Yamadera is a holy temple complex on the mountain known for its beautiful mountain view. But there are more places to see if you like hiking and hidden places. I can take you to a special shrine in the mountain that many tourists don't know and a hiking course with beautiful views just for you! and if you love hiking and nature, there is a more longer course starts from next station from Yamadera. If you want to do it, Please message me. I can arrange it for you.
