Conquer Yama-dera
When the big mouse visited small mouse in Japan at the first time, we visited Yama-dera together. Yama-dera is a popular destination in Yamagata, Japan. It literally means 'mountain temple'. A inner sanctuary is located on the top of cliff. There are over a thousand stone steps to the summit.
I've been there several times, it's so nice place. After we climbed a lot, I lied to the big mouse, 'it's still in the middle'. 'Really??' He looked so tired. Actually the goal was there. I was sorry for the big mouse, the stone stairs were narrow and steep for him who has a big feet and hard to step
There is a shop on the mountain, so you can buy drinks, but it cost almost double than usual price.
Yama-dera is also well-known as a famouse Matsuo Basho's haiku poet (1689).
