They say it’s always worth taking the scenic route – remind yourself of this as you’re scaling the 1,000 stone steps to Risshakuji (Yamadera), the mountaintop temple on Mt Hoshu in Yamagata Prefecture. You’ll be enchanted as you ascend the cedar forest path by a number of temple buildings, shrines and stone lanterns along the way, made even more impressive by the vivid colours of autumn. 😍🍂
