Hi!
On the long weekend July 18-20 (Monday is public holiday), I plan to do the 3-days circuit hike from Kamikochi to Yari and Hotaka with the challenging traverse of the Daikiretto.
Tentative plan:
- Overnight bus from Osaka/Kyoto to Kamikochi, departure Friday evening (July 17th). Depending on the number of participants and available seats on the bus, rental car is another option.
- Hiking from Saturday to Monday, departure from Kamikochi on Monday in the afternoon, return to Kyoto/Osaka in the evening on July 20th.
- Sleeping in tents and cooking by ourselves in order to avoid the crowded and expensive mountain huts
Since this will be a 3.5 to 4 star event, only members are allowed. A high level of fitness, confidence for hiking on a long and exposed ridge with strong winds, experience in hiking and easy climbing with heavy gear and full equipment are mandatory.
I also need a co-leader for this trip.
Because of the dangers of hiking the Daikiretto in bad weather, the hiking route will be changed (but still around Kamikochi) if the conditions are bad.
If you are interested, email me until July 27.
