Shimagareyama (縞枯山) is famous for the Shimagare phenomenon. (Shimagare is a phenomenon in which subalpine coniferous forests die in bands that move slowly toward the summit of the mountain.)

Mountain Climbing Experience
I wanted to climb a mountain that wasn’t too hard, so here I am! I wanted to climb a mountain that wasn’t too hard, so here I am! You can climb up to about 2,000m at a time, so it takes less than 2 hours to get to the top, which is a good amount of time for a fun climb! It is very easy to climb with few steep parts, so even beginners can do it (there were many older people there…)! (There were many elderly people there!) You can enjoy the world of moss while climbing, even if you can’t see the view from the top. And the view from the top is spectacular, like a green carpet!
