I will be in the Matsumoto area the last week of October with a couple friends. We haven’t really decided on hikes yet but we would like to do a couple. I’ve got a few ideas to pitch to the group but without being able to drive in I want to be sure it’s worth all the travel. I understand a lot of the trail heads need an additional couple miles added on to reach by foot so some would be a hard sell/time consuming. I would consider myself an experienced hiker and my friends are in decent shape plus willing to try something around medium – semi difficult.
We will be traveling in from Azumino on the days we visit. We will also have access to a car. For those that have visited what were your favorite hikes that are doable in a day? Also any info on other cool places to see in the area would be welcome.
