Good mountains to camp on in Japan

Upvote:2

I think the most important thing to take in consideration when picking a place to hike/camp is hot spring access. After a long day's hike, nothing beats a relaxing dip in a hot spring.

There's a lot more places to consider, but here are some to get you started:

The Miyagi prefecture has some great spots like the Naruko spa area. The Naruko hot springs is said to have various healing properties. Lake Katanuma is a good place to consider for hiking, especially in the fall. Here's a list of campgrounds in the area.

There's also Mt. Zaou, located on the Yamagata-Miyagi prefectural border and one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Zaou is most famous for its "snow monsters." There's a lot to do and see in Zaou, depending on the season, you can go horseback riding, paragliding, or skiing. At the peak there's Okama Crater Lake (a.k.a. Goshikinuma, "five-color marsh"), whose water changes color hourly. Here's a list of campgrounds in the area.
