[2025 Maebashi Attraction] Travel Guide for Akagiyama (Updated Jun)

#2024 Travel Review **Akagi Mountain (Akagi Mountain)** The happiest part of 2024 was going to Gunma! Mount Akagi is a beautiful volcano and the natural scenery here is spectacular, especially suitable for hiking. The greenery in summer and the autumn leaves make this a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Enjoy the magnificent views from the top of the mountain after the climb and let you feel the power of nature. It is really a great place to relax.

Mount Akagi is a famous mountain that is counted among the 100 famous mountains of Japan and the 100 famous mountains of the Kanto region. The highest peak is Mount Kurohiyama at 1,828m⛰️ Mount Akagi is the name of one large volcanic body, and there is no peak with the same name. It consists of Mount Komagatake, Mount Jizo, Mount Choshichiro, etc.🙌 There are swan boats and rowing boats, and there are many restaurants on the lakeside, so I think it's a place where you can enjoy sightseeing even though it's in the mountains😊 You can enjoy the autumn leaves from late October to early November🍁 You can do everything from hiking to full-scale mountain climbing, so it's a recommended place for both sightseeing and mountain climbing! #Mount Akagi #Gunma sightseeing #Gunma trip #trip domestic travel
