I climbed this Mt. Kosho (Koshosan) last September but I got a little lost, I dropped my camera and I didn’t get a good view at the top due to bad weather. But I got my revenge! I love hiking in Japan!

OTHER NOTES
The path has some damage from heavy rain but it’s not dangerous. Please check up-to-date information before you hike. Akizuki town surely looks better when the leaves change color. I’ll go back for a long walk around town next time.
