Mt Ontake

Hi there

I went to Mt Ontake which is located in south of Mt Norikura.

Mt Ontake consists of various other Japanese mountains.

The highest peak is 3067m

Luckily we could see snow on the top of the mountain.

It is about 3hours hike to the top and  2hours to go down.

There is a famous onsen called Nigorigo at bottom of the mountain  on the side of Gifu prefecture.

It is really nice after hiking!!

Access:2hours from Takayama by car.

Snows on the top
