Visited spots:

1. Kunozan Toshogu Shrine (Click for details)
   The beautiful shrine was built over 400 years ago, and it is registered as a National Treasure of Japan. 
   It is connected with Nihondaira Plateau by cable car. Please enjoy spectacular views from the cable cars, too.

   NOTE: There are stone steps leading to this shrine and there is no slope for wheelchair users.
   If you or one of your member is not at ease with walking, it is difficult to visit this shrine.
   In this case, we recommend you to stay at Nihondaira.
