WARNING

Around this mountain is a high accident area because the trails are not for beginner hikers. Sometimes people get injured or sick due to an accident, or they have accidentally slipped to the bottom.

In fact, every year a few people died around this mountainous area. If your stamina, skills and equipment such as crampons are not sufficient for this sort of challenge, you shouldn't go there. If you are a foreigner and are not used to trekking on that type of route in Japan, you should go there with an experienced person.

The end of the trekking information.
Have a nice trip!

Let's go to another mountain!
