Mt. Sanbon-Yaridake, Nasu

Mt. Sanbon-yaridake (三本槍岳（さんぼんやりだけ）) is a mountain with 1917 m high and places at the boarder of Fukushima and Tochigi Prefectures.

The blue sky welcomed us and it was a very nice trekking day with beautiful trail between mountains.

Walking on the trail with Mt. Chausu-dake (茶臼岳) on our left. Mt. Chausu-dake can be more easily accessed by the Nasu ropeway and walking less than one hour.(see the trail map here)

We passed through the col called Mineno-chaya where is famous for the strong wind. It is always so, the wind around here is very strong and cold. You need to prepare your wear protection against cold.

 After approximately two hours of hiking, we reached to the top of Mt. Sanbon-yaridake.

We dropped by Mt. Asahidake.

 

After 9:00 am, a number of hikers increased, so it's better to start at early morning.

Around Mt. Chausudake, you can hear the sound very similar to the jet airplane flying just over you. It's a kind of small explosion sound, because Mt. Chausudake is a volcanic mountain.
