Then, the track goes from the left of the hut, but you can also choose to go to the right. If you seek the harder and challenging route (rockier and steeper one), you can take the right path or just stick to the longer but gentler left path which is a maintained boardwalk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are lucky, you can even spot Mt. Fuji as you are getting closer to the pond! It is the perfect place to relax or have a small picnic.\u00a0 At the pond, you can find the restroom facilities and some benches to rest. During July and August, you can see different alpine flowers, while in September and early October you can admire the autumn leaves along the way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633945038874{margin-top: 30px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-left-color: #00abc7 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #00abc7 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #00abc7 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #00abc7 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Hakuba Goryu&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Route:<\/strong> Alps-Daira Station &#8211; Jizo-no-kashira- Mt.

If you have decided to challenge yourself further, the following route can be separated into 4 parts until reaching Goryu peak. The first path is a 1.5 hours hike to Mt. Kotomi (Kotohmi-yama) from Jizo cairns, followed by a 2 hours hike to &#8211; Mt. Otomi (Tohmi-yama), then another 2 hours hike to Goryu-Sanso Mountain Hut, where you can find onsen, souvenir shops, visitor centre, and restaurants. Finally, you will be reaching Goryu Peak with a 1-hour hike from the Hut.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another route from Happo-ike Hut is rated as a route for moderate level hikers. It can be planned as a continuous climb after visiting the Happo-pond. After taking the 1.5 hours hike from Happu-ike Hut to Happo-pond, the following path will take roughly 2.5 hours to Karamatsu- Dake Mountain hut. It is advised to stay the night at the hut as the following journey will require more physical strength. From Karamatsu Dake Chojo-Sanjo to the Karamatsu Dake it takes 20 minutes. After reaching the summit, the following ridgeline will lead you to Goryu Dake in about 4 hours, be aware of the rocky and graveled zones here and consider bringing along your hiking equipment to prepare for this part.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image source=&#8221;external_link&#8221; external_img_size=&#8221;FULL&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.zekkeicollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Happo-Goryu_004.jpg&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633945038874{margin-top: 30px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-left-color: #00abc7 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #00abc7 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #00abc7 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #00abc7 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Happo-one (Happo ridge)&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Route:<\/strong> Kurobishi Plateau &#8211; Happo-ike Sanso &#8211; Happo Cairn &#8211; Maruyama Cairn &#8211; Mt.Karamatsu Ridge<br \/>\n<strong>Difficulty Level<\/strong> \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Happo-one means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zekkeicollection.com\/en\/search-result-rental-2\/?location_name=Hakuba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Happo<\/a> Ridge, this trail lets hikers enjoy a beautiful panoramic scene from all directions.

This region in Nagano Prefecture is home to many precious wildflowers, plants and endemic species such as the Japanese serow (mountain deer) and grouse (wild bird).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it takes approximately 1-2 hours from Happo-ike and can be a more challenging one-day hike with larger elevation changes.
