AKAISHI-YAMA

My younger brother climbed AKAISHI-YAMA on September 11.




The mountain where the left is sharp is KASAGA-TAKE.


A right pond is an ONUMA POND.

ONUMA POND - It is the biggest pond in SHIGA KOGEN. It is a pond famous for the big snake legend.







The rock is rugged to the top of a mountain of AKAISHI-YAMA

Shiga Kogen at Sunset

Yesterday the sky was so beautiful that we decided to watch the sunset. Maeyama seems to be a good choice, because the Maeyama C course it's not so difficult to snowshoe hike. The course it's just about 750 m. and we reached the top of the mountain in 15 min. You just need to ask at the front desk where you can hire some snowshoes and go with comfortable shoes and warm clothes.

We start to walk about 5:15 P. M.


And we were on the summit of Maeyama at 5:30 P. M.



Just in time to watch this beautiful sunset.


Sunset watched from 1810 m above sea level.


From the summit, you can see Kasadake, Kumanoyu Ski Area and all the Hotaru Onsen Hotels

At this time of the day, all the lifts had already stopped and it's very peaceful.



If you have the chance, I highly recommend, it's worth!

Yokoteyama Skylift 3



















That's the view from the Yokoteyama Skylift 3, about 9:30 in the morning, last Thursday.



















And finally, the top of Yokoteyama. This is the lift house. You can see the lifts entering on the right. Also, this is a 2.3005 m above sea level ramen ya (Japanese noodles restaurant). Perfect to warm up after skiing for a while. There's a balcony from where you can have a panoramic view. It's said that in most clear days you can even see Mt. Fuji.

More about Yokoteyama


View from the top of Yokoteyama

That's the view from the top of Mt. Yokote (Yokoteyama).

Here you can have a Japanese meal as lamen, oden and udon, in the 2nd floor of the lift building, or you can enjoy fresh bread, coffee, hot chocolate or some hot Russian meal as Stroganoff at the highest bakery of Japan. This bakery is also an amazing place to spend the night and be able to watch the sunset and sunrise from the top of Yokoteyama, 2.300 m above sea level.
