Oze, Mt. Aizu-Komagatake and Lake Oku-tadami are all nearby.
There are three mountaineering routes that can be negotiated on this mountain: the Takizawa Route and the Kirinte Route from Hinoemata Village and a route that traces a path from Miike through the mountain ridge to the summit.
The two routes that start in Hinoemata Village go through various forest zones corresponding to elevation, with a Quercus crispula Blume (oak) zone near the bottom, followed by—in succession—a beech zone, Maries’ fir zone, and gold birch zone. These routes allow climbers to explore forests that lead to the presence of alpine plants right below the ridgeline of the mountain.
The route that begins in Miike is a popular way to enjoy a tranquil alpine trip since it gives climbers a chance to follow a graceful mountain ridgeline while gazing out at the Okutadami area and the Taisaku mountain range.
“cafeteria Miyamae” is also nearby.
