A hidden scenic forest road in Minobu's mountains. From its high altitude, you can see Mt. Fuji soaring over the layers of mountain ridges. Especially in autumn, the vibrant red and yellow foliage creates a breathtaking contrast with the white peak of Fuji. Since tour buses don't pass here, it’s a secret panoramic route for active travelers with rental cars or bicycles.
