If you'd like some outdoor excitement, make a day trip to Mt. Kushigata. No walk around the block, this hike is perfect for a mid-vacation work out.
You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Minami-Alps. Mt. Kushigata is a great place to begin here, but there are plenty of other worthwhile spots to discover. Shunsen Art Museum, Myoryoji Temple, and Oboshi Park are close to the steep landmass and will top off your day nicely.
