[2025 Nihonmatsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Adatara (Updated Apr)

Mt. Adatara, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains, is located in Fukushima Prefecture. It is a mountain with an altitude of 1,700m, but you can take the ropeway to a height of 1,350m, and then walk for 5 minutes to reach Yakushidake Panorama Park, where the summit of Mt. Yakushi is right in front of you. A shrine and a hanging bell are enshrined at the summit. The view of the Adatara mountain range from the summit of Mt. Yakushi is also a spectacular view, but if you come this far, we recommend aiming for the summit of Mt. Adatara. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours from the summit of Mt. Yakushi. (However, it is dangerous if you do not have proper equipment such as trekking shoes.) The autumn world of Mt. Adatara is also said to be as beautiful as Mt. Kurikoma, which is famous for having the best autumn leaves in Japan. The world below was blue, but the autumn leaves near the summit were magnificent. Rarely found at such a high altitude, there were fields of silver grass instead of alpine plants. The summit of Mt. Adatara is also known as Mt. Chichikubiyama (Chichikubiyama) lol. When I visited, the fog was so thick that I couldn't see much, but when it's clear, you can see Mt. Bandai, the Iide mountain range, the Zao mountain range, and more. When descending, it is more interesting to descend from the Okudake area if you have time and energy, rather than taking the ropeway. However, after it rains, it gets muddy, and the muddy roads and rocks are slippery, so be careful. After descending, it is customary to wash off the sweat at "Okudake no Yu" (650 yen for adults) located right in front of the ropeway station. (Although I didn't have time, I skipped it...) Even beginners can easily climb it, so it's recommended for climbing to see the autumn leaves! #tripdomestictravel #FukushimaPrefecture #breathtakingview #autumnleaves #climbing

I visited 【Adatara Kogen Ippuku】. They practice beekeeping, so you can taste and buy delicious honey. They also sell gelato with unique flavors like salted milk, home-grown holy basil, neem, shiso, yuzu, and ginger. They all looked so delicious that we ordered a variety. The gelato is topped with their home-harvested honey, making it shiny and beautiful. There are also tree houses and saunas. It's a spot where you can fully enjoy nature in the forest.

At the foot of Mount Adatara in Fukushima Prefecture, there is an adorable cheesecake shop. It has received rave reviews with comments like, 'I've never had such delicious cheesecake!' They offer 8 to 10 types of cheesecakes, as well as puddings and cookies made with locally sourced milk, and other baked goods. In the cafe, you can order delicious drinks like coffee to enjoy with your cake. The interior and decorations are also carefully designed, creating a very cute space. I bought some baked goods and pudding as souvenirs. They were so cute and well-received.

Mt. Adatara is one of Japan's 100 famous mountains, located in Fukushima Prefecture. During the autumn foliage season, the entire mountain surface is dyed red and yellow, creating a breathtaking view. This time, we aimed to reach the summit of Mt. Adatara via Mt. Yakushi. In addition to the mountain trail, you can also reach Mt. Adatara by taking the Adatara Mountain Ropeway, which takes about 10 minutes to the summit station. From the summit station, it takes about 75 minutes to reach the summit. Below the ropeway, you can see the cityscape from Koriyama City to Fukushima City, the Abukuma mountain range, the Zao mountain range in the distance, and the spectacular view of Mt. Azuma Kofuji. You can also reach Mt. Yakushi by walking about 5 minutes from the ropeway summit station. It was a weekday afternoon, but the autumn leaves were at their peak, so it was crowded. This time, the ropeway was out of service due to strong winds, so we walked about 1 hour and 20 minutes on the mountain trail from the Okudake trailhead, passed Mt. Yakushi, and then took another 80 minutes to reach the summit of Mt. Adatara. The ropeway was running on the way down, so I used it. Even I, a beginner at mountain climbing, was able to go. There was a strong wind at the top of the mountain, but I was simply moved by the spectacular autumn leaves. Please visit it at least once. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍 Mt.

Jododaira is a highland on the highest mountain of Mt. Adara, which is ranked as one of the top 10 most beautiful mountains in Japan. You will see smoke rising from the crater along with the view of Mt. Finpun. It is even better when the leaves are not falling and it is a bit cold. The weather is good. During the winter, when it snows, the road will be closed and you cannot go up to the top. You will find the crater of Mt. Azuma Kofuji, which is 500 meters in diameter. It is a highlight that you cannot miss. It takes about 1 hour to walk around and see the unique view that can only be seen here. #TravelJapanByYourself #Japan

#timetotravel The summit of Mt. Adatara stands at an altitude of 1700 m, stretching about 9 kilometers in a north-to-south direction. Views of Mt. Adatara are lovely in and of themselves, but the views that visitors have of the surrounding area once they reach the summit are breathtaking. Chosen as one of Japan’s top 100 mountains, as well as one of the top 100 mountains for flowers, a view spot at an altitude of 1300 m can be accessed by gondola lift. This means that it is relatively easy to climb even for beginners.
