**Closed for winter / Reopens early June 2026**

The trail from Shijuhachi-ike Wetland to Mt. Yokote summit is surrounded by forests and bamboo grass. After heavy rain, puddles can form easily, so caution is needed. This can be exposed and is a challenging trail. Be well prepared for sunshine and wind.

*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)
