Oyama Afuri Shrine

#thingstodo One of the best places to visit in autumn. The vibrant colors of the leaves would really take your breath away. Going up, there are two options, hiking or riding the cable car(¥450 one way). Hiking has two options as well, Onna-zaka (easier way) or otoko-zaka (steeper way), both ways would entail walking lots of stairs! The steeper way is less crowded, hence more chances of seeing wild deers! Hiking takes about more or less than an hour depending on pace, it’s most important to take your time and enjoy! There are food stalls selling mochis, coffee, sandwiches, soft cream, noodles and even beer near the shrine. After the shrine, you can go all the way up to the summit of Mt. Oyama which takes about two hours or just get down by walking or by taking cable car.
