Mt. Ontake-san (御嶽山) Schedule &
Expenses
As can be clearly seen from my Mt. Ontake-san (御嶽山) schedule
& expenses shown below, this mountain was a
real snap to get to from Tokyo. And it was without question one of the
easiest of Japan's 25 highest mountains that I've ever climbed.
On Aug. 9, 2001, I left
Shinjuku Station in Tokyo at 7 am, started hiking at 12:30 pm, reached
the summit of Mt. Ontake-san (御嶽山) @ 3:20 pm, and finished
hiking at
7 pm at the Asahi-so
minshuku in Nigorigo
Onsen (濁河温泉) where I spent
the
night. That's right……it was a 6 1/2 hour day hike.
More details on this trip, including pics, maps, & access
info are on my main Mt.
Ontake-san (御嶽山) page. Thanks for visiting.
