Steep mountain trails might stay snowy very late, thisis why you might need an ice axe and crampons. Moreflat trails might have been overused and be totally
trampled, so it’s better to inquire about their status
before starting your journey.. Mt. Akita-Komagatake
is listed as one of the hundred most famous “flower

Let’s walk the Okusando path from the parking lot.
From August to December, if you’re lucky, you can see swarms
of Chestnut Tiger Butterflies, frolicking. After walking 2 km,
the ascent begins, the usual path starts by taking the Takino ue
Onsen junction. After crossing a forest of Japanese beeches,
and a quite abrupt climb, a rocky area appears. Then the slope
starts to get more gentle and you can enjoy the flagranceof Maries' firs. After passing a few water holes, you will beable to see the many flowers blooming on Mitsuishi marshy
grasslands and mountain cottage. From the mountain cottage
to the summit of Mt. Mitsuishi, the slope gets sharp again.The
stone stairs are a bit difficult to climb but if you look over yourshoulder, you can see Mt. Iwate rising, more gigantic than ever.
Around the summit is a plateau, from where you can have an
unbroken view of some of the 100 most famous mountains ofJapan: Mt. Iwate, Mt. Hayachine, then Mt. Akita-Komagatake,
Mt. Eboshidake (nicknamed “Mt Nipple” - Nyutozan) andMount Moriyoshi. If the weather is fair, why not strech yourleg’sout by walking the Uraiwate express trekking trail to

might be able to have a far away glance at Mt. Chokai.

From Takinoue’s trailhead, let’s head towards Shiranuma,
while watching the big tree.
Shiranuma is a breeding ground for forest green tree frogs,
so many egg-sacks looking like bubbles can be observed
during the eg g-laying season. In this area it is notuncommon to encounter baby frogs, so please be careful.
After Shiranuma,you’ll arrive to Mamushizaka slope. If you
look behind you halfway through the trail, you can see Mt.
Iwate and Mt. Mitsuishi, which are covered in red during
the autumn colors season. After Mamushizaka , going on
climbing will let you see the summit of Mt. Eboshidake.
In summer you can find Nikko Day Lilies, Chinguruma(Sieversia pentapetala) and other alpine plants, but pleasealso have a look at the 360° panorama on the summit.
The climax of this trail is Senshogahara. This series ofmarshy grasslands of various shapes and sizes are a real
joy to behold. This place having been used as a model for
one scene in Ghibli’s anime “Howl's Moving Castle”, you
might enjoy the feeling of living a legendary adventure.

The trailhead is from Amihari Onsen, after 40 minutes ofride on the observation lift, just climb the wooden stairs 5
minutes and you’ll reach the observation deck. From there
you can see the steam of the Inukura crater from which the
hot spring water of famous Onsen Amihari pours out, andalso the Shizukuishi basin. You will soon arrive at the Inukura

and watering points, and after a little climbing and sweating,reach the Mt. Ubakura junction. North of you is Hachimantai,
and looking East will let you see the way from Onigajo to thesummit of Mt. Iwate.
You will follow a wide and pleasant ridge with many flowers
blooming, then walk along the flank of the fuming Mt.

will finally turn into a rocky area. Onigajo’s ridgeline is located on the southern side of the outerrim of a caldera 1.3 km wide (north south) and 2km wide (east west) created by the repeatedactivity of the ancient western Iwate volcano.
That is why the southern slope opens the foot of the stratovolcano to the Shizukuishi basin,
while the edge of the northern slope is very sharp. On the top part of the valley, which is stillsnowy until early summer, you can enjoy the sight of many flowers : chinguruma (Sieversia
pentapetala), Nikko day lilies, Kinkoka (Narthecium asiaticum); on the rocky part, pincushion
plants, clubmoss mountain heathers, komebatsugazakura (Arcterica nana) and other alpine
plants.
Following the signs displayed on the rocky area, you will turn and turn and see the summit of
Mt. Iwate look step by step bigger and closer. If looking back, you can see at the bottom of thecaldera, a crater lake named Onawashiro, filled with blue water. From now on the slope will
sometimes get very sharp or slippery, so please check your footholds (handholds) very carefully.
Near the summit you can see Onigajo’s highest point, it is located at the top of Omisaka valley.
Here you will be walking on scoria gravel (black pumice stones). In July and August, Dicentra
are blooming. A little further, the Onigajo junction merges your trail with the southern Omisaka
trail. Both the Onigajo trail and the Omisaka trail lead you to the same part of the summit.

windy weather. The trekking trail which, using the lift, takes you to the summit of Mt.
Inukura is also enjoyable.From the observation deck at the summit, you’ll have a view ofHachimantai, Mt. Mitsuishi, Mt. Eboshi, and Mt. Akita-Komagatake. There are benches
so you can seat and open your bento box. The summit is a 30 minute walk from the liftterminus. It’s an easy and relax trail but don’t forget to bring your rain gear ! The Amihari
trail covers a pretty long distance and might thus take longer than expected, which
could result in missing your lift. Don’t forget you will have to descend the mountain.
Also it could be wise to plan a little bit of extra time if you end up having to descend themountain via the Omisaka trail or the Umagaeshi trail (Takizawa city).

This is a path which has been walked since the ancient
times: people used to do pilgrimages from the shrine at thebottom of Mt. Iwate to the shrine deep inside the mountain.
Nowadays, the trail head has a parking lot and there is aprefectural road next to it. You will walk up japanese larchwoods, which will soon turn into a Mongolian Oak forest.
Once you've reached the spot called Warajinugiba, you will
enjoy the sight of Japanese beech trees, maple trees, azalea, aforest landscape which can be breathtaking in spring, summer
and of course during the famous “Autumn colors” season. This
beautiful path will lead you to the “Otaki falls” observation
deck: you will face a capricious and dreamlike fall, visible onlyin May and June when the snow melts, or after heavy rain.
From the deck, a steep ascension will continue, so let’s taketime to enjoy the alpine forest landscape until we reach ascree slope where the visual field will become even larger.
This way is paved with many rocks so let’s climb carefully.
Next is a place called Kasajime and a creeping pine forest to
climb through which will lead you to an impressive lava form.

After finishing crossing this fantastic forest, you will reach Onigajo junction, where your pathcan merge with the Amihari trail. Now you can see the submit and other mountaineers climbing
up the trail. A little bit down from here is a place called Fudotai, a slope full of beautiful flowers,
especially Japanese wood poppy. There is also a cabin where you can have a picnic or just takea rest. From Fudotai to the summit, you can choose between two paths. Let’s climb the one
on your right ! On your way up you’ll find accumulations of pumice stone but also beautiful
komagusa flowers blooming in July and August, so let’s climb slowly. Let’s walk the edge ofthe large summit’s crater clockwise and you’ll have reached the highest peak of Kitatohoku
mountains: Mt. Yakushi. You can also visit the shrine deep inside the crater like the pilgrims of
the past !

We also recommend the ascension to the “Otaki falls” observation deck. In May,
dogtooth violets are buoyantly blooming along the trail. On the first ten days of
October, the Otaki valley is covered by magnificent nuances of red. From the end of May
to June, yukiwarikozakura ( Primulaceae; Primula modesta var. fauriei) blossom in fullglory with their lovely shades of pink; you can enjoy their sight while climbing the rocky
stretch from the scree slope to Kasajime.
A rope is installed, but there still a risk of overbalancing so please choose yourfootholds wisely.

周辺のおすすめスポット●Kyukamura Iwate Amihari Onsen●Amihari visitor center●Arine sanso

There is no actual mountain trail from Kamakura forest so this trail
can be climbed only when the mountain is covered in snow. From the
Amihari Visitor Center’s parking lot, let's head towards the camping
grounds: there you’ll find the starting point we recommend. Northof the camping site, a gentle slope offers a way through a strip ofmongolian oaks and other trees. To your right you’ll find a forest ofJapanese cedars. Broadleaf trees will gradually be replaced by big
Japanese beech trees. Now 1 km around you lays a flat land called“Obunadaira”. Why not take a break and enjoy the view ? After
this, the slope will step by step become more abrupt. Between
Tschonoski's maple trees and Erman’s birch trees, you will encountersmaller Japanese beeches which growth was hindered by the cold
temperature and the arid atmosphere. The ridgeline will narrow around1170 meters high and on your right some overhanging snow will be apotential danger so please take care. Its safer to choose a path along
the line of trees on your left. When you’ll start seeing conifers on youralright, it will mean that the summit is not far ! Behind the summit, if
the weather conditions are good, you’ll be rewarded with a nice viewof Mt. Iwate. Then when you will start going down, please keep inmind that the snow quality might have changed ! Take care !

These could also prove useful.

(winter mountain climbing)Since there is no visible track or even any sign, you have to create your own itinerary. Youmight find pin tape on some trees, but this is nothing official, so don’t rely on them. Add tothis, since this is a winter ascension, you will need special gear, and since the texture of thesnow is always changing, you should bring different styles of snowshoes with you. Hugeamounts of snow can fall on your head from trees or from the skies so please be careful.
Once again never wander near ovehanging snow areas or even mountain streams.

CyclingSpecial underwear, keeping you warm and easy to dry, warming woolen fabric clothes, canhelp you keep your temperature. Please bring also lighter clothes in your backpack.
①Warm and waterproof boots are also mandatory.
②Gloves and hats, hats with a leather layer inside will protect you against the cold andthe freezing winds. It’s even better to combine layers of woolen fabric on top of these.
Your hat should of course cover your ears.
③Your outerwear will be more efficient against cold if it’s made of GORE-TEX stylerainproof textile. A hoodie style one might be the best.
