After climbing the 120 steps from the entrance, the rest of the way is a gentle ascent. The path up is not steep and shouldn’t be an issue for young children. Another great feature of the path is the view it provides throughout the season: cherry blossoms during spring, vibrant greens during the summer, and colored leaves in autumn. Enjoy the refreshing air on your way up.
