Hike Sannoto 三ノ塔 (Hard for Beginners)

Hiking course of ~7 to 7.5 hours, which includes time for lunch and breaks.

Here's the rough schedule:
8:30 - Meet at Hadano station 2nd floor outside ticket gate.
8:35 - Bus to Minoge (Don’t be late, next bus is 9:04 and it will be crowded with people going to Yabitsutoge)
9:00 - Minoge Bus Stop 312m elevation. Start hiking from here.
10:30 - Yabitsutoge Bus Stop 765m
12:30 - Ninoto peak 1141m
13:00 - Sannoto peak 1204m; late lunch b/c view is better
14:00 - Karasuosan 1136m
16:30 - Okura bus stop 286m
16:45 - Hadano station (I don’t know the bus schedule but there are usually many buses)

It is a long hike so beginner hikers might find this hard or very hard. Experienced hikers might find this to be medium or medium-hard. If it is a clear day, we will get a great view of Fujisan the entire way from Ninoto to Karasuosan. It is one of my favorite hiking trails because of this.

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.
