2025 Ogano Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

[Bouldering facility: Kamiyakan] Ogano Town, Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture Kamiyakan is one of the famous places in Ogano Town, which is promoting the town through rock climbing. It was originally built to commemorate friendship with Shanxi Province, China, and opened as a bouldering facility in 2020. This facility is free for town residents, but even for those outside the town, it costs 800 yen per day for adults, which is much more cost-effective than the city center. Climbing shoes are available for rental, so you just need to wear something you can exercise in and enjoy it empty-handed at a low cost. There is also a kids' space where you can play with your children, so it is a safe place for families with children. Ogano Town has a place called Futagoyama, which is perfect for rock climbing, so you may meet famous rock climbers who come to practice at Kamiyakan. #Spring trip #A trip to enjoy spring #Saitama #Chichibu #bouldering #trip with kids

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Saitama Prefecture𓂃 𓈒𓏸Chichibu Onouchi Valley Icicles I thought, "There's a place like this that you can go to from Tokyo for a day trip...!", so I went to the Onouchi Valley Icicles, one of the three major icicles in Chichibu, which I've always wanted to visit. In fact, this is an artificial icicle created by laying a pipe 500m from the Onouchizawa River, which originates from Mt. Ryokami. It's a dynamic location, with a circumference of about 250m and a height of 60m. I thought it would be very cold, so I dressed very warmly, but although there was snow here and there on the roadside, it was a spot that I could go to with much lighter clothing than I expected😂👍 However, the altitude is quite high, and it's still cold, so it's better to dress warmly◎ It's nice to be able to see the icicles easily without having to drive on snowy or icy roads! As you can see, there is a suspension bridge, but it sways a lot just when people walk on it 🫨🫨w The ticket also came with a free amazake voucher, which is great for a cold body (it's sake lees amazake, so I can't drink it 😭〰️) It's over for this year, but it seems to be lit up on weekends, so I'd like to go again someday 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website Environmental improvement contribution ¥500 From the official website of 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 2025/1/12-2/24 8:00-16:00 From the official website of 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 996-1 Kawarasawa, Ogano-machi, Chichibu-gun, Saitama Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #saitamaprefecture #chichibu

Mount Ryogami is located on the border between Ogano Town and Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture. It is situated in the northern part of the Okuchichibu mountain range and has an elevation of 1,723 meters. It is one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. The most common route to the summit of Mount Ryogami starts from the Hyuga Otani trailhead, also known as the 'Omote Trail' or 'Omotesando.' First, you enter from the Hyuga Otani trailhead and walk along a gentle path to Kaisho. Along the way, you can see statues of Kannon, experiencing the history of mountain worship. About 30 minutes from Kaisho, you will reach the unmanned Kiyomi Hut. From here, the trail becomes steeper with many chains, so proceed with caution. After climbing the chains and continuing further, you will arrive at Ryogami Shrine. From Ryogami Shrine, the trail becomes gentle again, and after climbing the final chains before the summit, you will reach the top of Mount Ryogami. This route is popular because it offers a mix of gentle paths and steep climbs with chains, providing the enjoyment of hiking.
