Many steps but trekking with all beautiful cedar trees and peaceful environment around is a real blessing. Love

One of the most magical places I have ever been to in Japan and it’s already my fifth time to this beautiful country. We were very lucky to visit pagoda shortly after the scaffolding was removed. As the news wasn’t announced - or so it seemed - and it was a week day, there were almost no people around.

What a hidden gem. First time in Yamagata and visited here. My favorite hike in Japan. Very spiritual and is a must see destination for anyone that lives in Tokyo. Easy access with the train station and buses running every hour. Plenty of parking for those who drive too.

I visited here on July 14th to hike Mt. Hagora. It was beautiful and calm. There are free parking lots around. After you enter the temple you will see lots of small shrines on the way. Soon a river with a red bridge welcomes you to deep into the nature. Pagoda is very close here. It is mainly before starting the steps up to the mountain. There are many gorgeous Japanese trees on both sides while you are walking. This makes you feel calm and stress out. Seasonal flowers add colors to your hike. It was tiring but worth to go.
