Compared to Hiiji-dake in the kujyu Mountains, where insects are currently swarming and it is difficult to get into full bloom, Mt Hane is steadily popular for its Miyamakirishima flowers, which bloom every year. However, it has become so popular every year that whenever you go during the season, it is always full of cars and people. So, for the past two years, we have been climbing at different times. This is a trick that can only be done during this time of year when the days are the longest. We start climbing in the evening, when almost all the climbers are starting to go home. Then, at 4:30 pm, we can enjoy the flower fields that are completely empty. It’s a truly luxurious and happy experience of occupying time and space. Please give it a try!
