This year we’ve resolved ourselves to climb Mt. Tsukuba. No big deal given the fact that we’ve lived near this mountain for past 10 yrs now. This mountain is one of the recommended mountain climbing choices in Japan. You can read more about this awesome mountain on Wikipedia.
The map to climb Mt. Tsukuba is available as a PDF file here. The Miyuki-ga-hara trail is the most arduous while the Mukaeba trail is easier & much more fun together for first timers.
Here are some photo memories from our climb up there – we chose Mukaeba trail to climb up, then used cable car down.
Our second climb was more prepared (we were looking forward to the tough one this time). This time we chose to go up through the Miyuki-ga-hara trail, then chose Mukaeba trail back down. We didn’t manage to take many photos this time, but some of them are here if you’re interested.
Definitely recommend this mountain should you choose to explore more from Japan!
