A Long-Awaited Hike up Mt. Shiraiwa 👟
From the 13th to the 17th, the town road Hon’yashiki–Hagisen reopened to regular vehicles, so I left my car at Gokasecho Highland Ski Area’s Ski Center and hiked up Mt. Shiraiwa 💪
Because the management road up to the ski area still prohibits ordinary cars, I first headed on foot for the Gobobatake trailhead ✨
About 30 minutes after starting, I reached the Gobobatake trailhead 💡
From there I set off on my long-awaited hike up Mt. Shiraiwa 😊
The trail was rough at first, but it was generally easy to walk and the cool weather made the climb comfortable ✨
At the summit I exchanged valuable information and learned about conditions on nearby peaks 👍
The photos show an asagi-madara butterfly and alpine wildflowers I encountered along the way 🥰
It felt great to hike Mt. Shiraiwa again and it was a refreshing experience 😆
