- [Michi-no-Eki Hakushu](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-hakushu): Yamanashi, Michi no eki. On Route 20 at the foot of Mt. Kai-Komagatake, where locals queue with plastic jugs for free spring water around the clock. Have hoto at the Kamoshika canteen and a Shingen-mochi soft serve before heading on.
- [Fugaku Wind Cave](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/fugaku-wind-cave): Yamanashi, Attraction. A horizontal lava tube 201 m long in the Aokigahara forest, about 3°C inside, with ice that lasts through summer. Easier than the Narusawa Ice Cave next door: the walk is mostly level and takes about 15 minutes. Entry is 350 yen.
- [Kitadake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kitadake): Yamanashi, Mountain. At 3,193 meters, Kitadake in the Southern Alps is second only to Fuji, and the only place on earth where the Kitadake buttercup grows. The Hirogawara trailhead can be reached only by bus or taxi, and only from late June to early November; most climbers spend a night at a hut on the way.
- [Minobusan Kuon-ji](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/minobusan-kuon-ji): Yamanashi, Temple. Head temple of the Nichiren Shu school, where Nichiren lived from 1274 and where his ashes rest. Most visitors climb the 287 steep stone steps of the Bodaitei to the main hall. The weeping cherry, about 400 years old, draws big crowds when it flowers around the end of March. The grounds are free.
- [Saruhashi Bridge](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/saruhashi-bridge): Yamanashi, Landmark. A wooden-clad footbridge 30.9 meters long that crosses the Katsura River gorge about 31 meters above the water with no piers at all, held up by four layers of beams pushed out from each cliff. It is counted among Japan's three strange bridges and is a 15-minute walk from JR Saruhashi Station.
