- [Hozan-ji](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hozan-ji): Nara, Temple. A working temple of prayer halfway up Mount Ikoma, where people come to ask Kangiten, known locally as Shoten-san, for luck in business. Its halls sit right under the Hannya-kutsu, a sheer rock face where En no Gyoja is said to have trained. Ride the Ikoma Cable Car, opened in 1918, to Hozanji Station, then walk about 10 minutes up the stepped approach. Entry is free.

A narrow headland at the north-west tip of the Shakotan Peninsula where the 770 m Charenka path runs along a ridge to a lighthouse, with the 41 m Kamui Rock offshore and water the local name calls Shakotan blue.

Free, flat and shadeless, and about 30 minutes on foot from the nearest stations.

Sapporo's main shrine, in the forest of Maruyama Park, founded in 1869 as the guardian of Hokkaido's settlement.
