Finally reached the ropeway station!
Next to it was the entrance to Onsen-ji.
Don't be fooled though, the actual temple was half way up the mountain
I certainly do not recommend hiking, especially in this weather.
Now it's the time to mention I have acrophobia....
So I was not exactly thrilled to ride the ropeway!
For some reason the way going up I was the only guest (coming down it was so full) ! Luckily there's also a staff member riding it, so I chatted to him to distract myself
He recommended the cafe on top, saying that there's an outdoor terrace with great views...
7 minutes later....
Right it's all worth it.
Sea of Japan in the distance
Then I went to the cafe.
Yeah okay coffee was terrible as expected
But you paid for the view!
PS people keep saying coffee here is expensive. But hey at least it's good coffee! In Japan you pay 700 Yen for dirty water
