One takes you to the top of Mt. Otsuka. The book we were following didn&#8217;t say anything about what you&#8217;d see there so we didn&#8217;t go to the top of Mt. Otsuka (which turned out to be a really good thing as it would have put us back another hour and likely left us stranded in the dark later in the day). Another route looked shorter and said (in Japanese) that it took you to the picnic area from which you can see <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/tag\/mt-fuji\/>Mt. Fuji<\/a>. However, we could pretty much see the top, and it was surrounded in tall trees. So I don&#8217;t think you could really see Mt. Fuji from there unless you climbed a tree. Instead, we followed the above sign towards Mitake Jinja (\u5fa1\u5dbd\u795e\u793e), which is the Shinto shrine on top of the mountain. For some unknown reason the kanji is different (\u5fa1<B>\u5cb3<\/b>\u5c71 for Mt. Mitake vs. \u5fa1<B>\u5dbd<\/b\/>\u795e\u793e). Anyone know why? <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/21133540.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/21133540-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"thatch roof moss multiple kind of style mitake jinja japan\" title=\"thatch roof moss multiple kind of style mitake jinja japan\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/21133540-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/21133540-250x187.jpg 250w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/21133540.JPG 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we neared the shrine area the number of people increased dramatically.
