One problem is where we shall park the car, which would hesitate our party (laugh). It's a really good day trip. One of my favorite day trips where you don't use a lift to gain most of the elevation. On spring snow which we didn't have you can be on the summit in 3-4 hours. Park the car at the onsen SnowConnection They don't mind so much as long as you have an onsen after. I'm not sure of the onsen's name. It's on the Nagano side of the Abo Pass. We could have driven our cars to the actual trail head as well which is just a couple minutes further up the road Link to post Share on other sites
SnowConnection 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks Toque, I read another reports. You must park at Nakanoyu Onsen. Some park at small space (usually full) near to Kama tunnel. Some park at Sakamaki Onsen. I suppose Nakanoyu is the best. This TR tells how to save 20 min walk in Kama tunnel. http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~tatsuno/sub2-2005-yakedake.html 1. Make three their own cars park at Nakanoyu onsen. 2. Call a taxi from Sawando. 3. Ride on the taxi at Nakanoyu. 4. Get off from the taxi at Kamikochi side of Kama tunnel. Oh, tough works !

mattlucas 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I've never done Yakedake from the Kamikochi side I don't think it would be as beautiful as the trees look very tight because they are all second growth from after the erruption a few decades back I've always gone from the summer road (Route 158) going over Abo pass. That's the old highway before they put in the Abo tunnel going through Yakedake. There is a large parking area at the Trail Head. Probably for 10 cars. It's just a few minutes past the onsen Link to post Share on other sites
