Discover an old Fuji pilgrimage road and waterside scenery below Mitsutoge. Plan village walks separately from mountain hikes.

This guide covers places within Nishikatsura, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Before you set off

  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
