About the Mountain

Date and Weather
Date and time: July 2019
Weather: Cloudy → Fog
About the route
Standard course time: Approximately 7 hours and 30 minutes
Nishitanzawa Nature Park → Tsutsuji New Trail Entrance → Gorazawa Junction → Observation Deck → Ishidanayama Branch → Hinokihoramaru → Aogadake Sanso → Hinokihoramaru → Ishidanayama Branch → Observation Deck → Gorazawa Junction → Tsutsuji New Trail Entrance → Nishitanzawa Nature Park
Equipment
In summer, no special equipment is required.
Physical strength and skills
The course time is short, but you will have to climb large steps, so it will be very physically demanding.
Also, since it is surrounded by rock walls and is hot, it is a good idea to bring plenty of drinks.
Recommended ways to get there
The circular route involves a longer walk, so it is easier to do the round trip from Mizugaki Sanso.
I think the circular route is interesting because you can walk different paths on the way there and back.
