The Mystery of this Tiny Japanese Hot Spring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Semi Onsen is a tiny little Onsen, hot spring resort, in Mogami Town, Yamagata Prefecture in the northern Tohoku region of Japan. The Onsen is basically one street with towering Ryokan either side of it, most of which are currently out of business.
Which is a shame, because besides the awesome family-run hotels, there is a really fun mountain to explore right next door; Kamewari-yama. Kamewari-yama has a long history as a main stop by Yoshitsune and his troop from the famous Gikeiki, The Chronicles of Yoshitsune.
Join Tim Bunting The Kiwi Yamabushi as he explores the origins of Semi Onsen, and discovers its legendary past.
Kamewari-yama (亀割山かめわりやま) is a 594m (1948 ft.) peak in the Mogami region of Yamagata prefecture best climbed from June to October. Kamewari-yama is a level 1 in terms of physical demand, which means it is easy to hike, has an A technical grade, which means it requires little expertise, and you want to allow at least 3 hours for a climb.
