アクセス

利用交通機関：

電車 バス

Took a bus from Nisaki station to Mizugaki-Sanso (2,060 yen), and then the bus from Nishizawa-keikoku Iriguchi (1,030 yen) to Enzan station.

コース状況／危険箇所等

Course was well maintained and well marked, but there were a large number of fallen trees on the trail between Kokushigatake and Kobushigatake. There were also some wet and slippery descents.

その他周辺情報

There are a few places to hang a hammock at the top of Mizugaki, and in the trees along the route. Be warned that hammocks are not allowed in the National Park area around Kokushigatake.

After a 3.5 hour train ride and an hour on the bus, I arrived at Mizugaki Sanso, the starting point for my four day hike.

9/28 14:07

I filled in my itinerary card with my route plan (this is used by search and rescue) and started along the trail.

9/28 14:17

I immediately realised that fall had already come to this part of Japan, and that it was much much cooler than Tokyo!

9/28 14:30

I soon caught a glimpse of Mount Mizugaki in the distance.

9/28 14:34

The plan was to get to a small hikers hut about an hour up the trail, spend the night there, and then head up Mizugaki the next morning.

9/28 14:40

The folks in charge of the hikers gut had set up a water distribution for hikers, so I filled up. The hut was locked up, and the weather was clearing, so I decided to head up the mountain and make camp there.

9/28 15:18

About 30 minutes later I came across Momotaro's rock.

9/28 15:19

Momotaro is a Japanese tale about a boy that is born (hatched) to an elderly couple from a giant peach. This rock is named after him because of the crack down the middle, like the peach he was born from.

9/28 16:18

I was climbing higher and higher

9/28 16:26

And after what seemed more like a bouldering exercise than a hike...

9/28 16:27

I found myself at the 2330m peak. I had made it in just under 3 hours.

9/28 16:30

The views were stunning, even with all the clouds.

9/28 16:30

9/28 18:10

A nice evening view as well.

9/29 4:58

My hammock and shelter performed admirably, but the wind at the peak was so strong that it kept me awake most of the night. The uneven ground forced me to hang my tarp very low, which actually helped cut alot of the wind from getting to me, so I was pretty warm.

9/29 5:33

I was up in time for the sunrise.

9/29 5:39

It was beautiful.

9/29 6:35

I needed to escape the wind and the chill, so I wasted no time getting down off the mountain. It was sketchy!

9/29 7:23

A rock mountain at the base of Momotaro's rock.

9/29 7:23

I wonder if these sticks help keep it from rolling away?

9/29 7:24

9/29 7:25

9/29 8:28

I had planned hiking up and back Friday morning, but was back at the hiker hut already. I had breakfast, took a small break, and then headed along to my next mountain. I was already three hours ahead of schedule, so I was confident I would reach Mount Kinpu with ease.

9/29 9:05

It started off as a nice hike...

9/29 9:10

With some huts spread along the way.

9/29 9:30

The top of long climbs were rewarded with lovely views

9/29 9:31

and the trail was well marked (if you read Japanese).

9/29 9:48

I didn't run into many other hikers, so I was alone to sing to myself. I had some of the strangest songs stuck in my head.

9/29 10:07

Again, I was reminded of fall as I came across trees that were already changing colour. I love this time of year.

9/29 10:30

At some point I realised that I had been going up for a long time, and that most of the trees were now behind me.

9/29 10:30

Looking back the way I came I saw this rock, and thought to my self, that kind of looks like a dick! It was kind of foreshadowing for the trail I was about to hike (scramble) up.

9/29 10:38

Mt. Fuji seemed to be following me.

9/29 10:51

Oh, I'm going up there am I?

9/29 11:26

Getting to the top of Mt. Kinpu was a real workout. The trail was rocky boulders that had to be climbed and scrambled up for about an hour. Each moment was a measured decision on what line to take, making sure foot and hand holds were stable, and being aware of the extra weight on my back.

9/29 11:27

But I made it!

9/29 12:07

The old sign at the true peak, which was about 20 meters from the new sign post.

9/29 12:07

I couldn't stop taking photos of Mt Fuji. It's just such a beautiful and powerful mountain.

9/29 12:15

Time to head down.

9/29 12:42

I soon found myself back in the trees. As a hammock camper, I am always scouting for good hang spots. This one looked good. Mental note for next time.

9/29 13:10

I had originally planned to make camp about an hour or two after Mt. Kinpu, but because I was about three hours ahead of schedule, I decided to push on and go all the way to the hikers hut at Odarumikoge.

9/29 14:03

I still managed to get here around 3:00 in the afternoon. I was making pretty great time. I had hiked about 8 hours, with some pretty good climbs in there, and was eager to sleep.

9/29 16:22

After a bit of pleading with the hut owner, who didn't want me to hang a hammock, I was able to get settled for the evening. It was SO COLD. My hammock is set up for about 6 degrees, but I think it probably got down to 2 or 3 degrees, and the wind made it worse! I had the tarp too high, which let too much wind in.

9/30 7:30

So I was up and out early (again) because the easiest way to stay warm if to move. It was a six hour hike to the next peak, so I wanted to get there early and set camp for my last night.

9/30 7:43

I made it to Mt. Kokushigatake. It is one of a hundred famous mountains in Yamanashi, and one of three hundred in Japan. That's a nod to just how many mountains there are in Japan.

9/30 9:52

Then more walking.

9/30 10:06

This was probably the most pleasant hiking trail I had experienced in Japan. With the exception of alot of dead fall from a recent typhoon, the trail was well marked an easy to walk.

9/30 10:07

Animals seemed to be enjoying the easy to reach treats provided by the toppled trees.

9/30 10:32

And the views! Constantly awesome.

9/30 11:02

There were plenty of markers.

9/30 11:38

That helped me keep track of where I was and the progress I was making.

9/30 11:42

At one point I turned a corner and found myself on the edge of a pretty steep fall. I couldn't believe that the trail was down there. I wondered if the trail had slid away in the recent rain and typhoon, but realised it looked too clean. After some searching I found the trail and continued on

9/30 11:49

The final marker before Mt. Kobushigatake. I was getting close.

9/30 12:07

I made the peak at about 12:10. I had done the 6 hour hike in 5 hours.

9/30 12:09

I snapped a few pics,

9/30 12:09

of the view,

9/30 12:09

and the crowd.

9/30 12:28

I headed down to the hikers hut where I planned to stay the night. But I was torn. Last night had been so cold, and I didn't want to stay up at this altitude in my light hammock. It was a 4 hour hike down, but I was making good times. The last bus was at 3:30, so if I hurried I could catch it and head home, or make camp at the bottom where it would be warmer than up at 2500m

9/30 14:58

I didn't have time to stop and take photos on the way down. I always have trouble descending because of my knees, and this was no different. It seemed like I was going straight down for hours and hours, and I just couldn't make up time. I tried pushing through the pain, and snapped this quick photo of the hikers hut at the bottom.

9/30 15:45

I made it to the bus stop at 3:25! Turns out the bus didn't leave until 3:40, so I had "lots" of time. I could have taken so many more photos of my tripping and falling down a mountain side.

I hiked from opposite ends of the mountains.

Re: Otsukare-sama
Really? The climb up to Mt. Kobushi must have been challenging. Great Job! 次回一緒に歩きましょうね。(笑)
