Trail reviews for Daisetsuzan National Park
Definitely would’ve been much easier with hiking sticks. A lot of loose rocks which made going down quite hard, slipped and fell on my butt a few times. It gets quite steep closer to the top. Fantastic views of the Daisetsuzan national park though! A hiker had gotten injured on the way down, but mountain rescue came and airlifted the injured person to safety. Someone told us to stop, take cover and wait while the helicopter worked on getting close enough, so we got to watch the whole thing. It was incredible to witness!
