Sengen-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu and Ropeway Pilgrimage Walk
A pilgrimage course where you experience the Mt. Minobu Kuonji Temple, the head temple of the Nichiren sect, from base to summit over the course of a day. Walk through the approach lined with cedar trees to worship at the Main Hall and five-story pagoda, then take the ropeway to quickly reach the summit. Pay respects at Shishin-kaku Hall (奥之院思親閣), which has deep connections to Saint Nichiren, and gaze upon the grand panorama spanning Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay from the observation deck. Conclude your day with a leisurely stroll through the paper-cut art and expansive gardens of Fujikawa Craft Park—a sophisticated day in the countryside.
