Awagatake Mountain Opening

Start of the climbing season!
The "three peaks" of "Awagatake" are a prominent landmark that can be seen from afar. It takes about 4 hours to reach the summit from the Kita Ibyakugawa trailhead. The mountain opening ceremony is held every year on May 5, marking the start of the climbing season. Nearby, there is also a day-use hot spring facility called "Iiyu Ratei", so why not relax your tired body after climbing? *Please be sure to take out insurance individually.
