snowy Mt. Gozu ❄️ ⛄️ 🏔️

#timetotravel The Gozu Mountain Range spans the border between Agano City and Aga Town. Starting from the north are Mt. Matsudaira (953.9m), Mt. Gozu (912.5m) and Mt. Hishigatake (973.5m); Mt. Houshu and a mass of mountains come next, the mountains going down to the Agano River. The name Mt. Gozu comes from the five ridges. Koubou Daishi founded a temple on this mountain about 1,200 years ago. People of all ages can easily enjoy hiking here. Routes vary from gentle ones for children to advanced ones for experienced hikers. The height of 912.5m may seem low, but Gozu Hot Spring Resort, one of the starting points, is only at about 70m. If you start climbing from here it will be over 800m to the top. Hiking can start at the front, back, right and left. The Gozu Mountain Range is very appealing because you can choose the course freely according to age, strength and purpose. Mountain experts say that Mt. Gozu is the most suitable for exercise because it is moderately low and moderately steep. Mt. Gozu is a beautiful mountain that provides many courses for hikers.
