Hiking in Japan

Extra details:

The hike to the summit is pretty straightforward. The trailhead to Kasayama is hard to find as it’s completely unmarked. From the trailhead of Mt Tsuno head down the road to the right of the small shrine and walk straight toward the peak which sits due east. The trailhead is on the same street as Sakaide St. Martin’s Hospital and it very close to a cemetery named 坂出さくら離宮. Here is a pin on Google maps. Cross over the chain spanning the concrete driveway and walk along the edge of the cemetery and follow the trail up to the summit. The path steepens just before the summit, climbing through a short rocky section. The panoramic views from the summit of Kasayama are nothing short of spectacular, but be warned: there is absolutely no shade on the narrow summit, so take care on hot sunny days.

I forgot to mention in the video, but there is a swing and pull-up bar on the summit of the mountain, which is where I did the pull-up in the closing credits.
