Quite a mysterious and dark woods leading up to the summit, but that might have just been the time of day. The sun was hitting the other side of Kuroiwayama, and it felt brighter when I got near the top as the sunlight was streaming through the trees. 🌞
Seems like not many hikers use these trails, but most of the hike is an old forest road and there is some tape to help you through the tricky parts.
The most confusing part of the ascent is where the road ends and the trail seems to disappear. If you keep going straight and climb the bank you will see pink tape and the trail becomes more clear again.
On the way down I tried to follow the basic trajectory of previous hikers, but I couldn’t see any trail or tape so I just took what seemed to be the safest way down. However, I tried to shortcut it, and it got a little rough and steep. Perhaps it’s better to descend along the top of the ridge. Be careful of the rocky terrain. Eventually you’ll reach an old trail that will lead you back to the forest road.
