Plan this hike

Hiking time is an estimate for an average hiker, without breaks.

From the Happodai trailhead on the border of Bandai and Kitashiobara, this return climbs a fairly broad path to the 1,404 m Mount Nekoma with its first-order triangulation point and continues west to the Neko-ishi rock. Part of the rim of a caldera formed by the Nekoma volcano and named, legend says, for a shape-shifting cat, it looks from Neko-ishi over Oguni Marsh, Mount Bandai, Lake Inawashiro and the Urabandai lakes.
