Wakutama Pond, located within Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine
Looking at the crystal-clear pond, I lose track of time. The ducks swimming around are so cute and relaxing.

Nihondaira Ropeway
The scenery from the Nihondaira Ropeway is powerful! These steep cliffs were made over 100,000 years ago by wind and waves. Nature is amazing!

I love coming here to refresh! The power of these two waterfalls make me feel the majesty of nature.
