Go on a “Solo” Trip by TSUKUBA EXPRESS!
“Solo” Climbing on Mount Tsukuba
Located only about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Akihabara, Mount Tsukuba, one of One Hundred Famous Japanese Mountains, has double peaks, Nyotai-san and Nantai-san, which make the mountain the lowest among the 100 famous mountains, allowing for easy climbing on a day trip. The mountain offers picturesque scenery with seasonal flowers and colored leaves in autumn, including about 1,000 hydrangea plants on the hillsides gorgeously blossoming in June. Referred to as a counterpart of Mount Fuji as in the phrase, “Fuji in the west, Tsukuba in the east,” from ancient times the whole mountain has been worshipped as the sacred body of a god in Japan’s ancient mountain worship. An old shrine on the hillside with about 3,000 years of history, Tsukubasan-jinja Shrine, enshrines a divine couple; therefore, it is said that the shrine will bring romance. Even if you visit the shrine alone, it might bring you good luck in romance!
