At r6.10/9From the Kunimi route to hereThe autumn leaves are still beautifulThe rhododendron course is a bit of a steep climb and the view is poor, but it leads all the way to Yakimori.The new road is gentle and beautiful with views of the mountains.I wonder if the old road is still collapsing...?The 8th station hut is open on weekdays, but it's autumn leaves season, so the parking lot is full.There were toilets and a shop.It’s a little cold when you climb Mt. Yokodake and Mt. Odake.Everywhere has a sense of unexplored territory, but the feeling of the Alps in Moominvalley and the moss-covered feeling of Mt. Onna (a place where volcanic gas is blowing?) is wonderful.Good point

Visited as the starting point for climbing Mt. Komagatake, Akita. Thank goodness there is a flush toilet 🙏😆The prefectural road leading to this point will be closed to general vehicles from 5:30 in the morning until the evening. During this time, a connecting bus will be in operation.Visited in September 2020

It is designed not to be used except in emergencies. Since it is not a scenic spot, I think it will be mainly used during the winter.
