Mount Tobetsu

There is a trailhead across the road from the entrance to the headwaters of the Mabuchi River, and after walking for about 10 minutes from the trailhead, the view suddenly opens in front of you and you emerge onto the magnificent Yasuke-daira. In early summer, the grass is filled with beautiful flowers that bloom like a fairy tale, perfect for a picnic. After passing Yasukedaira, you will find yourself in a spectacular virgin forest, and if you enjoy a leisurely stroll, you will reach Obiraki. It takes 30 minutes to climb from Obiraki to the summit, which is a rather steep climb. Altitude: 1,235m.
