 要害山城のスタンプ押すために訪れました。甲府駅を降りたらホントに目の前。施設の方が丁寧に対応してくれて、縄張図もくれました。 施設自体はいろいろ展示されていましたが、時間と興味がなかったのですいません🙏

It's all right if you want some crystals or souvenirs, but it's quite small in the inside.

(Translated by Google) The largest souvenir shop in Kofu city. So it's very convenient because it carries souvenir shops from all over Yamanashi Prefecture. Looking at the reviews, there are quite a few harsh opinions such as the lack of variety of souvenirs, but Kofu city is an area where there are not many souvenir shops in the first place. I also went to the souvenir shop ``Kai no Ajikurabe'' in the Kofu Station building and ``Kabutoya'' in front of Takeda Shrine, and the overwhelming majority of the souvenirs were ``cute crows.'' The drawback is that it is far from Kofu Station, but it still has many attractive products, so I always stop by when I come to Kofu for sightseeing. Especially speaking of Yamanashi, it is boiled shellfish and hotou. There are many types of boiled shellfish, some of which are expensive, while others are relatively inexpensive, which is nice. There are so many types of hoto that it can be hard to decide which one to buy. Also, there were a lot of ``ozara'' available only during the summer. However, if I were to ask for something, I would like to see Yamanashi's specialty processed horse meat products and local cup noodles. I think this is a recommended facility for those looking for souvenirs from Yamanashi Prefecture, especially food. (Original) 甲府市内最大規模の土産店。 なので山梨県全体の土産店を扱っているので、とても便利です。 口コミを見るとお土産の種類が少ないなど、辛口の意見が結構ありますが、そもそも甲府市内は土産店が少ない地域。 甲府駅ビルの土産店「甲斐の味くらべ」や武田神社前にある「かぶとや」にも行きましたが、お土産の種類は「かいてらす」が圧倒的に多いです。 甲府駅から遠いのが難点ですが、それでも魅力的な商品が沢山あるので、甲府に観光で来た際には、必ず寄っています。 特に山梨と言えば、煮貝とほうとう。 煮貝は高価な物もあれば、比較的安価で買える物もあり、多種多様でこれは嬉しいです。 ほうとうも沢山種類があるので、どれを購入しようか迷うほどです。 また、夏季限定で「おざら」も沢山置かれていました。 ただ私の要望とすれば、山梨名物の馬肉の加工品や地元ならではのカップ麺があればなぁ、と思いました。 山梨県内のお土産、特に食品をお探しの方にはオススメの施設だと思いますね。

(Translated by Google) Many Yamanashi Prefecture specialties are on display and for sale, including Koshu Inden, crystal-covered jewelry, and foods such as the familiar Kikyo Shingen mochi and hoto. In particular, the ``Kura no Corner'' sells wine from 38 wineries in the prefecture. (Original) 甲州印伝や水晶を施した宝飾品、お馴染みの桔梗信玄餅やほうとうなどの食品をはじめ、山梨県の名産品がたくさん展示、販売されています。 特に「蔵のコーナー」では、県内ワイナリー38社のワインを扱っているとのこと。

(Translated by Google) They have everything from Yamanashi crafts, wine, jewelry, and local specialties, so it's a great place to not only buy souvenirs but also to learn more about Yamanashi. The store is spacious, but there are so many interesting things to see that it's best to allow yourself plenty of time when visiting. (Original) 山梨の工芸品、ワイン、宝飾、名産物となんでも揃っており、お土産購入だけでなく山梨を知ることにもお勧めです。 店内は広々としていますが、色々と興味を惹かれるので、時間に余裕を持って訪れた方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's hard to tell what kind of facility it is from the street, so it's a bit hesitant to enter. If the signs were a bit more roadside station-like, it would be a great place to stop by, packed with the charms of Yamanashi and perfect for souvenir hunting. There's a wide selection of wines and local sake, perfect for alcohol lovers. There's also a jewelry section unique to Kofu, the city of gems, that's fun to just browse. There's also a wide selection of traditional crafts, such as Koshu Inden, that are well worth a look. It's located right next to Kai Zenkoji Temple, so it's a great place to stop by while sightseeing. (Original) 通りからはなんの施設なのかが分かりづらいので、入るのにちょっとちゅうちょしてしまいます。もう少し道の駅的な案内ができたら、山梨の魅力がぎゅっと詰まった、お土産探しにぴったりの施設なので立ち寄りやすいかと。ワインや地酒の種類が豊富で、お酒好きにはたまりません。また、宝石の街・甲府ならではの宝飾品コーナーは、見ているだけでも楽しめます。甲州印伝などの伝統工芸品も充実しており、見応え十分。甲斐善光寺のすぐ近くにあるので、観光と合わせて立ち寄るのがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) This is my first visit. It's quite a distance from Kofu Station. There aren't many buses, but Kai Zenkoji Temple seems close. There are a variety of Yamanashi souvenirs available, including giant stag beetles for sale. (Original) 初訪問になります。 甲府駅からだと距離が有りますね バスの本数も少なめ　甲斐善光寺は近い感じ 山梨土産が色々有りますね　オオクワガタなんかも販売してました。

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last visited. I stopped by the restaurant on the second floor. It's spacious! ^ ^. It was a weekday, just before lunchtime, so there were seats available and I was able to relax. I sometimes stop by when I'm driving from Isawa to Yumura. They have Yamanashi specialties, which make great souvenirs. (Original) 久しぶりの再訪。 2階にあるレストランに寄りました。 広いですね〜^ ^。 平日，お昼前だったので、空席もあり，ゆっくりできました。 石和から湯村に走る時、たまに寄ります。 山梨の名産品があり、手土産に良いです。

I respect Shingen kou so much.

Very interesting

(Translated by Google) I visited this castle as one of the 100 famous castles. It was Takeda's castle and the diamond-shaped family crest stands out. The approach to Takeda Shrine stretches straight from Kofu Station, and the scenery is wonderful. The treasure museum costs 500 yen, but it is a bit expensive considering the amount of exhibits. It is worth it if you want to see the hanging scrolls of the 24 Takeda generals. That was what I came for, so it was good, but I wish they would increase the number of exhibits a bit more. Also, the staff at the shrine are not that friendly. (Original) 百名城で訪問。武田の居城であり菱形の家紋が映えます。甲府駅からまっすぐに参道がここ武田神社に伸びており景観が素晴らしいです。宝物館は500円掛かりますが展示物の量を考えると割高です。武田24将の掛け軸をみたいのであればありです。私はそれ目当てだったので良かったですがもうちょっと展示物増やしてほしい。あと神社のスタッフの愛想はそこまでフレンドリーではない

(Translated by Google) I went on a Saturday at the end of August. I arrived at the shrine around 9am and was surprised at how many people were there. I went by car, and when I faced the shrine, I turned right and parked immediately. *The closest parking lot to the shrine is probably next to the Treasure Hall on the shrine grounds. In this case, turn right, keep going and then turn left. The shrine is at the top of a long, uphill climb from the station, so if you enter the grounds, climb the stairs, and look back, you'll be able to see the entire town. Considering that it's the remains of a mansion and castle, it was moving to think that Takeda Shingen might have seen this view. The shrine itself isn't that large, but the phrase "you can feel history firsthand" is a fitting description of the place. The Treasure Hall also displays many items related to the Takeda clan, making it a must-see. The museum nearby also has a wide variety of items and the building is beautiful, but the quality of the collection is on a completely different level, so if you visit Takeda Shrine, be sure to also visit the treasure hall. (Original) 8月末の土曜日に行きました。 神社には朝9時頃到着しましたが、結構人が多くて驚きました。 車で行きましたが、神社を正面に見て右折してすぐのところに停めました。 ＊恐らく神社に一番近い駐車場は境内の中にある宝物殿横かと思います。この場合は右折してそのまま進み左です。 駅から神社まで坂をずーっと登った先にあるので、境内に入り階段を登って後ろを振り向くと街全体を見渡せます。館跡、城跡ということを考えると、この景色を武田信玄も見たのかなと思うと感慨深かったです。 神社自体はそこまで大きくありませんが、「歴史を肌で感じられる」と言う言葉が相応しい場所でした。 また、宝物殿には武田家ゆかりの品が多数展示されており、ここは必須・必見の場所です。 すぐ近くのミュージアムも色々な品があり、建物が綺麗で良かったですが、収蔵品のレベルが段違いのモノばかりですので、武田神社に行かれる際は、宝物殿にも是非行ってみてください。

(Translated by Google) The ruins of the mansions of three generations of the Takeda clan: Lord Nobutora, Lord Harunobu, Lord Shingen, and Lord Katsuyori. It stands on a small hill, offering a panoramic view of the castle town. It is now Takeda Shrine, a tranquil place where the Oyakata-sama are enshrined. The gardens are also meticulously maintained. (Original) 武田氏三代 信虎公 晴信❖信玄公 勝頼公　の館跡 小高い丘に建ち、城下が一目で見渡せる立地。 現在は武田神社として、御館様を祀る静謐な場所です。 庭の手入れも行き届いていました。

(Translated by Google) During cherry blossom season, I took a bus from Kofu Station to visit Takeda Shrine. It was a busy morning, so there weren't many people. I bought a castle seal there as a souvenir. On the way back, I took a leisurely walk back to Kofu Station. The cherry blossoms lining the avenue were beautiful, and I passed Yamanashi University along the way. (Original) 櫻花季的時候 我由甲府駅出發 乘坐巴士前往參觀武田神社 早上的時間遊人不多 我在那裡購買了御城印作為紀念 回程時 我選擇慢步回甲府駅 大道兩旁的櫻花很漂亮 中途會經過山梨大學。

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 11, 2025 This was the residence of the Takeda clan, who dominated the late Sengoku period. The castle has since disappeared, leaving only a shrine dedicated to Takeda Shingen. There's also a bus from Kofu Station to Yakata, making transportation convenient. (Original) 25.08.11. 방문 전국 시대 후기를 주름 잡았던 타케다 가문의 거처이고 성은 없어지고 타케다 신겐을 모시는 신사만 있습니다. 고후역에서 야카타까지 버스도 있어서 교통이 좋습니다.

(Translated by Google) After visiting Takeda Shrine, we visited Shingen's grave. The road in front is narrow and the grave is tucked away in a slightly difficult to find location. When you hear Takeda Shingen's grave, you might imagine it to be something very impressive, but it's not that big. It seems you can park in the education center parking lot opposite. We highly recommend visiting here if you visit Takeda Shrine. (Original) 武田神社に寄った後にこちらの信玄公の墓にお伺いさせていただきました。 前面道路は細く少しわかりずらい場所にひっそりとあります。 武田信玄のお墓ときくとさぞかし立派なものをイメージしてしまいますが、そこまで大きくありません。 駐車場は向かいにある教育センターの駐車場を利用していいようです。 武田神社に寄った際にはぜひこちらに行くことをおすすめそます。

(Translated by Google) The cremation grave of Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Shingen. The local community has been taking good care of it, and I was able to offer the incense I had brought with me. Thank you very much. I was impressed that Okata-sama is still loved by the local community. (Original) 武田晴信❖信玄公の火葬塚。 地域の皆様が大切に管理しており、持参したお線香をあげることができました。ありがとうございました。 御館様が今も地域の皆様に慕われていることに感銘を受けました。

(Translated by Google) It is said to be the place where Lord Shingen's body was cremated, and is also called the cremation mound. Other graves of Lord Shingen can be found throughout the country, including Daisenji Temple and Erinji Temple in Yamanashi Prefecture, Lake Suwa, Chogakuji Temple and Ryuunji Temple in Nagano Prefecture, Koyasan in Wakayama Prefecture, Fukudenji Temple in Aichi Prefecture, and Myoshinji Temple in Kyoto. This is thought to be due to the fact that Lord Shingen's will required him to keep his mourning period secret for three years, and also due to fear of foreign enemies, which is why he kept his burial site secret. (Original) 信玄公の遺体を火葬した場所だといわれ、火葬塚とも呼ばれています。 信玄公の墓はこのほか、山梨県内では大泉寺、恵林寺、長野県の諏訪湖、長岳寺と竜雲寺、和歌山県高野山、愛知県福田寺、京都の妙心寺など全国にあります。 これは信玄公が遺言によって、喪を3年間秘めていたことや万一の外敵を恐れて、埋葬地を秘密にしていた結果ともみられています。

(Translated by Google) The tomb is surrounded by a residential area with one-story houses. A little further north is a cemetery where Takeda Shingen's wife is buried. After returning to the hotel after visiting the tomb, I discovered that there is a tomb of the third generation of Takeda not far south of this tomb. It seems that Takeda Shingen's true tomb is there, and this seems to be just a cremation site. (Original) 此墓週邊是平房住宅區，再往北一點是一個墓園，武田信玄的夫人葬在那座墓園。參拜完回旅館後，才發現此墳南邊不遠處有一個武田三代墓，似乎武田信玄的真墓是在那裡，而此處似乎只是一個當年火葬的位置。

(Translated by Google) About 200 years after Shingen's death, a sarcophagus containing his remains was discovered at this site. It has been beautifully maintained, and there is a free parking lot nearby. However, some historians say that the sarcophagus is a fake, so caution is advised. The gist of the information board is that ① The sarcophagus found had Shingen's name and date of death written on it. ② It is said that Shingen's body was placed at the residence of Tsuchiya Masatsugu, where he was cremated. It is also said that the Tsuchiya residence was located in Iwakubo. ③ Iwakubo was known as the "Maenzuka" (Evil Mound), and people were afraid to approach it. Therefore, it is without a doubt that it is Shingen's remains. However, there are also opinions that refute this, such as ① The story that the body was placed at the Tsuchiya residence is a later fabrication. The Tsuchiya residence is also not located in Iwakubo. ② The year Shingen was supposedly cremated written on the sarcophagus differs from the primary sources. 3) The year the sarcophagus was discovered was when the shogunate was trying to abolish the Koshu masu made by Shingen, and there was a strong opposition movement in Kofu. For these and other reasons, it is likely that they wanted to use the major event of the discovery of the remains to create momentum for honoring Shingen, and dissuade the shogunate from abolishing the Koshu masu? Perhaps the sarcophagus was faked for this purpose? However, it seems that there is no doubt that Iwakubo was known as the "Maenzuka" and "Cremation Tomb," so it is possible that Shingen was cremated here. (Original) 信玄公の死後およそ200年後に、この場所で信玄公の遺骨が納められた石棺が発見されたとのことです。 とても綺麗に整備され、近くには無料の駐車場もあります。 しかし発見された石棺は偽物だと述べる歴史学者もおり注意が必要です。 説明板の要旨は、 ①発見された石棺には信玄公の名前や死亡日などが書かれていた。 ②信玄公の遺体は土屋昌続邸に安置され、そこで火葬されたと言われている。その土屋邸は岩窪にあったとも言われている。 ③岩窪は「魔縁塚」と呼ばれ、人が恐れ近づかなかった場所。 よって信玄公の遺骨で間違いない、とのことです。 しかしそれに対する反論する意見もあり、 ①遺体の安置場所が土屋邸というのは後世の作り話。また土屋邸の場所も岩窪ではない。 ②石棺に書かれた信玄公を火葬したとする年が一次資料と異なる。 ③石棺が見つかった年は幕府が信玄公が作った甲州枡を廃止しようとした時期で、甲府では反対運動が盛んだった。 などなどの理由から恐らく、 遺骨の発見という一大イベントから信玄公を顕彰する気運を盛り上げて、甲州枡の廃止を幕府に思いとどまらせようとしたのではないか？ そのために石棺を偽造したのではないか？ とのことです。 ただし、岩窪が「魔縁塚」「火葬塚」と呼ばれていたことは間違い無いそうで、ここで信玄公が火葬された可能性はあるとのことです。

(Translated by Google) It is quietly enshrined next to a kindergarten. There are several graves of Lord Shingen, but it seems that he was cremated in this area and hidden for three years as per his will. (Original) 幼稚園の横にひっそりと祀られています。信玄公のお墓は何カ所かありますが、この辺りで火葬され遺言どおり三年間隠されていた場所らしいです。

(Translated by Google) This is the place where Takeda Shingen is said to have been buried after being cremated. There is no parking nearby, and the surrounding roads are very narrow, so care should be taken when visiting by car. (Original) 荼毘に付された武田信玄が埋葬されたとされる場所。付近に駐車場はなく、周辺の道もとても狭いので車での来訪は注意が必要｡

Terrible conditions. It was upsetting to see the animals is such small cages or tiny concrete enclosures with nothing to stimulate them. My Daughter kept asking to save them, it was that bad

A simple place to be in. This is, for me, like a mini zoo. It isn't as big as all others I've been to, but the kids still enjoyed here especially my youngest who loves animals so much! The entrance fee is okay, though. (¥320 for adults and ¥30 for kids - not quite sure their age ranges)

I liked this place but it did look run down...old. I was surprised to see that they had the animals that are at big zoos. I think many areas need to be painted and the facilities need to be updated for a more enjoyable experience. Besides that, I was able to enjoy my daughter seeing animals like penguins, tigers, lions and others for the first time. Once again, the habitats for the big animals look like they are the most basic possible. Just concrete with very little vegetation doesn't seem like they would be happy. This is a huge park with several places to see and for kids to play around, but I hope that the parks management can find the funds to put into the park to make it better for the animals and visitors as well.

Currently under construction, but the animals are being kept in their cages around the construction site. The noise must be very distressing for them. Doesn’t seem ethical at all!

Great little park. The recent update makes it more enjoyable for kids of all ages. I can’t wait until the zoo opens back up. The new temple looks really nice as well.

Everyone should come to this zoo. Not because it's good, but the animals need more money for better housing. They looked all so sad in the small cages and such. Please come and support the zoo so the animals can have a better life. Also I wouldn't mind paying ¥500 for an entrance fee to help out.

Excellent for kids, but adults might find it too small

Inden'' is a leather craft that has been passed down in Koshu for over 400 years, and "Indenya'' is a long-established`"Koshu Inden'' as laquered deer skin workshop & atelier founded since 1582 (. They have a small museum in the second floor and a video to learn about Inden, and a large and nice store in the first floor. Products are unique, and some are being co-designed by prestigious firms and brands. In general all products are pricey, elegant, and high grade. Japanese will know about Inden products when they see them or get a present. I purchased some bags, and happy to know the story and traditions bringing up this craft, now turned into a high end products.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Love the designs. Purchased a wallet

(Translated by Google) First visit on November 6, 2024. The bus guide said that if you're early, you can finish watching it in 10 minutes. Do they charge an admission fee for something that only takes 10 minutes? That's what I thought, but I really enjoyed making bookmarks. (Original) 2024/11/6、初来館。 バスガイドさんが、早い人だったら10分で見終わると言っていました。たった10分で見終わるものに入館料を取るのか？と思いましたが、しおり作りが楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's a deerskin brand that has been around for over 400 years✨ The museum entrance fee is 200 yen, and you can learn about the history of Inden and watch a video of the craftsmen at work. The shop staff were very friendly, and I was surprised by the high-quality leather, the beautiful, shiny design, and how light the items were when I picked them up. (Original) 400年以上続く鹿革のブランドです✨ 博物館は入館料200円で印伝さんの歴史や、職人さんのお仕事動画を見ることができました。 ショップの店員さんもとても感じがよく、上質な革に美しく光沢があるデザイン、手に取ると想像以上に軽いお品物に驚きました。

(Translated by Google) The first time I got my hands on genuine Inden was at Koshu Inden-ya. The first thing I encountered was fake, and looking back, the texture and manufacturing process were different. The real thing is completely different, and with each year of use, it becomes more familiar and refined in its own way. I now have several pieces, and they're all great. If there's a shape you like, just ask and they'll bring out a variety of patterns and colors. Sometimes they don't have what you're looking for, but if you're consistent, you can give up and try again, or choose from among them. Once it becomes yours, I think it will become even more beautiful. I think it's a good idea to casually sneak in one piece of Japanese-made Koshu Inden into your personal items. If you start with the real thing, you'll soon want another one. 2025.10 (Original) 私が初めて本物の印傳を手にしたのが甲州印傳屋でした。最初に出会った物は偽物で、今思えば肌触りも違えば、製法も違う物でした。 やっぱり本物は全然違うし、年々と使うたびに自分なりに馴染んで仕上がっていきます。 今ではいくつかの品を持っていますが、全部良い感じです。 気になる形があれば声を掛けると、いろいろな柄や色を出していただけます。中には目当てのが無い事もありますが、ぶれないならばあきらめてまた出直すか、それともその中から選ぶか？ 自分の物になればまたそれも良い物になると思います。 日本製甲州印傳を一つは自分アイテムにさりげなくしのぱせると良いと思います。 最初の印傳は本物から始めるとすぐに次のアイテムが欲しくなる。 2025.10

(Translated by Google) It is a family business that has been in operation for 14 generations and is a representative company in Yamanashi. Craftsmanship. Soft material made of young deer leather. It's nice to see universities and companies working together in the region. (Original) 14대째 이어진 가업으로 야마나시의 대표적인 기업입니다. 장인정신. 어린사슴 가죽으로 난들어 부드러운 소재. 지역에서 대학 기업이 서로 협력하는 모습이 좋네요

(Translated by Google) The second floor is a mini museum. The first floor is a shop with a wide selection of deerskin products on display. The deerskin is decorated with patterns made with lacquer, and contrary to expectations, it's surprisingly soft. Affordable wallets cost around 4,000 yen. While handbags and other items can cost tens of thousands of yen, there are also stamp holders in the 1,000 yen range, which makes it fun to browse. There's a large parking lot next to the store. (Original) 二階がミニ博物館になっています 一階はショップで鹿皮の製品が数多く展示されています 鹿皮にウルシで模様をつけてあるのですが予想に反して鹿皮の柔らかさにびっくり 手ごろな財布で4000円ほどです ハンドバックなどは数万のものもありますが千円台の印鑑入れもあり見て回るのも楽しいです 駐車場は店の横に広い場所があります

Mt. Kinpu wasn't a easy hike especially during winter. It was difficult! it took me 7hrs to reach almost the peak I still have 15 mins to reach it but I decided to turn back before reaching the peak I don't have the proper gear and the black ice quite crazy up! I started my hike 9am I was 2 hrs late but still happy to reach and saw those beautiful scenery. While I was going up everyone heading down it's scares me & never hike alone during winter 🥶 and without proper gear. Muscle pain & my experience was good + scenery was 🤙🤘😀 you never fail to make me happy glorious mountain!

The mountain trail is well maintained. Reservations are required to travel by bus to Ohdarumi Pass.

Mt. Kimpu is for beginners like pop music. If you are a hard climber, you might be lettle boring like classical music. Either you are a hard climber or not, you will be able to enjoy great view. On the way to the top of the mountain, you can see the view of Mt. Fuji. That's really amazing, like Opera. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can find stacked rocks. lf one of the rock is rolling down, you can feel Rock'n roll!

Mt. Kinpu is the high mountaine of the altitude 2599 m at the western end of the Oku-Chichibu mountain range. A great view without obstructions from its top beyond the forest limit is really wonderful. People who love mountain landscapes in Japan shall climb this mountain once at all. If it is from Oodarumi Pass it is possible to make a round - trip with climbing half a day. If the weather is fine, you can walk with a hiking mood but because it is a mountain road that exceeds 2000 m in altitude, clothing and equipment to prepare for sudden weather change are essential. Also, because it is on the ridgeline, there is no water field on the way. Oodarumi Pass with an average altitude of 2365 m with paved woodland roads and parking lots. There is only an altitude difference of only 234 m from here to 2599 m of Mt. Kinpu. However, the mountain climbing road is not flat as it has Mt. Asahi-dake, Mt. Tstuzan up / down on the way. Also, there are few observation paths in the forest of Shirabiso etc. There is a place where the forest opened in the vicinity of the top of Mt. Asahi-dake, and the view of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kinpu from here is wonderful. Mt. Tetuzan has no view in the forest. Then, we go beyond the forest limit and open up our prospects, we arrive at Mt. Kinpu. On the summit of Mt. Kinpu, we can see Gojo-iwa rock in front, Mt. Fuji on the left, Southern Alps from the back of the Gojo-iwa rock to the right, Hoo (phenix) three mountains, Mt. Kai-Komagatake, In addition, in the back right in the Central Alps, Mt. Ontake, Mt. Norikura, right in front of Mt. Yatsugatake, Mt. Mizugaki, far from right, there are Northern Alps, Mt. Yari (spear), Mt. Hodaka, hidden in far far back, there are Usiro-takeyama mountains, Mt. Hakuba (white horse), Mt. Asama in the right hand, etc., etc. You can see the main mountains located in the central part of the Japanese archipelago. Again, if a person who loves mountain landscapes in Japan, it is the mountain that want you to climb once.

(Translated by Google) After climbing Kyushu's 100 famous mountains, I decided to tackle the west side. For now, when I have a long vacation, I'll climb the 100 famous mountains of Japan. On other weekends, I'd like to climb the 100 famous mountains of China or the 100 famous mountains of China! (By the time I'm 55), but I'm afraid of bears. This time, I'll climb Mt. Fuji and climb the 100 famous mountains of Japan near Yamanashi on my annual refreshment vacation (5 consecutive weekdays off). Day 1: Travel to Moji, arriving in the evening to board the ferry. Moji⇛Osaka Minami (17:00⇛05:30) on the prestigious Taiyo Ferry Day 2: Arrive Osaka Minami and travel on the highway. After that, we went to Mt. Amagi, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 3: Mt. Fuji, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 4: Mt. Kobushigatake, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 5: Nearby corporate museum (KDDI, Linear Shinkansen). Day 6: Mt. Kumotori, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 7: Mt. Ryokami, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 8: Mt. Kinpu + Mt. Mizugaki, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Day 9: After climbing Mt. Daibosatsurei, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, we moved to Kobe Port and took the Hankyu Ferry. Kobe Port (departure at 18:30) → Shinmoji Port (arrival at 07:00 the next morning). Day 10: Arrived home. ~Comments on Mt. Mizugaki and Mt. Kinpu~ 20250719 Climbing There are only 2 days left😭 The parking lot is quite large, but there are a lot of climbers on weekends, so we slept in the car at the prefectural parking lot at Mt. Mizugaki. I arrived in the evening and 10% of the parking lot was filled. It seemed like people who were camping or staying on the mountain were using the parking lot. The rest of the people were staying there beforehand, but some people came in the middle of the night. You can eat in the parking lot, so it's very open. However, there are a lot of bugs. They even got into my car. But the starry sky was beautiful. (I made a mistake by not taking a photo.) Also, the public paid toilets were clean, but they were too far from the parking lot. Today was the main dish of this climb of the 100 famous mountains of Japan (I was a little unsure because of the distance, altitude difference, and time, and I had a bitter memory of giving up because of muscle pain during a past consecutive climb. Because of this, I did a lot of research, but in the end, I decided to just put on a lot of compresses the day before and not push myself (lol). I also considered which way to climb, but in the end, I decided on Mt. Mizugaki - Mt. Kinpu. (My personality is to finish the hard part first and then tackle the easier part, but in the end, this pattern was the right choice mentally and physically.) I was planning to get up at 4:30 and start at 5:30 or 6:00, but the parking lot started to get busy at 4:00 (maybe cars came while I was sleeping lol) and more people started climbing at 5:00, so I thought I should climb early and get down early too, so I started climbing at 5:30. Everyone was going to the toilet side, so I thought that was the trailhead, but they were just going to the toilet. The trailhead is on the corner of the parking lot, but it's better to go to the toilet for a long trail (lol). By the way, I woke up and went to the toilet around 5:00 in the morning, and the toilet jam shows that everyone starts climbing early (lol). I got the trailhead wrong from the beginning, and after 200m I got lost. There is a river, but I have to force my way through it. This pattern is common on this trail, so please be careful. I mean, you have to walk through a lot of places where water is flowing💦 Also, there aren't many signs on the route, but I think you can manage it (lol) So, I was able to get to Fujimi-daira hut without any problems. I looked at the price of the meal and thought 1800 yen for curry is expensive, so I headed for Mizugakiyama, but when I saw the top of the mountain, I thought it was a great mountain, but I was like, "Ah, we're going down?", and after that, I had to climb up a steep slope while holding onto rocks💦 I thought it wouldn't take that long, but it took me 1:50 to get back to Fujimi-daira hut💦 Although it was an unexpected time, I tried not to push myself too hard, but in the end, I was pacing myself pretty fast💦 Also, I felt like I was climbing Mizugakiyama to Kinpuyama. By the way, the summit of Mt. Mizugaki was so nice that I wanted to keep going, but I didn't want to fall off the cliff because I felt too good, so I left after a while (lol). From Fujimi-daira hut to Mt. Kinpu, it felt like a normal climb up to Maruyama, but the distance felt long. After that, although it didn't reach Mt. Mizugaki, there were many steep climbs and the footing was poor. There are chains on both mountains, but they're not that bad. However, the summit and the sides of the road are cliffs, so be careful because it's a common pattern of hanging your load on a tree and falling off, resulting in instant death. As we got closer to the square rock at the summit, I thought we were almost there, but the footing was poor and we couldn't reach the summit of Mt. Kinpu, but we managed to reach the summit safely while taking pictures of the spectacular scenery around us.💦 The summit was just wide, and everyone was having fun. Personally, I was watching as a third party because it is said that the signpost at the summit was not well supported and the two men fell over (sorry). I was overwhelmed by the unique mountains such as the nearby 100 Famous Mountains of Japan and Mt. Mizugaki. Personally, I thought it was close to Miyanoura-dake on Yakushima, but I feel that this one is more rocky, but both mountains are popular and have long climbing times. Also, this mountain is basically a rocky mountain and the footing is too bad. Therefore, in this climbing plan, it is very difficult to walk and you have to climb a long distance and a difference in altitude, so I recommend starting the climb early or choosing one of the mountains first. This time, it took 8:10 to go from Mt. Mizugaki Prefectural Parking Lot to Fujimi-daira Hut to Mt. Kinpu to Fujimi-daira Hut to Mt. Mizugaki Prefectural Parking Lot. I took a fair amount of breaks and took photos, but I think it was the longest time I've ever climbed💦 However, even though I was tired from the second half of this climbing plan, I was able to finish the climb without getting tired, so I think I was able to move at a slow pace without pushing myself too hard. If I lived nearby, I would like to come to this mountain many times, even though it's a long distance, because it's a mountain that mountain lovers can't resist, but next time I probably won't tackle Mizugaki-san and Kinpu-san (lol) By the way, some people were climbing both mountains, while others were only climbing one mountain. There were some elementary school students, so I thought my child was my child (lol) Changing the subject, I actually wanted to go to Kinpu-san hut, but I was tired and it took a fair amount of time, so I ended up not going...However, at Fujimi-daira hut, I had a coffee for 800 yen, which I thought was expensive, but I could choose from a variety of beans, and although I was tired, I thought it was delicious. Thanks to it, my fatigue disappeared. Also, the parking lot after we got down was full and cars were parked on the roads around. The GPS was working fine. I thought the camera had recovered, but I was worried about it. As I got closer to the summit, I relaxed and there were water droplets around the camera again (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧The photos of the summit were cloudy. The worst. (Original) 九州100名山のおかわりを終えて、西側を攻めることとしました。 とりあえず、長期休暇が取れるときは日本百名山。 それ以外の週末は中国百名山又は中国百名山を制したいな!（55歳までには）けど、熊が怖いけど 今回は年に一度取得できるリフレッシュ休暇（平日5日連続休暇）で、富士山登頂と山梨近辺の日本百名山を攻めます。 一日目 乗り込みのため、夕方着で門司まで移動。 名門大洋フェリーで門司⇛大阪南（17:00⇛05:30） 二日目 大阪南到着し高速で移動。その後、日本百名山 天城山 三日目 日本百名山 富士山 四日目 日本百名山 甲武信ヶ岳 五日目 近隣の企業ミュージアム（KDDI、リニア新幹線） 六日目 日本百名山 雲取山 七日目 日本百名山 両神山 八日目 日本百名山 金峰山＋瑞牆山（みずかぎやま） 九日目 日本百名山 大菩薩嶺 登山後神戸港まで移動し阪九フェリーで 神戸港（18:30発）→ 新門司港（翌朝07:00着） 十日目 家にたどり着く の工程となります。 〜瑞牆山・金峰山 コメント〜 20250719登山 残り2日となりました😭 駐車場はそれなりに広いが、週末は登山者が多いとのことで、瑞牆山県営駐車場に車中泊。 夕方着で1割駐車場が埋まっており、山でキャンプ又は宿泊している人が駐車場を利用している感じて、残りは事前泊でしたが、夜中に来る方もいました。 食事は駐車場で食べれて開放的。 ただ、虫が多し。車にも入ってきた💦 ただ、星空が綺麗だった✨️（写真撮りそこねたのが失敗） あと、公営の有料トイレはきれいな方ですが、駐車場から遠すぎ。 本日は今回の日本百名山登山のメインディッシュ（距離と標高差及び時間的な余裕がないため、若干自身がなかったというか、過去の連チャン登山時に筋肉痛で断念した苦い思い出があったため💦） このため、入念な下調べをしたけど結果的には、前日にたくさん湿布貼って無理しないことやな(笑) あと、どちらから登るかも検討したが、結果的には、瑞牆山⇛金峰山に落ち着いた。（私の性格的に最初にきついのを終わらせて、後は楽なのを攻めるのがタイプだったが、結果的には精神的又は体力的に、このパターンが正解でした） 4:30起きで5:30から6:00スタートで考えてましたが、4:00には駐車場が賑わってきて（寝ている間に来た車かも(笑)）5:00から登りだしている人が増えだし、自分も早く登って早く下山しようと思い5:30登山開始。 皆がトイレ側に行っていたのでそちらが登山口かと思っていたが、ただ単にトイレ行っていただけで、駐車場角側が登山口ですが、ロングトライルのためトイレに行ったほうが良いですね(笑) ちなみに、朝起きて5:00位にトイレに行きましたが、トイレ渋滞するくらい皆様方の登山開始が早いことがわかります(笑) 最初っから登山口を間違い、200mしたら直ぐに道に迷う。 川があるがそれを強引に行く必要がある。 このパターンは、この登山道ではよくあるので、皆様方のご注意を。 というか、水が流れているところも結構歩かないといけない💦 あと、ルートの目印も少ないが、基本的には何とかなるかと思う(笑) そんなこんなで、富士見平小屋までは難なく行ける。食事の値段を見るとカレー1800円高いな〜と思い、瑞牆山を目指すが、山頂を見るとすげぇ〜山だなぁと思いつつ、えっ下るんかいという場面が、それが終わるとそこからの岩を掴みながらの急登急登💦 そこまで、時間かからんやろうと思ったが、富士見平小屋まで戻るに1時50分かかった💦 予定外の時間ではあるものの、あまり、無理しないようにしていたが、結果的にはペース配分早いな💦 あと、瑞牆山を登って金峰山行ってると勝手に感じた。 ちなみに、瑞牆山山頂は山頂自体と周りが絶景で、このままずっとしたかったくらい気持ちよかったが、気持ちよくなりすぎて崖から落ちたらいかないので、ある程度して出発してます(笑) 富士見平小屋から金峰山方向は丸山位までは普通の登りと感じたが、距離は長く感じた。 それ以降は、瑞牆山まではいかないものの、急登が多々あり、その上、足場は悪い。 なお、両山ともに鎖があるが、大した事ない。 ただ、山頂や道中のサイドが崖であり、木に荷を掛けて落っこちて即死のパターンはあるあるパターンかと思うので要注意です。 山頂の四角い岩が近づくにつれ、後少しと思いながらも、足場が悪い中、なかなか金峰山山頂には届かないものの、周りの絶景に写真を取りながら無事に登頂💦 山頂はただ広く、皆さん色々と楽しまれておりました。 個人的には、山頂の道標の支えが悪く、二人がエッ倒れたと言われており、第三者として見ていました（すいません） 近隣の日本百名山や瑞牆山を代表とする独特の山に圧倒されました。 個人的には、屋久島の宮之浦岳に近い山と思いましたが、こちらの方がThe岩山と感じますが、両山ともに登山時間や人気の山には変わりないですね。 あと、基本的にこの山は石山であり足場が悪すぎ。よって、今回の登山計画の中では非常に歩きづらく長い距離と標高差を登らないといけないので、早めの登山開始をお勧めするか、どちらから一方の山を勧めます。 今回は、瑞牆山県営駐車場⇛富士見平小屋⇛金峰山⇛富士見平小屋⇛瑞牆山県営駐車場のルートで8:10かかりました。 それなりに休憩や写真撮影をしてますが、今までの登山の中では最長時間かと思います💦 けど、今回の登山計画の後半で疲れもある中、後半もバテることもなく登り終えたので、ゆっくりとした工程で無理せず移動できたのではと思ってます。 近くに住んでいれば、距離は長いものの、山好きにはたまらない山なので、何回も来たい山ですが、次回は瑞牆山と金峰山は攻めないかな(笑) ちなみに、両山を攻めている人もいれば、片山しか攻めていない人もいました。 小学生低学年もいたので、家の子供は俺の子かと思いました(笑) 話は変わりますが、本当は金峰山小屋に行きたかったんですが、それなりの時間と疲れもあったので行かずじまいに…ただ、富士見平小屋で、高いとは思ったもののコーヒー800円を頂きましたが、豆から色々選べて、疲れているのもあるかもしれませんが、うまっと思いました。お陰で疲れも飛んだ。 あと、下山後の駐車場は満杯で周りの道路に車が路駐しまくりでした。 GPS調子良し カメラも回復したと思いつつも、気にしていたものの、山頂に近づくにつれ気が緩み、またまた、カメラ周りに水滴が(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧山頂の写真に曇りが。最悪。

(Translated by Google) Mount Kinpu (Koshu Mitakesan) is 2,599m above sea level and is one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. There are hiking trails from the Masutomi Radium Hot Springs side on the west side and from Oyari Pass on the east side, and from Oyari Pass it takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes to climb from the summit to Gojoiwa Rock. Near the summit you pass the tree line and a ridge with a great view continues. Gojoiwa Rock is the most famous landmark on Mount Kinpu. It is the sacred object of the inner shrine of Kinzakura Shrine, and these days there is a sign prohibiting climbing on Gojoiwa Rock. Near the summit the hiking trail is full of rocks and is difficult to walk on. (Original) 金峰山(甲州御岳山)は標高は２５９９ｍで日本百名山です。登山道は西側の増富ラジウム温泉側からと東側の大弛峠からの登山道があり、大弛峠からは２時間１５分くらいで山頂から五丈岩まで登ることができます。山頂付近は森林限界を越え展望の良い稜線が続きます。金峰山と言えば五丈岩です。金櫻神社奥宮の御神体でこの頃は五丈岩には登るのは禁止の表示板があります。山頂付近は石がゴロゴロの歩きづらい登山道が続きます。

(Translated by Google) We arrived from Fujimidaira Hut! As we gradually gained elevation, the views along the way opened up! This trail offers a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. ♪ At the summit, there's a massive rock formation called Gojoishi, which is truly impressive! 360-degree views and Gojoishi! Mt. Kinpu is amazing! (Original) 富士見平小屋からやってきました！段々と標高を上げると道中景色が広がってきます！ 富士山が綺麗に見えとても素晴らしいトレイルです♪ 山頂には五丈石と呼ばれる積み上がる大岩があり迫力満点です！360度の眺望と五丈石！金峰山凄いっっっ！

(Translated by Google) Visited the shrine on April 29th, Showa Day. After arriving in Kofu using the Minobu Line and visiting Takeda Shrine, I visited Gokoku Shrine in Yamanashi Prefecture. Perhaps because of the holiday, the Takeda Shrine that we visited earlier was bustling with people, but the Gokoku Shrine, which is enshrined nearby, seemed to have fewer tourists, and more local grandfathers, grandmothers, and parents and children. Since it is Gokoku Shrine, it has a solemn atmosphere, but I also saw a friendly atmosphere of families with small children, who appeared to be locals, and I personally thought it had a good atmosphere. I thought that the heroes of Yamanashi Prefecture were also happy with the peaceful daily life at Gokoku Shrine. (Original) 4月29日昭和の日に参拝。 身延線を利用して甲府に到着、武田神社を参拝した後、山梨県護国神社に参拝させて頂きました。 祝日も手伝ってか、先にお参りした武田神社には多くの方が訪れて賑わいをみせていましたが、近くに鎮座している護国神社は観光客と見られる方も少なく、地元の爺ちゃん婆ちゃん・親子の方達がお参りしているようでした。 護国神社ですから荘厳な雰囲気がありますが、地元の方と思われる小さなお子さん連れのご家族の和気あいあいとした姿も拝見して、個人的には良い雰囲気だなと。山梨県の英霊の皆様も、平和な護国神社の日常を喜んでくれているのではと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to visit all the Gokoku Shrines in Japan, so I stopped by here. Apparently there was a festival on the day, and there were stalls selling souvenirs lined up near the second torii gate. I parked my car next to them and climbed a flight of stairs to enter the shrine grounds. There were visitors in front of the large main hall, even though it was a hot day, but I was able to visit quietly. There are also many memorial monuments. The person who was watching the shrine at home said to me, ``It must be hard work,'' and I felt very happy. There is still a long way to go, but thank you. (Original) 全国の護国神社さまにお詣りしたくて、寄らせて頂けました。当日はお祭りだそうで、二の鳥居付近は寄せ物市の露天が並んでいました。その横に車を止めて、少し階段も登って境内。広い拝殿前は暑い日中でしたが参拝客も居られましたが、静かなお詣りが出来ました。慰霊碑も沢山あります。ご朱印帳を見られたお留守番の方に、大変ですねとお声掛け頂き、なんか嬉しい気持ち。まだまだ道程は遠いですが、ありがっ様です。

Each item is well-equipped and feels great. Good ♫ Gokoku Shrine in every prefecture is busy. I ended up diving under the Ichino Torii gate last.

(Translated by Google) A monument to disabled veterans, which is often placed outside the grounds of Gokoku Shrine, can be found within the shrine grounds. Also on the grounds, a shrine has been built to console the Self-Defense Force members who died in the line of duty. There are also monuments for the flight school cadets and nurses, making this a shrine that is considerate of many people. The shrine is also home to many mascot cats. Be sure to visit this shrine, along with the nearby Attsu Kannon Temple. (Original) 護国神社の敷地外に置かれがちな「傷痍軍人」の碑が、ちゃんと敷地内にあります。 同じく敷地内に、殉職した自衛官をお慰めするお宮も建てて下さっています。 予科練や看護婦さんのための碑もあり、多くの方へ配慮されている神社さんです。 またこの神社さんには看板ネコたちがたくさん居ます。 近くのアッツ観音と併せ、ぜひ訪れてみて下さい。

(Translated by Google) I made a quick visit on my way to Takeda Shrine. Many Gokoku Shrines, including Niigata Gokoku Shrine, have a solemn atmosphere, so I couldn't help but want to visit when I saw the sign, but it was quite different from what I imagined. It was a Sunday, but a group of neighborhood aunties and grandmothers were spreading out their lunch boxes in the shrine grounds, and I felt a strange emotion... I honestly wished I had just headed to Takeda Shrine. (Original) 武田神社に向かう途中に急遽訪問。 新潟県護国神社を筆頭に護国神社は厳かな雰囲気や空気感があるところが多いので、看板みた瞬間に訪れたい気持ちを抑えきれず訪問しましたが、イメージとだいぶ違いました。 日曜日でしたが、ご近所のおばちゃんやおばあちゃんのグループが境内で弁当を広げており、なんともいえない気持ちに… すぐ武田神社へ向かえばよかったと正直思ってしまった自分がいた。

(Translated by Google) I almost always make the pilgrimage in August. This year I was able to go on the 15th, the anniversary of the end of the war. I think it's only natural for a Japanese person to go and bow to the spirits of those who died for Japan. I think it's definitely worth visiting at least once. (Original) 8月は毎年必ずといって良いほど参拝に行きます。今年は終戦の日15日に行く事が出来ました。 日本の為に亡くなった方々の御霊に頭を下げに行く事は、日本人としてごくあたり前の事であると思います。一度は是非訪れた方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went there after 1pm on a weekday. After praying, I finally got to meet the cats. They were so beautiful, well-behaved and cute😭💖 (Original) 平日の13時過ぎに行きました。御参りのあと念願だった猫ちゃん達に会う事ができました。とっても綺麗で大人しく可愛いかった😭💖

(Translated by Google) Actually, there are quite a lot of things to see in and around Shosenkyo, and it would take quite a while if you tried to visit them all. In addition to Shosenkyo, there are many shrines (like Kanazakura Shrine) that can be accessed at the top by ropeway, so if you try to visit them all in one day, it will be a long trek. Well, it's important to look at various things, including things like that. It may be a good idea to go several times. I've been here several times. The photo is from October 2013. (Original) 実は昇仙峡及びその付近は結構見るところが多く、全部行こうとするとかなり時間がかかります。昇仙峡だけでなく、ロープウェイで上の方とか、付近の神社(金桜神社とかもね)も多く、1日で回ろうとするとかなりの強行軍になります。まあ、そういうことも含めて、いろいろ見ていくことは大事ですね。 何度か行くこともいのかもしれません。ここも何度か行きました。 写真は2013年10月のものです。

(Translated by Google) Shrine below Kanazakura Shrine Because it is small, there were not many worshipers, so I was able to visit slowly. You don't see water fortunes very often, so I chose one out of several. You cannot take photos or record anything beyond the torii gate on the stairs. (Original) 金櫻神社の下にある神社 こじんまりしているので、参拝者は少なくゆっくりお参り出来ました。 水みくじは、あまり見かけないのでいくつかあるおみくじから水みくじを選びました。 階段上の鳥居から奥は、写真、録画は出来ません。

(Translated by Google) I received a goshuin stamp while praying. There's also a parking lot right in front. For 300 yen I was able to view the sacred tree. (Original) 参拝ついでに御朱印もらいました。 目の前に駐車場もあります。 300円で御神木を拝見させていただけました。

(Translated by Google) I paid 300 yen to see the sacred tree behind the shrine, and was energized by the priest's fascinating explanation and the sacred tree itself. Photography of the sacred tree is strictly prohibited, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out!! You'll also receive a pair of commemorative chopsticks. (Original) 300円を払って神社の裏手の御神木を見学、神主さんの面白い説明と御神木に元気をいただきました。 御神木は撮影厳禁なので、興味のある方は是非！！ 記念のお箸もいただけます。

(Translated by Google) Kanazakura Shrine, located directly below and to the right of the first torii gate. It is a small shrine, but as the name suggests, there is a sacred tree! is. I think it would be a good idea for married couples, couples, and those who want to be blessed with children to go. You will realize this when you see the sacred tree. It also makes me appreciate being alone as a couple. We heard about the origin of the tree from the chief priest, and received power from the sacred tree. I'll still do my best! (Original) 金桜神社、一の鳥居より右下に直ぐあります。 こじんまりとした神社様ですが、名前のとおり、御神木が！です。 御夫婦やカップル、子宝に恵まれたい方は行かれたらよろしいかと思います。 御神木を見たら実感するでしょう。 また、夫婦、カップルなど２人でいることのありがたさも湧きますね。 宮司より、由来などのお話しを聞き、御神木から力を頂きました。 まだまだ頑張るぞ!

(Translated by Google) This is Meotogi Shrine, located in Mitake-cho, Kofu City. The enshrined deities are Izanagi and Izanami, two married deities. The blessings they bring include matchmaking, marital harmony, marital harmony, fertility, safe childbirth, and child-rearing. This is the "Upper Shrine (Male Shrine)," and about 2km downhill from here is its counterpart, Meotogi Shrine Hime no Miya, which is the "Lower Shrine (Female Shrine)." (Original) 甲府市御岳町に鎮座する夫婦木神社です。御祭神は、伊邪那岐命、伊邪那美命と夫婦神の2柱。そのご利益は、縁結び、夫婦円満、夫婦和合、子授け、安産、子育てなどとなります。こちらは“上社(男宮)”となり、ここから2kmほど下った場所に対となる存在の「夫婦木神社姫の宮」があり、“下社(女宮)”となります。

(Translated by Google) The shrine is dedicated to marital happiness and fertility, and the chief priest carefully explained the history of the shrine and its sacred object. It even includes tourist spots (lol). The sacred object is magnificent. It's definitely worth a visit (lol). (Original) 夫婦円満、子宝との事で宮司さんが丁寧に神社の由緒、御神体の説明をしてくださいました。観光スポットまで(笑)御神体は立派です。一見の価値あり(笑)

A nice little park, we visited early February and the wintersweet was in bloom, with the plum blossoms just starting to open. There are a few shops for food and local souvenirs. It's 500 yen entrance fee, which is just about worth it.

What a beautiful garden to see the plum blossoms! There is a tea house to enjoy drinking matcha tea and you can buy local products like plum jam.

Nice view of ume in the spring. 500en for entrance but definitely worth it.

It seems to be very difficult. I can feel the kindness of everyone in Japan, thank you very much.

Closed temporarily with no explanation posted.

(Translated by Google) Various types of plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the sight and scent were very soothing. I also appreciated that the varieties were clearly displayed, and I was able to take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the differences in color, shape, and scent. Some people brought their dogs with them. You can feel the seasonal feeling that spring has come 🌸 (Original) 様々な種類の梅が咲き誇り、見た目にも香りにもとても癒されました。 品種がわかりやすく示されているのもありがたく、色や形、香りの違いを楽しみながらゆっくり散策することができました。わんちゃんを連れている方もいらっしゃいました。 春が来たなぁと季節感を味わえます🌸

(Translated by Google) I visited the park on February 1st. The main plum blossoms are still in bud, but the wintersweet is blooming beautifully and giving off a fresh fragrance. I really like the scent, and since there aren't many blooming spots, I'm glad I came. Many of the plum blossom buds are just starting to open, and they'll probably start blooming next week and peak in the second half of February. It seems the park is open for free until the 7th. (Original) 2月1日に来園しました メインの梅はまだつぼみですが、ロウバイは綺麗に咲いており瑞々しい香りが広がっていました とても良い好きな香りですが、咲いているところが少ないので来られて良かったです 梅のつぼみもほころびかけが多く、来週から咲き始めて2月の後半にピークと言った感じでしょうか 7日までは無料開園のようです

(Translated by Google) Located where the Takeda clan of Kai died, this temple is a must-see on any historical tour. Although it is old, the information boards are well-maintained and, at least when I visited, it was empty, so I was able to take my time looking around. There is a park parking lot opposite the temple, so you can park there and view the temple and the battlefield monument. (Original) 甲斐武田氏終焉の地にあって、歴史巡りに外せないお寺さんです。古いながらも案内板の類がしっかり整備されており、少なくとも私が訪問した折は空いていたことも相俟って、ゆっくりと見学できました。 寺の向かいに公園駐車場がありますので、ここに駐車してお寺さんや合戦場碑などを見学することになります。

(Translated by Google) August 2025 On March 11, 1582 (Tensho 10), a battle with the Oda-Tokugawa allied forces in the Tano area marked the end of the Takeda clan. This temple was built by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu to mourn the deaths of Katsuyori and others. Within the temple grounds are a graveyard and a memorial stone, said to be the spot where Takeda Katsuyori and his son committed suicide. The temple gate, which is said to have survived a fire, is impressive. [Denomination] Soto Zen [Principal Image] Shaka Nyorai [History] In 1582 (Tensho 10), some of the Takeda vassals submitted to Ieyasu and donated the entire Tano district as temple land to establish Keitoku-in Temple, in order to pray for the souls of Katsuyori and his vassals who had died with their swords. During the Edo period, the temple fell into decline due to the absence of a chief priest, but was revived during the Kan'ei era (1624-1644) when a chief priest was invited from Kogen-in. However, at the request of vassals of the shogunate who were former vassals of the Takeda clan, the temple was made a branch temple of Sonei-ji Temple in Shimousa Province. During the Tenpo era (1830-1844), a fire destroyed the main temple buildings, and fires also occurred during the Koka era (1844-1848) and the Meiji period. (Original) 2025.8 天正10（1582）年3月11日、田野地区において織田・徳川連合軍との戦いの結果、武田家終焉の地となる。 勝頼らの死を弔うため徳川家康の命により建立された寺で、境内には武田勝頼親子が自刃した場所と言われる生害石やお墓があります。 火災から免れたという山門が立派です。 【宗派】 曹洞宗 【御本尊】 釈迦如来 【由緒】 天正10年（1582年）武田遺臣の一部は家康に臣従し、勝頼と家臣ら殉死者の菩提を弔うため、田野郷一円を寺領として寄進し、景徳院を創建した。 江戸時代には住職不在状態となり衰退し、寛永年間（1624年 - 1644年）に広厳院から住職が招かれ再興されているが、旧武田氏家臣の幕臣の要求により、下総国總寧寺の末寺とされたという。 天保年間（1830年 - 1844年）には火災が生じて主要伽藍を焼失し、弘化年間（1844年 - 1848年）や明治時代にも火災が生じている。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from climbing Yogaiyama Castle and Kuma Castle. The detailed explanations from reviewers were very helpful. The area around Koshoden is said to be the place where Katsuyori and others committed suicide. The public display of the Life Stone will surely be a moving experience for all visitors to the area. There is a tourist parking lot directly in front, so you can park your car and explore the historic site. Tenmokuyama Onsen is popular, so this mountain path is busy even on weekdays, so please be careful when walking. (Original) 要害山城、熊城を登城した帰路に寄りました。 クチコミされる方の詳しい説明が非常にためになりました。 甲将殿周辺が勝頼公らが自刃した場所と伝わります。 生涯石の公開も、この地を訪れる方々の胸を締め付ける事でしょう。 目の前には観光駐車場があり、車を止めて史跡を巡るのも良しです。 天目山温泉が人気で平日でも交通量の多い山道なので気を付けて散策しましょう。

(Translated by Google) This ancient temple is home to the tomb of Takeda Katsuyori. After panting as I made my way up the steep slope, I was greeted by the magnificent mountain gate and main hall. The grounds are incredibly quiet, and my soul is cleansed. I was able to receive a pre-written goshuin (temple seal). (Original) 武田勝頼の墓所がある古刹です。 急な坂をヒーヒー言いながら登ると、 壮麗な山門と本堂が迎えてくれます。 境内はひたすら静かで心が洗われます。 書き置きですが、 御朱印をいただくことができました。

(Translated by Google) I visited this place because it is said to be the final resting place of Takeda Katsuyori, his wife Hojo, Takeda Nobukatsu, and his retainers. It was nice and quiet as there weren't many visitors. (Original) 武田勝頼公、北条夫人、武田信勝公、家臣の終焉の地との事で訪問しました。 あまり参拝される方はいないのか静かで良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I came here to see Mount Tenmoku, where Takeda Katsuyori met his end. I was surprised by its ruggedness and loneliness. It's called the Battle of Mount Tenmoku, but the military strength was different and it probably didn't turn into a battle. I can imagine Katsuyori's despair, with nowhere to go. And I think it must have been truly cruel for the Hojo lady, who committed suicide with him at a young age. (Original) 武田勝頼が最後を迎えた天目山を見たくてやって来た。その険しさと寂しさに驚いた。 天目山の戦い、なんて言われるけど兵力も違い戦いなんかにならなかっただろう。 どこにも行く宛がなく、おそらく絶望した勝頼の気持ちを感じる。そして、若くして一緒に自害した北条夫人には、本当にむごいことだったなと感じる。

(Translated by Google) This is the place where Takeda Katsuyori of Kai met his end. It's an indescribable feeling. Please check it out along with the surrounding historic battlefields. (Original) 甲斐の武田勝頼が最期を迎えた場所ですね。なんとも言えない気持ちになります。周辺の古戦場などと合わせてみてください。

Nice park. The prefecture art museum was fantastic, must see. They have a nice collection of modern and impressionist paintings.

But small but worth a short visit if you live in the region.

A very nice art museum. This is a picture done by my neighbor a local art teacher. He will have a showing in Paris in the fall of 2020.

reasonably spacious green space located around the two big museums in Kofu - be sure to check out the sculptures!

There is Fuji San view point here!

(Translated by Google) Art Forest Park is home to the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art, which is famous as Millet's art museum, and the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Literature, which mainly exhibits works by figures related to Yamanashi Prefecture, and is a park with sculptures placed throughout. There are also rose gardens, Japanese gardens, and a bridge over a pond, so you can enjoy a stroll. I am very jealous that there is a park in the center of Yamanashi Prefecture where you can admire such high-quality works of art. It's a place I would like to visit again. (Original) 芸術の森公園は、ミレーの美術館として有名な山梨県立美術館と、山梨県ゆかりの人物の作品を中心に展示を行っている山梨県立文学館があり、随所に彫刻配置してある公園です。 その他にもバラ園や日本庭園、池に架かる橋などもあり、散策を楽しむことができます。 山梨県の中心地にこの様な質の高い美術品を観賞できる公園があって、大変羨ましく思います。 また訪れてみたい場所です。

(Translated by Google) The garden is beautiful and perfect for a stroll. Seasonal flowers bloom and you can enjoy the cafe and library shop. (Original) 庭も綺麗で散歩に最適です♪季節の花が咲いてカフェや図書館ショップと楽しめます💚

I love this place, as I am very interested in Archeology since childhood.

The Jomon pieces are exquisite and gave me a closer appreciation of the 10,000 year Jomon esthetic. What a time and place to be alive on planet earth! The Kofu Bonchi area is a real gem of a place!

There are showing us very unique historical things.

Very interesting!!!

Nice places

(Translated by Google) I visited for the PAPUA x JOMON exhibition. The striking similarities between the Papuan and Jomon pottery with human-face decorations left me speechless. While I'm even considering fully embracing the Papuan-Jomon common ancestry theory, I'm left wondering why Jomon pottery is so intricate, precise, and refined, rich in design with margins and metaphors, and recognizable for its aesthetic pursuits. And so, I came across the museum's highlight: a deep bowl-shaped pottery vessel designated as an Important Cultural Property excavated from the Tonobayashi ruins. It clearly resembles the perfume tower at the former Asakanomiya residence in Meguro, Tokyo, and is breathtaking for its intricate work, exceptional elegance, dignity, and abstract beauty. However, I was astonished to learn that it was apparently used for cooking. It almost left me feeling defeated. As for Papua, I was astonished by the "Spirit House," along with statues and photographs of "snake spirits." It really felt like they were alive. However, even if it is not so frightening, for example, in the Hitachi Fudoki, "The elders said, 'The beginning of heaven and earth, the language of plants and trees was the time when...'" it is easy to understand intuitively, and it is also intuitively clear that the expression differs depending on the climate. But it certainly makes you want to go to Papua if you can, and it is no surprise that a pamphlet introducing travel to Papua is immediately prepared. (Original) PAPUA X JOMON展で訪問。そのパプアと縄文の人面装飾土器の酷似を見てはもう脱帽。ここはもうパプア＝縄文同祖説に全振りしたほうがいいとさえ思いながらも、それにしても縄文土器はなぜこんなにも巧緻で精密で、潔癖で、余白や隠喩を含むデザイン性に富み、美的追究心が認められるのか？という問いがかえって増すのであり、そして現れるのが当館の目玉である殿林遺跡出土の重文である深鉢型土器である。どうみても東京目黒の旧朝香宮邸にある香水塔であり、その巧緻と抜群の気品、風格、抽象美と息を呑む。しかしこれを煮炊きに使っていたらしく実に愕然。いわば、敗北感すら覚えよう。 パプア関係では、「蛇の精霊」像や写真だが「精霊の家」に驚愕。いや、まじで生きているがな、って感じである。しかしそこまでおどろおどろしくなくても、例えば常陸国風土記にある「古老の曰へらく天地（あめつち）の権輿（はじめ）、草木言語（ことと）ひし時」というのは感覚として分かるのであり、それが風土で表現が違うのだということも感覚として分かるのである。でも行けたらパプアに行きたいと思わせるのも確かであり、すかさずパプア旅行を紹介するパンフが用意されているのもさすがである。

(Translated by Google) The exhibits are amazing. This time, I decided to visit because for some reason I felt like taking a stroll around the kofun. And then, I saw... Huh?! Jomon and Papua New Guinea! What a fascinating theme!? I felt that way and went in. Admission was 650 yen for a set ticket. You're allowed to take photos of the exhibits, but flash and video are not allowed. There were replicas, but I was impressed by how many of them were genuine! I was so delighted and drawn in that I ended up looking too closely and stayed for over two hours. I was thrilled by how amazing and deep both ancient Papua New Guinea and ancient Japan were. However, there was almost no explanation, so I was left wondering how they were used or what their intentions were when they were made. I'd like to see it again. (Original) 素晴らしい展示内容です。 今回は、ふらりとなぜか古墳を散歩したくなり訪問。 すると、えっ！？縄文とパプアニューギニア！なんて惹かれるテーマなんでしょう！？と感じて入りました。 入館料はセット券で650円でした。 展示物の写真はOKですが、フラッシュと動画はNGです。 レプリカもありましたが、本物の多さに感動！ 嬉しくなり、引き込まれ過ぎてじっくり見過ぎてしまい、2時間以上滞在していました。 古代のパプアニューギニアも古代日本もすごくて奥が深過ぎてワクワクしました。 ただ、説明がほぼないので、これはどのように使われていたのかどのような意図で作られたのかなどは不思議なままでした。 もう一度見たいです。

(Translated by Google) 2024/9/2 After failing in the siege of Butsuzawa Castle, which was just up the road, I decided to visit a nearby temple to heal myself. This is said to be the temple where Takeda Shingen was born. I was surprised at the difference between Takeda Shrine, which is located just down the road, and is well-maintained and visited by many people, but this place had a run-down atmosphere. I don't dislike this kind of atmosphere either. (Original) 2024/9/2 この先にある仏沢城の攻城に失敗し、癒されるために近くのお寺に寄ってみたのがこの寺でした。 こちらは武田信玄公生誕のお寺だそうです。ここを下ったところにある武田神社には多くの人が訪れ綺麗に維持されてるのにこちらは荒廃した雰囲気が漂いその違いに驚きました。 こういう雰囲気も嫌いではないですが。

(Translated by Google) Sekisui-ji Temple is said to be the birthplace of Takeda Shingen (there is also the theory that it was Yogayama Castle, located very close to Sekisui-ji Temple). In 1521, Shingen's father, Takeda Shintora, was defeated by an invasion by the Imagawa clan. Shintora decided to retreat to Kofu, and his wife, Lady Oi, who was due for delivery, fled from Tsutsujigasaki Mansion in Kofu to Yogayama Castle, where she is said to have given birth to Shingen. After that, Shintora overcame the odds and won the decisive battle. Shingen, who was born shortly afterwards, was named "Katsuchiyo" in honor of the victory. There is a record that once safety was assured, Lady Oi took the newborn Shingen from Sekisui-ji Temple and returned to Tsutsujigasaki Mansion. Currently, there are only three buses a day from Kofu Station to Sekisui-ji Temple, and it is difficult for tourists to get there at certain times. In my case, I took a bus because it was all uphill on the way there, and walked down to Takeda Shrine on the way back. It took about 30 minutes. Apparently during Shingen's time, people were invited from the capital to hold poetry gatherings, but it must have been quite a struggle to get from Tsutsujigasaki Hall to Sekisui-ji Temple. There was no sign of people in the temple grounds, but they weren't deserted and the vegetation was well-maintained. However, the information board is quite old and rusty. Behind the main hall, there is a well that was used for Shingen's first bath, and water still gushes out of it. I was told there was an Imodo hall housing a statue of Shingen, but the hall had been demolished and was under construction. I think it may be in the process of being rebuilt. (Original) 積翠寺は武田信玄公誕生の地と言われています（その他に、積翠寺のすぐ近くの要害山城という説もあり）。 永正18年（1521年）、信玄公の父・武田信虎公は今川氏の侵攻を受け敗北します。 信虎公は甲府まで撤退することになり、臨月だった正室・大井夫人は甲府の躑躅ヶ崎館から要害山城に避難し、そこで信玄公を産んだと言われています。 その後、信虎公が劣勢を跳ね返し決戦に勝利。その直後に生まれた信玄公はその勝利にちなんで「勝千代」と名付けられます。安全が確保された大井夫人は、産まれたばかりの信玄公を連れて積翠寺から躑躅ヶ崎館に戻ったとの記録があります。 現在の積翠寺は甲府駅からバスが1日3便しか出ておらず、なおかつ観光客には利用しにくい時間です。 自分の場合は、行きはずっと登りになるためバスで向かい、帰りは武田神社まで歩いて降りました。30分程だったと思います。 信玄公の時代は都から人を呼んで歌会などが開かれたようですが、躑躅ヶ崎館から積翠寺まで上がるのは相当大変だったろうなと思いました。 境内は人の気配はありませんが荒れているという程ではなく、草木も綺麗に整備されていました。 ただし説明板はかなり年季が入って錆びついています。 本堂裏手には信玄公の産湯に使われた井戸が遺されており、今でも水が湧き出ていました。 信玄公の像を納めた不動堂があるとのことでしたが、堂は取り壊されて工事中でした。建て替えの途中ではないかと思われます。

(Translated by Google) I stopped here after climbing Mt. Yogai. If you go up the stone steps in front, you will reach the main hall. It has a nice atmosphere surrounded by mountains. In the back left, there is a small storehouse-like building called Takeda Fudoson Shingen-kozo Bishamonten-do, where Shingen is enshrined. (Original) 要害山に登ったあとで立ち寄りました。正面の石段を進むと本堂になります。山に囲まれていていい雰囲気です。左奥には武田不動尊信玄公像毘沙門天堂という小型の蔵のような建物があり、中には信玄さんが鎮座していました。

(Translated by Google) Behind the temple, there is a well that was used as the birth bath for Takeda Shingen. (Original) お寺の裏に武田信玄が生まれた時の産湯に使われた井戸があります。

(Translated by Google) This is the temple where Takeda Shingen is said to have been born. There is also an atmosphere that is a bit run down. I thought the parking lot was on the gravel next to the main hall, so I parked it.🚗The pine trees on the approach were magnificent! (Original) 武田信玄が生まれたとされるお寺です。 少し荒廃してしまっている雰囲気もあります。 駐車場は本堂横の砂利のところと思って、駐車しました🚗参道松の木が立派でした！

(Translated by Google) This is the temple where Takeda Harunobu (Shingen) is said to have been born, and the highlights, the well where Shingen was bathed at birth, and the garden, are located behind the main hall. At the time, it was a large temple where renga poetry gatherings were held, but it is a shame that it has become quite deserted now. You can receive a goshuin (stamp) at the kuri (temple parlor) next to the main hall. (Original) 武田晴信(信玄)が誕生したと伝わる寺院で、見所の「信玄公産湯の井戸」と庭園が本堂の裏にあります。当時、連歌の会が開かれるなど、大規模な寺院だった様ですが、今ではかなり寂れたお寺さんになってしまったのは残念です？ 本堂隣りの庫裏で御朱印を授与して頂けます。

(Translated by Google) The garden with Shingen's birth bath well is located behind the main hall, but the sign is small and hard to see, so many people probably don't notice it. I think they don't want to turn it into a tourist spot. (Original) 信玄の産湯井戸のある庭園は本殿裏にありますが、看板も小さくて見えづらいので、気づかない人は多そうです。あまり観光地化させるいはないんだようなと思いました。

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy the changing leaves in autumn and the plum blossoms during the plum season. I also like the tea shop because it's so relaxing. (Original) 秋は紅葉、梅の時期は梅が楽しめます。 お茶屋さんもゆっくり出来て好きです。

(Translated by Google) This is a walking course with beautiful scenery and easy mountain climbing. (Original) 景色が良くて、気軽な山登りが出来る散歩コースです

(Translated by Google) I learned a lot. (Original) 勉強になります。

(Translated by Google) Parents and children can enjoy it together. (Original) 親子で楽しめます。
