Kuzuryu Shrine offers beautiful scenery and can be visited together with the Kuzuryu Waterfall above the shrine. Although the shrine is small, it exudes a sense of divinity. At the top of the entrance stairs, next to the torii gate, stands a magnificent cedar tree. About a six-minute walk from the shrine, there is an inn where you can purchase goshuin (shrine stamps) and amulets. You can buy goshuin at the shrine office, but it is a bit far from the shrine, so it's best to check in advance. If you look out from the bus, you might see the sign for the shrine office. If you start from the bus stop, you need to climb a slope to reach the shrine, but if you walk down the slope for a few minutes, you will find the shrine office.

A beautiful place, you can continue along the therapeutic path paved with wood chips after coming out of the visitor center. The slope is very gentle and easy to walk until you reach Takimi Bridge, where the view of Mitou Great Falls is right in front of you. Crossing Takimi Bridge, you can admire the 30-meter-high Mitou Great Falls. The waterfall was bigger than I imagined. I felt it was about the same size as Hosawa Falls. I was already very tired just getting there. The path was covered with wood chips, which is good for safety, but I didn't find it an easy place to walk.

Mitsutoge Bridge is a great place for fitness. The route is generally easy to walk, but some parts are too narrow to pass each other. Be careful as the foundation in some areas may be slippery. The temperature was too high to see the distant scenery, but there are several viewpoints besides the summit of Mizuyama, and if the air is clear, you can even see Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay. Mitsutoge Otaki Waterfall is notable for its water volume and height difference. Transfer to a bus at Musashi-Itsukaichi Station. The first bus in the morning does not connect well, and you have to wait about forty minutes after the train arrives at the station. Therefore, on good hiking days, there may be a queue.

This November, we ventured from the vibrant streets of Tokyo to the serene Mount Odake region, perfectly timed to witness the breathtaking transformation of autumn. The landscape was ablaze with fiery reds and golden hues, making it an ideal season for exploration and photography. Our journey began with a scenic drive of just 2-3 hours from Tokyo, allowing us to escape the city’s hustle and immerse ourselves in nature’s splendor. Upon arrival, we headed straight to the picturesque Mitake Valley, renowned for its fragrant Yuzu orchards. Yuzu, a versatile citrus fruit, is celebrated locally for its use in a variety of products—from savory soy sauce and sweet jams to an array of delicious culinary creations. We took the opportunity to enjoy a delightful lunch featuring fried river fish, a local specialty that perfectly complemented the fresh, seasonal flavors of the region. After lunch, we indulged in a memorable photo session amidst the vibrant foliage of Mitake Valley. The vivid colors provided a stunning backdrop, capturing the essence of autumn’s peak beauty. Every corner of the valley seemed to tell a story, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. As evening approached, we made our way to Mu Forest Uenohara, where we would spend the night in one of their charming tents. The experience was nothing short of unforgettable. Nestled under the vast expanse of the open sky, we enjoyed a hearty BBQ dinner right beside our tent. The crackling fire, the aroma of grilled delicacies, and the serene sounds of the forest created a magical ambiance that felt both adventurous and comforting. Staying at Mieux Forest allowed us to fully embrace the tranquility of the Mount Odake region. The crisp autumn air and the canopy of colorful leaves provided a perfect setting for relaxation and reflection after a day of exploration. Sleeping under the stars, we felt a profound connection to nature, making the night truly special. Our trip to the Mount Odake area was a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and outdoor adventure. From the vibrant autumn leaves and the unique flavors of Mitake Valley to the cozy tent stay and outdoor BBQ at Mieux Forest, every moment was crafted to create lasting memories. For those seeking a serene yet enriching getaway just a short drive from Tokyo, the Mount Odake region in November is an exceptional choice. We highly recommend this autumn escape to anyone looking to experience the enchanting colors of Japan’s countryside, indulge in local delicacies, and enjoy an unforgettable night under the stars. #Mitake #japantrip #japan #mountains Mu Forest Uenohara Address - 13880 Yuzurihara, Uenohara, Yamanashi 409-0111, Japan Ambiance/Facilities - Forest, romantic Avg.
