Remark 1
① When you get off at Tengachaya, aim for Mt. Misaka from the promenade around the teahouse where the Osamu Dazai literary monument is located.It's not so tight, and if you climb the last steep slope, you'll reach the summit of Misaka.Surrounded by miscellaneous trees, the outlook is unclear.
Remark 2
② Go down Mt. Misaka, look at Mt. Fuji over the branches of larch at Misaka Pass, go down the ridge road a little, and climb the old slope with fir and beech to reach Kurodake.
The summit of Mt. Kurodake is surrounded by forests and you can't see the view, but if you walk a narrow road to the south for about 2 minutes, you will find a place with a good view, so be sure to take a look.You can see Lake Kawaguchi, the Southern Alps and the mountains of Oku Misaka on Mt. Fuji.
Remark 3
③ Return to the summit of Mt. Kurodake and head for the next peak, Mt. Happusan.On the way, go straight past the branch (lily of the valley pass) leading to the lily of the valley field on the Kamiashi River, and you will reach the brightly open gable peak.
