Promise hill
Today’s photo comes from near the top of the Shosenkyo Ropeway (昇仙峡ロープウェイ) in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
I believe the bell is meant for lovers. I think they are supposed to strike the bell together, write themselves a note, stick the note in the nearby mailbox, and then a year later the note arrives in their home mailbox.
I had no lover with me on this day so I walked across the way for some shaved ice instead.
