Access & Drone Info

Access

Difficulty Estimated

moderate

Viewpoints A to D are reached by a stepped path from the Michi-no-Eki Oze Kaido Mishima-juku, about five minutes' walk, free of charge. The steps ice over in winter and the climb is done in the dark before a first-light train — headlamp and traction underfoot are not optional. Bicycle and bus support to the trailhead runs April to late November only; outside that window you need your own vehicle.

Restrictions Apply

Informational only, not legal advice. Rules change quickly — always verify with the managing authority before flying. Airspace authorization and land-owner permission are separate: clearance to use the airspace never grants permission to take off, land, or operate from the ground below it.
