The Risshakuji Temple was founded in 860 and is commonly referred to as
"Yamadera (the meaning of mountain temple)." The temple is well
known by impressive Sutra Repository and Founder's Hall built on a steep
cliff. Blessed with abundant nature, you can enjoy the changing atmosphere
of each season. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to go round trip from
the Risshakuji trailhead to the summit. From JR Yamadera Train Station,
it takes about 2 hours. As the path is steep, it is the best to consider
clothing, footwear, and belongings depending on the season. This temple
has long been worshipped as a temple for cutting off bad relationships
and creating good ones. It not only has the benefit of cutting off bad
relationships with people, but also ties with illness and disaster.

white water mixed with fine hot spring deposits. The water is a sodium
chloride sulfate hot spring, colorless and transparent, with a faint scent
of hydrogen sulfide. The spring quality is said to be effective for cuts,

| Mt. GASSAN Ski Resort |
Mecca of summer skiing |

However, there is a lot of snowfall throughout the year, and the snow remains firmly from spring to summer, so in summer, many people from all over Japan gather here as a ski resort where can enjoy "summer skiing". At the end of the season, people enjoy skiing and snowboarding with short sleeves in the warm weather.
