掲載日:2021.11.26

This time we will be introducing Kurosoyama, one of the most famous mountains in Mie Prefecture, which has been selected as one of Japan's 300 Famous Mountains! This time I visited during the summer and fall! Please take a look at the highlights of Mt.Kurusonzan, which is an easy place for beginner mountain climbers and those with children!

◆Article creation: ASOBISIA #Mie Travel Camera Club

A trio of close friends who love the outdoors. Normally, he struggles as a Japanese office worker and faces the turbulent waves of society. In October​ ​2020, he formed ASOBISIA after climbing a mountain one day, and opened Instagram and YouTube. On Instagram, his SUP photo in Miyagawa ranked first in the 2020 "Likes" ranking for Mie Tourism. This is a fledgling and active group.

Kurosoyama


Mt. Kurutson is a mountain with an altitude of 1037m that straddles TsuCity and Soni Village, Nara Prefecture, and has been selected as one of Japan's 300 Famous Mountains. On the way to the summit of Mt. Kurutaka, there is also a beautiful plateau called Soni Kogen! It has its own beauty in spring, summer, fall and winter, making it a popular spot all year round!


◾️Access

・Soni Kogen Noguchi Parking Lot *Paid 600 yen for regular cars

633-1202 Taraji, Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture

Although there is a fee, we recommend parking here as it is a 5-minute walk to the entrance to Soni Plateau.


#Reiwa commemoration at Mt. Karusonzan.

In the early summer of 2019, we visited Mt. Karusonzan just after the era name changed to "Reiwa." I tried to eat the "Reiwa commemorative version of Cup Noodles" that I bought at a convenience store on the way to the parking lot near the mountaintop, but there was a warning that no fires were allowed on the mountaintop, so I gave up. . (LOL) We took a commemorative photo and said goodbye to “Heisei” and welcomed the new era name “Reiwa”! (lol)

Soni Plateau in summer


#Going through Soni Plateau aiming for Kameyama

please look! The blue of this sky, the green of the plateau! And a wonderful silhouette like the back of a turtle! On the way to Mt. Karusonzan, we aim for this mountain called "Kameyama", which has a wide plateau. “Kameyama” is a name that is familiar to the people of Mie Prefecture, so you can feel a sense of familiarity with it.

If you visit in early summer, you will see a plateau filled with bright greenery, giving you the feeling of a `` blue earth'' that feels like a blue carpet has been laid out. It feels great to take a deep breath of fresh air in such a beautiful place! There is also a legend called​ ​`` Okame Pond'' located halfway up the plateau. If you are interested, please check it out ^^

#Like tracing a carpet...

To reach the Kameyama ridge, climb up the stairs built on Soni Plateau. From the photo, you can clearly see that the road continues all the way to the ridge. Rather than mountain climbingis a good hiking trail Easy to climb It is a spot where you can easily enjoy mountain climbing! As if tracing a blue carpet, pampas grass blooms in autumn. visibilityClimb while feeling full and enjoying the scenery ^^ Oh, be careful not to lose your footing because you're so fascinated by it! (lol)

#Kameyama, a straight path.

To reach Mt. Karusonzan, walk along this beautiful ridge. The path is about the width of one person, soplease be careful not to fall. On this day, the weather was nice andI could clearly see the ridge and plateau, and it felt like I was walking on the back of a huge creature! (lol)

# Observation plaza at an altitude of 900m

Proceeding along the Kameyama ridge, you will arrive at an observation plaza located at an altitude of 900m. The view of Soni Plateau and Okameike from here is spectacular! I can clearly see the path we have taken, and even at this point I can feel a sense of accomplishment. Let's have this magnificent scenery all to ourselves ^^

This is a photo I'm proud of, with no shadow of clouds and the blue of Soni Plateau standing out!

#Looking ahead

I found a rocky place that looked like I could get a panoramic view of the scenery.I was overwhelmed by the endless green sea!Please find your favorite photo spot!

By photographing above the rocky area without showing the ground, the photo will look as if you are standing on a rocky area on top of a cliff. It will create a more magnificent feeling and endless scenery!

Spread your arms out in the middle of nature and take a deep breath while feeling the pleasant breeze.I immersed myself in a special time created by nature that made me feel like I could do anything!spreads out endlessly and take in this spectacular view, which gave me a lot of power ^^I was able to stand on a plateau that

#Large panorama

Take a commemorative photo at a place where you can overlook the Soni Plateau! The ridgeline reflected in the background is so beautiful...!!The scenery is so clear, and it's so clear in my memory! !

Being able to see such a scenery,the three of us smiling so naturally in the photo are dazzling! ! (Storm of self-praise)



Soni Plateau in autumn

When you think of mountains in autumn, you probably think of autumn leaves, but there is pampas grass on the Soni Plateau in autumn!Watching the pampas grass sway in the autumn breeze will soothe your soul. Isn't it rare to find a spot where you can see this much pampas grass?The best time to see pampas grass is from early October to late November every year. Yellow around late NovemberIt is golden in color and very beautiful.


The Soni Plateau is very well ventilated, so it gets quite cold in the fall and winter.

Don't forget to take measures against the cold!

↑There are always pampas grass on the side of the sidewalk like this (lol)

Japanese pampas grass is about 1 to 2 meters tall, and there are many places where it grows taller than people. It's rare to find a spot where you can climb a mountain while being surrounded by pampas grass. Walking around feels so good! Let's take lots of photos and leave memories ^^

#Tourism Mie Special Sentai! ASOBISIA is here! ! !

#How to enjoy ASOBISIA style

We also recommend hiking with a fallen pampas grass attached to your backpack (lol) With just a few ideas, you can feel autumn on your skin! (lol) This is one of the ASOBISIA ways to enjoy it ^^

#Autumn observation deck

From the observation plaza, you can see the ocher-colored Soni Plateau, which is different from summer!If you look at the pampas grass swaying in the autumn breeze from a high position, it looks like a living creature swaying wildly. beautiful! ! ! I can feel the atmosphere.

Just by sitting on a rocky area or folding your arms and staring into the distance, you can create an emotional photo in the twilight (lol)
If you are unsure of the pose

#Series that talks on the back

Snap in the same place as summer.this positionThe Soni Plateau the best panoramain I think this is the best spot with a great view! It's a special seat where you can feel the wind of nature and a special time, so when you visit here, please try to imitate it!

#Pampas grass dyed in golden yellow

When the sun shines on the pampas grass, it turns golden yellow, creating a mysterious atmosphere. I think it's one of the best mountains in Japan where you can see such beautiful scenery after climbing for about 20 to 30 minutes!

this​ ​beauty, many people visit during the pampas grass season, and the parking lot can fill up early. Please be careful!Because of



#Aim for the mountaintop

From here, we say goodbye to the spectacular view of Japanese pampas grass and head to the summit of Mt. As you go north through Kameyama Pass, trees gradually grow thicker and more rugged rocky areas appear, completely changing the atmosphere from the Soni Highlands!
※please note※
Up to this point, the mountain path is well-maintained and is suitable for beginners, but from here on there are rocky areas and steep slopes, and the mountain path becomes a little steeper and becomes more difficult. Be careful if you are a beginner or bring children!


After climbing the mountain trail for a while, you will see a hut, and a little beyond the hut will be the observation spot in the photo, ``Nibonboso''. The section from Nibonboso to the summit of Mt. Karusonzan appears to be private land, so don't forget to pay a 500 yen entrance fee!


By the way, the origin of Nibonboso is said to be because in the past there were two large trees called Hoso!

#A short detour and a snack of sardines

There is also an observation spot called “Sardine Mouth” right next to Nibonboso!However, the road to Sardine Mouchi is quite steep and cliff-like, so please be careful when taking a detour. . . !

The origin of sardine mouth is... I don't know (lol), but for now, let's pout like a sardine when taking a photo! (lol)

#Spectacular view refill

The photo is the view from Nibonboso again! After admiring the spectacular view of Soni Plateau, please indulge in another spectacular view! Each scenery is different (lol)


A phrase here

It's a separate meal, with a second helping of spectacular scenery.

#ASOBISIA, the moment of first ascent of Reiwa

From Nibonboso to the summit of Mt. Karusonzan, the trail has ups and downs, descending a little and then climbing again. There are some steep climbs near the top of the mountain, but don't rush and climb slowly.

As I worked my way up, I found a signboard at the top of the mountain! A good photo that doesn't make you feel tired! (LOL)The summit was spacious and there were wooden benches, so we had a relaxing time!

Eating at the top of the mountain makes my mind and body full♪


Thank you for reading the article! ! ! See you again at the top of a mountain somewhere! ! (lol)

I hope you can stay healthy and enjoy mountain climbing and outdoor activities even in Reiwa ^^
