Komono, Mie, Japan: Mt. Gozaisho


Mount Gozaisho in Komono, Mie, offer views of Yokkaichi and Ise Bay.

I was looking for a quick hike option on this trip and found Mt. Gozaisho. From Tsu station, I took a local train.


Get-off at Yunoyama Onsen Station, then switch to bus.  Go to along the winding road heading to Gozaisho Ropeway.  


Roud-trip rate for adult was ~2600 yen (~1000 php).  Ride time is about 15 minutes, and they allowed me to be in the cabin alone. 


You can see some onsen hotel from above. One of the towers is at 504m above see level. 



Good mountain views. 


Upon arrival at the top, I headed to the restaurant, got some brunch with very beautiful view at the corner table. 




There are a lot of activities available at the top.  Several lookout point or observation deck, different mountain trails and sightseeing lifts. 


After brunch, I started heading to one of the mountain trails. 



If you have the energy and the opportunity, go out and enjoy forest bathing. 


Always be careful in mountain trips and hiking activities. 


Have your photo at the 1212m above sea level photo-spot. 


Before leaving the mountain, I got some red bean matcha and hot tea. 


It's a wonderful opportunity to visit the mountain during summer.  Also be advised that this is also an option to see snow caps during winter season.
