Okuniwa

Located a one-minute walk from the Oniwa bus stop or a 50-minute drive from the Kawaguchiko Interchange. A picturesque location at the head of the mountain trail close to the bus stop at the 5th Station on the Fuji Subaru Line. Heading up the mountain is Oniwa, while heading down the mountain is Okuniwa. It's also known as the Tengu Playground and you can still see the Torii gate and Tengu boulder. On either side of the pathway you can see Japanese larch and northern Japanese hemlock which have survived the wind and snow. From mid to late July is the best time to visit to see the Hakusan rhododendron. From the observation platform you can see Shichitaro Ridge as well as the Komitake volcano.
