Plan this hike

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

This return hike follows the forest and stream from the Sumomo trailhead, passes the torii of Shiratake Shrine, and climbs to Mount Shiratake’s exposed white quartz-porphyry summit. The route crosses a nationally protected primeval forest where continental and Japanese plants coexist, then opens to a rocky panorama over Aso Bay and the mountains of Tsushima.
