About this spot

Sashide-no-Iso, in Utada, Yamanashi City, is a rocky outcrop jutting into the Fuefukigawa River (笛吹川), a scenic place long celebrated in poetry. It is said to appear in the Manyoshu (万葉集) and the Kokin Wakashu (古今和歌集), and it is designated a Place of Scenic Beauty by Yamanashi Prefecture. Standing on the rocks, you see the river flowing close beneath your feet, and the sound of the water and the breeze feel cool. It is also known as a cherry blossom spot in spring, showing a different face in each season. Seeing the river first thing in the morning makes it feel connected to the stream you will play in at Manriki Park (万力公園) in the afternoon.

Tips

Visiting is free. Parts of the rocky area have unsteady footing, so keep your eyes on the children. When the water is high or after rain, decide not to approach. Parking space is limited, so if you come by car, take care where you park.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. The cool morning hours are recommended, when the river breeze feels pleasant.
