[Saitama] Mt. Hodo - hiking to enjoy nature and history

🔥Recommended points
Mt. Hodo is attractive for its hiking trails rich in nature and the beautiful views from the summit. It's a popular spot for families too!
📝Travel record
There is also a shrine at the foot of the mountain, where we prayed for a safe climb before starting the hike! The hiking trail was at a level that even a beginner like me could feel at ease with.
The view from the summit was amazing!
We had some ice cream before getting on the ropeway on the way back, and it became a fun weekend memory.

Baodeng wintersweet garden
Baodeng Mountain Wintersweet Garden is a resort for appreciating wintersweet flowers. There are about 800 plum blossom trees planted in the park. Every year from early February to the end of March, wintersweet flowers bloom. When you climb to the top of Baodeng Mountain, you can see a large sea of yellow wintersweet flowers. The beautiful scenery is very dreamy. Unfortunately, I went at the wrong time of year, so I could only see bare wintersweet branches, which was a pity😕😕😕😕
However, the scenery at the top of Hododen Mountain is very good and the view is broad. In addition to the cable car to the top, you can also hike up the mountain. The round trip from Nagatoro Station takes about 3 hours😎The air along the way is fresh, and if you meet the right time, you can also enjoy the flowers along the way! 😆😆😆😆😆

Sea of Clouds Resort ☁️ Baodeng Mountain
Nagatoro is very close to Tokyo, making it perfect for a day trip. Hohoden Mountain is the most famous scenic spot in Nagatoro. In addition to being a popular spot for viewing red leaves, it is also a great place to enjoy the sunrise, sea of clouds and sunset!
Baodeng Mountain is 497 meters above sea level. In addition to walking, you can also choose to take the cable car. It takes about 5 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. ⛰️ I came to Baodian Mountain this day. The weather was average and it was drizzling, but I was surprised to see It’s very dreamy to see the sea of clouds over the mountains and forests. The air in the mountains is so fresh and relaxing! 🤩

I went to Mt. Hodo in Nagatoro, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture ✨ When I took the ropeway to the top of the mountain, I was greeted by wintersweet and plum blossoms, which are in full bloom right now 🚠
The yellow wintersweet and the pink and white plum blossoms were beautiful and it was a wonderful place 💓 Mt. Hodo is said to be one of the largest wintersweet gardens in the Kanto region!
About 3,000 wintersweet trees are planted on a site of about 15,000 m2 😳
The flowering season is from late December to early March! Also, at Mt. Hodo's Ume Hyakukaen Garden,
about 470 plum trees of 170 varieties are planted 🌸
The best time to see them is from early February to late March! At this time of year, both wintersweet and plum blossoms are in bloom, so it's recommended to see both🙌

[Nagatoro scenic spot] Mount Hodo, accessible by ropeway
Mt. Hodo is a scenic spot located in Nagatoro Town, Saitama Prefecture. There are hiking trails, but this time I took the ropeway. It takes about 20 minutes on foot from Nagatoro Station to reach the ropeway station, Hodosan Rei Station. It takes 5 minutes by ropeway to Hodosancho Station. When you get off the station, you can see the magnificent view of the Chichibu mountain range, including Mt. Buko and Mt. Ryokami. Mt. Hodo is also home to Hodosan Shrine, which has been awarded one star by the Michelin Green Guide Japan. The main hall of Hodosan Shrine is located at the bottom of the mountain, and the Okumiya Shrine is located at the summit of Mt. Hodosan [497m]. It takes about 6 minutes to walk from the ropeway to the summit of Mt. Hodo. It was very relaxing and I received a lot of power from nature. Please visit it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍 〒369-1305 Nagatoro, Nagatoro-machi, Chichibu-gun, Saitama Prefecture #besttrip2023 #Saitama #Nagatoro #MountainHodosan #Hiking #Mountaineering #Mountain #Powerspot #Breathtakingview #Ropeway #Daytrip #Japan
