Hiking in Japan

Extra Information:

The trail is pretty well-marked, but the 33 Kannon statues on the slopes of Mt Sekisen (石船山) are hard to find.

When to go: This can be done year round except for the days when snow falls in Hofu city. Be careful of heatstroke in the summer and Japanese hornets in September and October.

Access: While you can walk from Hofu station (about 90 minutes to the trailhead), a taxi will save you a lot of time and hassle. The bus from Tsukahara at the end of the hike is infrequent. You can use this website to search. Just type Tsukahara and select for Hofu station and it will tell you when the next bus will arrive.
