Hike Kuratakeyama 倉岳山 (Hard for Beginners)

Hiking course of ~6 hours, which includes time for lunch and breaks.

Here's the rough schedule:
9:20 - Meet at Yanagawa station outside ticket gate. There is NO convenience store here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7o1h5RdPBqskwfp16?g_st=ic
12:00 - Kuratakeyama peak and lunch
15:30 - Torisawa station

Elevation change of ~700m (ups and downs will make it ~900m of hiking up) and it will be a steep hike up so less experienced hikers might find this hard. Experienced hikers might find this to be medium or medium-hard. We did this hike last time in early July when it was hot so it should be easier this time of year. This hike is back because it was so enjoyable.

Notes:

• No smoking and no bear bell(s).
• I have no survival or first aid skills and you are in charge of your own safety.
• Bring ~1.5L of water/soft drink and a lunch. Bring more water if you think you will need it.
• Weather can change unexpectedly, so dress in layers.
• You will get sweaty, so I recommend a towel.
• No meetup fee thanks to Liliya (group owner).
• If the weather forecast looks bad, I will cancel the hike.
