安達太良山
Adatarayama
1.700 m
- Mar 2012
From 奥岳 Okudake (940m) I took the Adatara Express あだたらエクスプレス Ropeway. Smoothly I climbed Adatarasan. The weather was very nice and there was lots of fresh snow.
Many people hiked on this beautiful day, with snow shoes or ski. Except at Fuji-san, I never meet so many foreigners on a mountain-hike. Wondering how it comes that this mountain attracted them?
After I enjoyed the view from the top, I skied down a beautiful valley and took a bath in くろがま小屋 温泉。 It is the closest onsen to the volcano; water comes from natural spring and has a strong smell.

I was offered some cheese, noodles and Kaki-fruits. It was very delicious and an unforgettable experience.
From the onsen it takes about 1-2 hours back to the parking area.
It was a beautiful tour which is easy to go, good for beginners and offers besides a beautiful mountain-view great onsen experience. With snow shoes this tour might take 2 hours longer but with normal condition it can easily be walked as a one day tour.
