Shosenkyo valley in Yamanashi
Trip to Shosenkyo valley in Yamanashi prefecture. It has nice hiking trail, which is asphalted all the way up, so some part of it need to share with cars. This is good place for day trip and no need for any hiking skills, equipment or supplies.
In video, steep cliff named Kakuenpo can be seen. As it was written in tour map, top of cliff is flat and some monk meditated there for some days. Ishimon means stone gate in Japanese. It also looks like a stone gate. Notice there is small open space between upper and lower stones. At the end - Sengataki big waterfall.
