Kurofu Hiking 2007


Join us for an exciting and memorable hike on Mt. Kurofu, 2250m (next to Mt. Asama). Experience the breathtaking view of Mt. Asama, Gunma and Komoro! The hike is about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, and a regular climb. Pack your lunch and bring your own drink. Hat, sunscreen, T-shirt, wet tissues, and toilet paper recommended.
