I really loved the Senjogahara Plateau Nature Trail in Nikko. I’m still relatively new to hiking, so I tend to stick to easier trails that are impossible to get lost on. It was a gorgeous hike, with so many varied views – mountains, rivers, waterfalls. All of my favorite pictures from that trip to Japan came from this hike. I chose to hike from the far end of the trail back towards town, so the bus ride back would be shorter when I decided I was done. Most people seemed to hike in the other direction. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
I just recently hiked the Odoriko Trail near Kawazu and it was superb. So many waterfalls.
Probably Nishizawa in Northern Yamanashi.
Shirouma to Tsugaike is my fave.
金勝アルプス in Shiga has an amazing trail with great views and many boulders that make it really fun to traverse!
