1.This is the most popular hiking route for one day trekk from Kiyosato. It passes through a valley, a forst near waterfalls, and leads to the top of Mt.Meshimori, where the 360-degree view of the area is phenomenal In the spring and summer, the sound of birds chirping brings this valley to life. |
2.This trail easily accessible and suitable for a family hike. There are
stairs along the steeper sections. Highlights include a nice view of dairy cattle in meadows, a swamp ,and a lovely mountain scene. In early June, azalea bloom along the hill. |
3.This route cuts through a deep ravine, making for a bit of an adventure,
the path, however,is well-marked and maintained. The trail starts at the Higashizawa Bridge and finishes at "Dory" Falls, whichi takes its name from its resemblance to an angly dragon. A wide array of native birds can be seen and heard along the length of the route. Cool, fresh air in summer, and golden leaves in autumn (Mid October) make the walk particulary refreshing. |
4.Mt.Akadake(2,899m) is the highest peak in the Yatsugatake mountain range.
From the peak, the view is absolutely breathtaking in all directions. To reach the top of Mt. Akadake, there is a well-graded, steady climb of about 4-5 hours from Utsukushimori. It is possible to make this a day trip if you set out ealy in the morning, but we recommend that you spend a night in one of the huts at the top of the peak in order to see the sunrise over the mountain in the morning. |
