Mt. Kanamatayama, located on the ridge west of Mt. Hotaka, offers a scenic hiking experience through a beech forest known for its rhododendron groves. Reaching the summit rewards you with panoramic views of Mt. Akagi and the surrounding landscape. The mountain is accessible from Numata IC via a 30-minute car ride or a 45-minute bus ride from Numata Station on the Joetsu Line. Note that the trail can be overgrown with bamboo grass, so long sleeves are recommended to avoid ticks. The best time to visit is during the rhododendron blooming season.
