  • This is one of Tohoku's most sacred mountain hikes, designated a national scenic spot, selected as one of Fukushima Prefecture's "100 Famous Mountains" by Junko Tabei, and also hiked by Rui Yoshida on the NHK program "100 Low Mountains of Japan." Mount Ryōzen was opened in 859 by Jikaku Daishi and named after Mount Gridhrakuta, where Buddha practiced asceticism. During the Nanboku-chō period, Kitabatake Akiie built Ryōzen Castle as his base in Ōshū, and the story of that time is depicted in the popular manga "The Young Lord Who's Good at Running Away," with a second anime season airing in July 2026. The route features numerous unusual rock formations and many viewpoints offering spectacular views of the rocky mountains, making for an enjoyable and engaging hike. Starting from the trailhead parking lot, you'll visit several scenic viewpoints, take a break at the Ryōzen Castle ruins, and then head towards the highest peak at an altitude of 825m. This hike covers approximately 5km with an elevation difference of 314m, walking along a circular mountain trail back to the starting point parking lot. <Schedule for the day> 1. Meet at JR Fukushima Station East Exit (7:45/11:45) Your guide will be waiting for you next to the Green Window at the East Exit of JR Fukushima Station. Please inform your guide that you have a reservation when you arrive. They will explain the confirmation and precautions. 2. Travel by guide's vehicle (8:00/12:00) You will travel from JR Fukushima Station to the Reizan trailhead parking lot in the guide's vehicle. It is about a 1-hour drive. 3. Start of hike (9:00/13:00) After arriving at the trailhead parking lot, prepare and set off on your hike! You will slowly ascend the mountain trail where sunlight filters through the trees. ~ You will soon arrive at Hojudai/Mishita-iwa (700m), where you can see a spectacular view. This is a challenging point where you will climb a ladder. 1. Walk along the well-maintained mountain trail, enjoying numerous strangely shaped rocks and peaks, to Gomadan (760m), a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Azuma mountain range. 2. Take a break at the site of Reizan Castle, built by Kitabatake Akiie. 3. From Higashi-Momimiwa (825m), the highest peak of Reizan, you can see the Pacific Ocean beyond the Abukuma Mountains if conditions are good. 4. Descent (12:30/16:30) Enjoy the ever-changing scenery from the highest peak as you return to the trailhead parking lot, concluding your hike. 5. Dismissal (13:30/17:30) From the trailhead parking lot, ride in the guide's vehicle to JR Fukushima Station before dismissal. Thank you for your participation! *Times are approximate. May change depending on weather conditions on the day.
