Shirataki Waterfalls! There are actually several waterfalls in Japan with the name "Shirataki", which translates to "white waterfall" because of the way the water flows in thin white streams, kind of like threads of silk. That’s a beautiful and poetic spot near Lake Kawaguchi, right by Mt. Fuji. The name literally means "Mother’s White Waterfall", which already sounds kind of spiritual or nurturing. It's a small but sacred waterfall located in the forested hills near Kawaguchiko, and it’s part of a pilgrimage route. There's even a small shrine near it—Haha-no-Shirataki Shrine and traditionally, women would go there to pray for safe childbirth and maternal health. The whole area has a peaceful, mystical vibe, especially with the sound of the water flowing in that quiet forest setting.

The “Torii in the Sky” (Tenku no Torii) It has this name because it sits atop a hill with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji. It was created in 2019 as a place to pray to Mount Fuji from a distance while being able to look directly at the mountain itself. When visiting Japan, many travelers dream of capturing Mt. Fuji framed by a traditional red torii gate. While Chureito Pagoda has become world-famous for this view, there is another magical place not yet crowded with tourists. Perched on a hillside overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, this sacred spot offers a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji perfectly aligned with the torii. It’s a spiritual, photogenic, and memorable destination for those seeking something beyond the ordinary. The shrine is open all year and is free to visit. But it costs ¥100 or ¥500 to take a picture at tenku no torii with any camera other than the one on your smartphone.

(Optional) The village was reconstructed after a natural disaster and the timber buildings are quite unique. The village also enjoys views of Mount Fuji and is resplendent in cherry blossoms in season (still flowering 2nd half of April). There are a variety of arts and craft shops, a cafe, museum and toilets etc. If you like to visit historical place, Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba is a must visit if you come to Japan. All I can think of during the whole visit here is Naruto's and Miyazaki Hayao's villages a village of traditional thatched-roof houses situated on the shore of Lake Saiko, beneath the gaze of World Heritage-listed Mt. Fuji. In spring, the cherry blossoms all come into bloom at once, dyeing the village cherry blossom pink. Admission FEES PER PERSON ¥500

Kawaguchi Asama Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine located near Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Established in 865 CE by order of Emperor Seiwa, it was built specifically to appease the volcanic wrath of Mount Fuji following the destructive Jogan Eruption of 864 CE. Designated as part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site for Mount Fuji in 2013, the shrine is dedicated to Asama no Okami (Konohanasakuya-hime), the goddess of volcanoes and Mount Fuji. Kawaguchi Asama Shrine is particularly loved for its striking cedar avenue along the main approach, as well as the seven sacred cedars on the shrine precincts. These are deified––note the shimenawa ropes around them––and are old-growth trees thought to be at least 1,200 years old. Two festivals taking place on April 25 and July 28 respectively see performances of a ritual dance, the Chigo no Mai, meant to appease the volcano goddess’s spirit and prevent further eruptions and earthquakes.
