Tateshina Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Climbed to the summit of Mount Ryoukou in Japan, one of the 100 famous mountains, during the severe winter season.

Everything we do is a consumption of life. Then why not Do more things that you enjoy 😛 So we're here at the snowy mountain 🤓 Mount Liao Ke, with an altitude of 2531 meters, although classified as a beginner-level snow mountain among Japan's "Hundred Famous Mountains", is still much more difficult than the snow mountains with altitudes of thousands of meters in Kansai. Firstly, the temperature is not on the same level, and the perceived temperature at the mountain top is quite touching 🤩 Fortunately, I came prepared, fully armed, and standing at the mountain top, I can easily withstand the fierce wind 🫣, I am not afraid at all. Liao Keshan Snow Mountain is mostly climbed from the mountaineering entrance on the side of the Goddess Tea House. When the weather is good, the hoarfrost on the forest road is particularly beautiful, so be sure to choose a good day. After leaving the forest road, there is no wind protection from the trees, and the wind is particularly strong. Before leaving the forest road, be sure to stop and add clothes, windproof glasses, face masks, warm gloves, etc. Don't expose your skin to the outside, otherwise the strong wind will hurt your face and skin easily. Near the top of the mountain, there is a very steep slope. Although many experts have climbed it with light claws, there are also people who slip while walking. For safety reasons, heavy claws are more reassuring. After leaving the forest road, the road to the top of the mountain is all large rocks because there is no protection from the trees due to the strong wind, and the snow cannot accumulate. Be sure not to step directly on the rocks with ice claws, as it is easy to slip.
