Hozankyo is a beginner’s level shower climbing spot. Though you should wear river shoes to walk in the river, usual running shoes (not flat bottoms) can be used if you don't have ones.

Here’s some info about this route.

Starting from Karatodai station in the Kobe Dentetsu line, we head for Higashiyama-bashi where Hozankyo starts. Walk in the river until it ends, change our shoes, then go back to the starting point through a path along the river.

Some parts of the river is deep enough to swim. So be sure to wear clothes that dry up easily and make your backpack water proof (put everything into a big plastic bag -two layers are recommended- and put it into your backpack).

Walking time is about 5-6 hours. It's not a difficult hike technically, but you need to have a good physical strength to join this hike.

Meeting point and time:
Karatodai station in the Kobe Dentetsu line at 11:00.

Requirements/What to bring:
River shoes or Running shoes
Lunch, water, rain gear, flash light (just in case)

There's a public bath near Karatodai station. If you want to take it after the hike, be prepared.
