Hikers on Mount Nokabe should watch for the spring cherry blossom meadows and summer sea-of-clouds vistas along the well-maintained wooden trails. Scattered throughout are small mountain shrines where locals perform traditional prayers—visitors are welcome to join in the quiet ritual. Natural spring sources are available en route, making it easy to refill water bottles. Always carry light snacks and hydration supplies for the journey.
Take the local bus line 35 from Tsuruga Station, getting off at the "Mount Nokabe Trailhead" stop—just a 25-minute ride with frequent departures and scenic views of rural farmland. For greater flexibility, rent an electric bicycle and follow Prefectural Road 178 to the base of the mountain, a gentle 40-minute ride through peaceful countryside. From there, begin your hike directly without additional transfers.
