Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park
Small Groups
About 9.5 Hours
Mt. Myoko (top 100 mountain of Japan) in the Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park has long been considered a sacred mountain where spirits and gods that watch over farming live, as well as a place of worship and for “Shugendo” religious training. During the Edo era, there was annually one day designated when worshippers were permitted to climb Mt. Myoko. Legend says that up to 1,200 people could make the ascent from the Hozo-in (managed by Sekiyama Shrine) to the summit of the mountain to raise their village banners, chant and blow a conch shell. In this program, participants will climb the mountain with a local, professional guide to see the waterfalls, ponds, small shrines, and rocks that have made this a sacred path since ancient times. Retrace the footsteps of local ancestors as you ascend the rugged trails of this great sacred mountain and admire the fabulous variety of views and panoramas.
► The trails are steep and full of challenges. Even as a day hike, this is a true mountain climb.
► See the waterfalls, ponds, small shrines, and large rocks that have attracted the faithful to this route since ancient times.
► On clear days, see breathtaking views of all the surrounding national park mountains.
► After your hike, feel free to take a dip and refresh yourself in a free hot spring bath located at Tsubame Onsen.
