This historical tour takes you to the burial place of Takeda Shingen,
a great warrior and daimyo who passed away on his journey to
Kyoto in 1572, where he was destined to be a Shogun. This
temple is also noted for the exquisite garden created by Muso
Kokushi, the high priest of the Samurai Age.
Proceeding on to the Chichibu National Park, you will ride the
cable car up Mt. Kimpu, the highest peak in the park. The car
will then carry you to the Shosenkyo Gorge, formed along the
Arakawa River. Bring your camera so you can take pictures of
the rock cliffs and their fantastic shapes.
