In this row you see 3 shots from the window of the gondola car as we descended to the lower ropeway station. Note the waterfall and the nice colors.

The first thing we did when we got down to the base via the bus was go to a German type beer restaurant for lunch. This scenic shot was taken from the balcony where we had lunch - up there on that mountain is where we were!!
The 2nd shot shows the entrance of the hot spring where we spent a few hours in the afternoon getting thawed out and warmed up thoroughly. The 3rd shot shows a pond and a rainbow which was in the park near the bus stop.

This is the final shot of October 8th - from near the Youth Hostel where we stayed we could look up to the mountain. The kind of plateau up there is where the upper ropeway station is.

This is now October 9th. The first shot shows the entrance area of the Youth Hostel where we stayed. The 2nd and 3rd shots were taken from the shore of a pond which was just out the front door and across the road from the Youth Hostel. Yes, that's the mountain where we were yesterday!

Here is another shot of the pagoda inside the temple grounds. The 2nd shot is from the shore of the pond where we were yesterday (there were 2 different ponds or small lakes - one near the bus area and another near the Youth Hostel). The 3rd shot is Mt. Fuji, taken from the rest area where the bus stopped
on the way back to Tokyo.

Here is the final shot - a nice map. I believe you can easily find the top of the ropeway. From there we hiked up to the 2,956 meter mountain. You can see the switchback area quite clearly on this map. You can also see the small lake (to the right of the ropeway station).
