[2025 Minamitsuru District Attraction] Travel Guide for Tenku no torii (Updated May)

#Mishima #Kawaguchiko #DayTour #MountFuji Key points, key points, key points: If you have a limited budget, you can live in Mishima! I stayed in a hotel near Mishima JR for 2 days and 2 nights. On the first day, we went from Betsufuji City to Mishima. We dropped off our luggage and took the bus to Gotemba outlet at JR Station No. 2 bus stop - a day of shopping Day 2: Kawaguchiko Day Trip Attention! The best official website to book direct bus tickets in advance during peak season (SEKITORI) Depart from Mishima Bus Stop No. 2 at 8:20 in the morning and arrive at Kawaguchiko Station in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. First, go to Zhongling Pagoda and climb the stairs to the top of the mountain to take photos and check in. Along the way, there are flowers and red leaves of Mount Fuji (as shown in the picture, the season is just right and you can take pictures of both plants). After queuing, go directly to Kawaguchiko JR Station and get off at Yoshida Station - then click on the map to see the Hikawa Watch Shop / just follow the map, the passenger line will remind you that you have arrived at the destination (a popular check-in hotspot). It is recommended to go there at dusk because the sun is too strong at noon and the street photos will be dimmed. There are check-in spots along the way back, you can choose at your own discretion (time is limited) After returning to Lake Kawaguchi, the next attraction is Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine - Haruhakuta Sky Torii. Let's continue queuing - take the Kawaguchiko Tour Bus at the bus stop in front of the station (Red), get off at the Kawaguchiko Music Box Forest Art Museum stop (30-35 minutes), and then leave it to the map navigation. Note: Be careful when checking in. It is not recommended for people with poor physical strength or with children because the journey takes 35-45 minutes and includes a little hiking. Arriving at the Sky Torii Gate, someone collected 200 yen for admission, but there was no time limit for clocking in. But please take care of the passengers queuing behind you. After checking in, wait for the return bus opposite the Downhill Museum. After returning to Kawaguchiko Station, see if there is time to visit the gift shop and then wait for the bus back to Mishima Station. I boarded the bus at 8:20 that day and returned at 17:00. If you are not afraid of being too late on the return trip, you can wait for the next bus. Warm reminder~ You can take great photos here. Thank you for the weather and the visibility of Mount Fuji that day. I hope everyone can take beautiful photos of Mount Fuji~

#Kawaguchiko Asama Shrine and #Tenku-no-Torii of the Sky #Asama Shrine is a registered World Cultural Heritage Site. It has been around for over 1,000 years. It is a sacred place, and in 2019, a new torii gate was installed on the land between Asama Shrine and the auxiliary shrine in Hanano-shirataki. Torii gate (tenku no torii) Tenku-no-Torii of the Sky This Tenku-no-Torii of the Sky is located on the edge of the mountain, offering a clear view of Kawaguchiko, Kawaguchiko-machi, and Mt. Fuji. It has become a beautiful Tenku no torii viewpoint that you should see with your own eyes at least once. 🕰️Opening hours:Open-Close: Open daily from 9:00 to 16:00 Admission fee: Free However, the Tenku no torii viewpoint has been getting a lot of tourists visiting and taking pictures recently. Since it is a sacred place and a private area, there are regulations for taking pictures according to the designated areas. The entrance fee is 100 yen per person, and each person has only 3 minutes to take pictures. #How to get there You can take the No. 5 bus from Kawaguchiko Station to Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, then walk up the hill to the torii, which takes about 30 minutes. However, we drove up for no more than 10 minutes (the road up there is quite narrow and there is limited parking). For those who want to travel, you can walk or drive up, and please be respectful of the place. #Traveling in Japan by yourself #Japan

There isn't much you can do at Fuji Remote Worship, but because you can see the Torii and Mount Fuji in the same place, it still attracts many people. When there are a lot of people, you have to queue for about an hour before you can take photos, and the time limit is 3 minutes. To avoid the crowds, we left La Vista at around 7:00 in the morning. I did some research before setting off and knew that the road up the mountain was very narrow. If you encounter an oncoming car, move backward to let the other car pass. In addition, there are only a few parking spaces on the mountain, and there may be no parking space. Since I don’t have good driving skills, I parked the car in the parking lot of Zuohekou Sengen Shrine⛩️ and walked up the mountain for about 25 minutes. The early bird catches the worm. There were no tourists in front of the Torii when we arrived. So after paying 200 yen in cooperation fee, you can spend a lot of time taking photos until you are satisfied! After taking the photos, I bought beautiful goshuin and Mount Fuji stamps at a small shop as souvenirs. ——— Mount Fuji Distant Worship Site (Tenku no Torii) 📬 〒401-0304 Yamanashi Prefecture Minamitsuru County Fujikawaguchiko Town Kawaguchi 1119-2 #Fujisanyaobaisuo#Kawaguchiko#Kawaguchikofreetravel#Fujisan#Fujisanfreetravel#Kawaguchikotravel#Fujisantravel#Tokyotravel#Tokyofreetravel#Tokyo#Japantravel#Japanfreetravel#Japan#Japanself-driving#Japanself-drivingtour#Japan car rental#tokyo self-driving#tokyo self-driving tour#tokyo car rental#kawaguchiko self-driving#kawaguchiko self-driving tour#kawaguchiko car rental#mt. fuji self-driving#mt. fuji self-driving tour#mt. fuji car rental #Register for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025

Stumbled into this cute little cafe at roadside around area of Tenku no Torii, in the direction towards the waterfall. Ordered a cup of coffee, sat down for 20 minutes to enjoy the great view and breeze.

I recently visited **Tenku No Torii**, located mid-hill, and it proved to be a fantastic spot for capturing stunning views of Mount Fuji. The addition of the no torii adds a delightful Japanese flair, enhancing the vibrancy of the entire scene. Upon arrival, I noted that there is a small entrance fee of 200 yen per visitor, which is well worth it for the experience. While tripods are not allowed, I found that it was easy to ask someone in the queue to take photos of me and my travel companion, ensuring we could capture the moment without any hassle. One of the highlights was the presence of three no torii gates, which helped cut down on the queuing time, allowing more visitors to enjoy the view without long waits. If you're planning to drive, do keep in mind that parking can be a bit tricky in the area. I arrived at 9:00 AM, and the soft morning sunlight made for beautiful photos. With only two other groups of visitors around, I had plenty of time to find the perfect angles to capture Mount Fuji in all its glory. Overall, Tenku No Torii is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy breathtaking views and get some memorable photos. It's a wonderful spot that beautifully combines nature and culture.

Mount Fuji's famous sky torii check-in point We arrived at about 9am, so we only had to wait in line for a while. It is said that if you arrive later, you will have to queue up in a long line. There are two torii gates, both facing Mount Fuji. It seems that the only difference is the color of the floor. The location is on a mountain, and driving up the mountain is rugged and dangerous, with many narrow turns. It takes a little distance to reach the mountain by foot, about 30 minutes. You will need to pay to enter upon arrival Adults JPY200 Children under 18 JPY100 There are many Mount Fuji souvenirs and amulets available for purchase. If you want to check in, it is recommended to shoot at 2-3 times the magnification, Mount Fuji will be larger! #GlobalTravel #MountFuji #MountFujiCheck-in Spots #Japan #TokyoAttractions
