What other travelers are saying about Mount Nantai
Mount Nantai is one of the 100 famous Japanese mountains located in Nikko,Tochigi Prefecture and this mountain is 2,486 m
If you are planning to climb this mountain,I recommend you to do early morning and in a good season where weather could be best for everything.i paid 1000 yen for the single entry from the base for this hike.
And yes I have uploaded some pictures of the hiking trail where you need to climb through the rocks and stones roughly 9km distance.so be prepared 🤞
This is my 2nd time coming here. The view is very beautiful. I like to come during the autumn leaves season. There are a lot of rocks on the way up. For me, it took me 3 hours to walk up and 2.5 hours to walk down.
Amazing experience !
What a hiking there several kind of paths during the hiking so be ready because it’s quite difficult hiking.
I was unlucky because it was very cloudy but anyway I didn’t regret my choice.
Be careful the night becomes very fast
The hiking takes about 6 hours ( up and down)
Enjoy !!
It’s just incredible. We did go up in less than 2,5 hours, but you need to be fit and an experienced hiker. The views are amazing. You can see mount Fuji in the distance very well when the weather allows.
From Nikko Station, take the bus to Chuzenji Lake area. The entrance to the hiking trail starts from Nikko Futarasan Jinja Chugushi Shrine. I gave it 5 starts because the landscape and view was just so amazing! This is a medium level hike and make sure to have plenty of time when you hike this mountain (ideally, you want to book accomodation around the lake area since the hike will take you half a day, without counting the bus commuting time). Make sure to bring some lunch, be aware that there are not many convini stores or supermarkets around the lake, and the restaurants tends to close in the early afternoon, so plan well in advance! So my suggestion is to come with good supplies. Coming early from Nikko Station, we did the hike to the top on the same day. It can get rainy so bring your rainwear as well. There are some rocks to climb and can get slippery.
