Access overview

Use a Shosenkyo-bound bus from JR Kofu Station. The official guide says that reaching Yume no Matsushima, the viewpoint for Kakuenpo, involves about 1–1.5 km of walking from either the prefectural Green Line parking area or the Sengataki area. Check current seasonal bus service and stops.

Location: Shosenkyo Gorge, Kofu and Kai, Yamanashi

Planning sightseeing around dialysis

The saved coordinates mark Yume no Matsushima, an accessible visitor viewpoint for Kakuenpo, not the summit of the rock peak. The gorge is broad, and the official guide notes stairs at Yume no Matsushima, so walking distance, gradients and time vary by route. As checked on October 6, 2026, the public toilet at Yume no Matsushima was listed as unavailable due to rockfall damage; use facilities near the prefectural parking area or Takiue and check the latest trail status.

This is not medical advice or a guarantee of suitability. Follow individual clinical guidance on health, activity, fluids, and diet, and arrange the itinerary only after confirming treatment timing with the facility.
