The view of Mt.Momokura’s view of Mt.Fuji is wonderful, and it was selected as “Beautiful Mt.Fuji 12 scenery” in 1992 from Otsuki city.
You can enjoy an excellent view from the summit if the weather is nice.

The view from the top of the mountain is wonderful, and if the weather is good it will be a wonderful lunch time while watching Mt. Fuji.

Down hill you descend a steep slope at a stretch, so hiking shoes are essential.
If you are a traveler and you do not have hiking shoes, I recommend you rent outdoor goods rental agency.

The summit of Mt. Momokura is a wide open space and you can spread a seat and take a lunch break for a while.

After the hiking is over, I will show you to “Saruhashi bridge”.
Saruhashi called the 3 most strange bridge in the Edo Period.
The scenery of the mysterious bridge over the beautiful valley is known for being famous for its famous Ukiyo-e artists.

At Saruhashi bridge you can see several beautiful bridges built for each era.

Also, if you want to relax in the hot springs, we recommend “Yutando Hot Spa”.
It is a mysterious hot spring located in the valley downstream of the Kazuno River, but it will only be open for weekend but you can spend a pleasant time with the owner’s grandmother in an old Japanese private house.

Yutando Kosen 湯立人鉱泉 | The kanji “湯立人Yutando” means a person standing in hot water. There is a legend that someone who did not stand by himself because of sickness came to stand themselves, thanks to this hot spring.
