The time has come for azalea and hiking on Tatsugane mountain in Minami sanriku.
Around the summit of Tatsugane mountain 512m high from the sea level, you can be surronded by 50,000 roots of azalea red flowers and fresh green leaves. You can enjoy beautiful view of the Pacific ocean and clear blue sky if the weather conditions are good.
It is good to drive to the top or by MTB bicycle, but my suggestion is the hiking on the “Gyouja no michi” ascetic trail.
It is not difficult but easy also for the beginners taking only 1.5hours from the parking to the summit. You may enjoy fresh air and pure nature of beautiful Tohoku. Your satisfaction guaranteed!
This is truly a wonderland of nature in Tohoku.
