I'm planning to spend 2-3 days hiking in Japan

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Japan for the end of the month and would like to spend 2-3 days of my week hiking. After a little research I'm leaning towards hiking the route between Suisho-dake and Washiba-dake from the Takase dam.

I was wondering if you would be willing to share some more details or advice on this route, as you have trekked it before. Is it a good pick or would you recommend something else? I'm especially curious as to the best way to get on and off the trail using public transport. Thanks for any advice you can provide!

Hi Megan,

Nice to hear from you.

I was not that impressed with Suisho and would encourage you to consider Mt.
Jonen-dake, Japan's 25th highest peak, which I climbed on Aug. 22, 2011.

You can view my Mt. Jonen-dake video and pics on that page.

Best wishes...

Cheers,
Gary
