Top Mountains in Japan

I think it's a good idea to download an offline map before you go. The signal can be spotty once you're up in the mountains, and I got lost a bit trying to find my way back!

My advice is to pack your own lunch and snacks. The restaurants near the base can be pricey and they're not that great. I saved a bunch of yen just by bringing my own food!

I suggest visiting right before sunset; the view is absolutely breathtaking and you can catch both day and night scenes in one go. Just make sure to check the sunset time beforehand!

My advice is to grab a few snacks at the base before heading up. The prices at the observation deck can be a bit steep plus you'll want some energy for the hike back down!

I suggest packing some snacks if you're planning to hike all day. The prices at the local shops can be a bit high and trust me a granola bar on the trail is way more satisfying.
