Wagadake

At an altitude of 1,440 meters, Mt. Wagadake retains valuable natural beauty such as primeval beech forests and clumps of alpine plants. Because the mountain is steep, there are few climbers, so it is full of freshness. The view is good, and on a clear day you can see the mountain range far into the distance. Just looking at the crystal clear water flowing from the headwaters of the Waga River will soothe your soul.
