The Most Breathtaking View of Mount Fuji? The Legendary Torii Gate in the Sky (Tenku-No Torii)
Built in 2019, Tenku-No Torii (which literally translates to “Gate in the Sky”) offers a unique platform to worship and connect with Mount Fuji and belongs to Kawaguchi Asama Jinja Shinto Shrine. The 30 minute hike up to Tenku-No Torii will reward you with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. It is also accessible by car which takes only 10 mins (do take note that parking lots are limited. So be sure to go there early!). The entry fee has risen to 200 yen (from 100 yen) but it was totally worth it.
We spent at least 40 minutes admiring the view and chatting with tourists which makes the experience even more enriching.
Be sure to check out Tsunagaru Cafe, which is just 5 minutes walk from Tenku-No Torii.
Enjoy!
