I hiked up Mt. Iwate via Umagaeshi in the afternoon and spent the night in the lodge on the 8th Station. Hopefully, the information I share will inspire some of you to do the same, and not to make the mistakes I did. The Lodge is open from July 1st through September.

I love hiking Mt. Iwate — check out my other Mt. Iwate videos here:
