Walkable: Caution on the rocky descent from Mt. Ura-Shiga due to numerous loose stones.
On a mountain scarred by vast lava flows, you can see ponds formed from craters. From near the summit of Mt. Ura-Shiga, breathtaking views extend over Onuma-ike Pond, Moto-ike Pond, and Shijuhachi-ike Wetland. Trailhead choice to Mt. Shiga affects the feel and duration.
*If the chairlift is not operating, the hike will start from the Hotaru Onsen bus stop, with an uphill walk of about 20–30 minutes (100m elevation gain / 1km distance)
