When we have enough time and energy, let's try to climb 623m Mt.Takasuzu, it is just next to Mt.Oiwa.

What to bring:

  • Rain gear: (whether forecast says there is possibility to rain)
  • Hiking shoes for low mountain: ( NO! converse shoes!! at least walking shoes or sports shoes, there is slippery and rocky place on the mountain trail.)
  • Water and snacks for 3 hours hike.
  • Camera if you want.
  • Lunch ( in case you are vegetarian or don't like to eat seafood at fish market, I recommend to bring your own lunch.)
