Mt. MYOKO

PEAK ALTITUDE

ROUTE LENGTH

10.5KM

Mt Myoko is an exciting mountain to climb. The hiking trail can also be tough if you don’t properly pace yourself. The course is steep from beginning to end with not many areas allowing you to take it easy. The climb to the summit is the most exciting part of the climb. You will ascend via chains which are hammered into the rocks. Don’t be put off by this as it’s easier than it may sound and the climb is traversed by school children and elderly climbers each year.

You will need to climb via chains and take several narrow paths which have breathtaking views. Once you get to the top don’t just stop at the first peak, you can walk across to the second peak which is more open and is great place to have your lunch and a rest. From the summit you can see the entire region, all the way to the Sea of Japan. On a clear day you can also see Mt Fuji as you climb to the top.

Please note that you can also climb from and return to Akakura Kanko Resort. Please check the map below for the path that heads in that direction.
