Hello, Travel friends.
Today i want to take you to Mount Rishiri.
This photograph was taken over 1,000 metres high in the stunning mountains. The peak of this mountain rises to 1,721 metres. After lots of planning. We decided to embark on this adventure and let me tell you it was absolutely worth it.
Before starting this hike, we made sure to check the weather forecast the day before. Since the tracks are steep and can become slippery with even a bit of rain, climbing the mountain can be quite challenging.
If you decide to take this amazing hike, I definitely recommend bringing some snacks and warm clothes, as it can get cold when strong winds bring in the fog. If you have the chance, I highly recommend taking on this workout; you will never regret it.

We began our hike at Kanro Spring. During the first hour, we ascended to 600 metres. As we started the second hour, the incline became much steeper. By the end of the second hour, we had reached 1,218 metres and were exhausted, so we decided to take a break and have a snack.
Usually, this hike is split into two parts, with an option to camp halfway. However, being fit and young, and planning to leave the same day, we decided to continue our ascent.
After our break, we tackled the hardest part of the hike. As you ascend higher, there are more landslides, and you need to exercise greater caution due to the increased rubble and snow. We reached the summit in about 45 minutes. Looking from the top, we were stunned and speechless by the breathtaking view.
After a short break at the summit, we needed to head down to ensure we finished the trail before sunset at 18:30, as we wanted to avoid any part of the trail in the dark. Later, we began our descent, which took about 3 hours. We soon learned that it usually takes around 6 hours to reach the summit, but, being fit, we managed to reach it in just under 3 hours. The descent took us approximately the same amount of time.
