yTrekking & Viewz@ Mount Ontake, Mount Hinode, Mount Aso, Mount Konpira (Tokyo pref.)

I hiked Mt. Hinode, Mt. Aso, and Mt. Konpira in northwestern Tokyo.
@This route is easy to walk because, once you take the cable car up, it's basically downhill (although there are intermittent, somewhat rough climbs afterwards). I was also happy that there were places with great views along the way! (November 27, 2021) @(Nihedon @ KesaranPasaran Lab)

Shigesada Hatakeyama

He was a warrior of "Unparalleled Strength" and "Martial Prowess", and was known as the "Model of Bando warriors" due to his upright and honest character.

There is also a legend that "he carried his horse down a steep cliff" in the Battle of Ichinotani.

šThe route to Mt.Aso is a little difficult to find.š

To get to Asoyama, it seems the most common route is to take the route from Hinodeyama to Konpirayama and then return to Asoyama via a "round trip."

I hiked Hinodeyama ¨ Asoyama ¨ Konpirayama in a single continuous loop, but this route is quite confusing, and you might get lost without a GPS tool like YAMAP.

There are signs, but you have to descend a cliff that doesn't really look like a path, and then make a sharp turn. The signs are difficult to see until after you've made the sharp turn, so I think there's a high chance you might continue descending without turning.

Therefore, this is the only "point to be careful of" on this route.
