Mt. Hiko 英彦山

A day on Mt. Hiko provides breathtaking views, historical shrines, a 1200 year old cedar tree, and really nice hiking. There are three peaks. If you can’t fit them all in, skip Kita dake (North peak). The route down via Minami dake (South peak) is longer than the way up, but so so worth it.

Altitude: 1200 m

Estimated time: 6–8 hours
