Minobu

Minobu lies along the Fuji River in southern Yamanashi Prefecture, where steep, forested mountains close around the river valley. The town is closely associated with Mount Minobu and Kuon-ji, the head temple of Nichiren Buddhism, founded by the priest Nichiren in 1281. Its temple precinct is approached through towering cedar trees and a long stone stairway, while the surrounding slopes give the settlement a distinctly secluded character. Minobu also sits on the Minobu Line, linking the inland valley with the wider transport network of central Japan.
