戸来岳（三ツ岳）山頂

It takes some physical strength to climb Mitsudake, the highest peak of Mt. Torai. Currently, there is only Hirakozawa, which is practically the same as Mt. Okomagatake (unless you are prepared to traverse the long narrow forest road from Oishigami to Usadaira), so I climbed Mt. If you want to aim for Mt. Tsudake, you can go down a steep slope for 150m from Mt. Okomagatake at 1144m to the saddle (about 990m) with Mt. Mitsudake, and climb 160m straight to the summit of Mt. Mitsudake at 1159m. If that is the case, I will have to make a 160m descent and a 150m rapid climb on my way home. Many people will be disappointed just by imagining it, and will be satisfied and turn back at the summit of Mt. Okomagatake. When I was fine, I had another move. It is a method of descending along the outer ring of Lake Towada and aiming for Mt. In this case, the climb back is about 60m and the slope is gentle. If you go over Mt. Towada and descend along the outer ring of Lake Towada, you will reach the saddle with Mt. Towari, which is also a corner of the outer ring of Lake Towada. This is named Akuri Pass. There used to be a mountain road from Torai Village to Utarube on the shores of Lake Towada across this pass. Currently, the road to the Hirakozawa trailhead (Herai Village) remains (probably), but the road to Utarube is closed. In addition, there was once a road from Akuri Pass to Towariyama along the outer ring, but this is probably not left if you look at the situation from Towariyama now. The road from Akuri Pass to Hirakozawa was also a forest road and a work road, and although it was wide and rough for that reason, I was able to return to Hirakozawa in about two hours. The last time I followed this circuit course was about five years ago, when the downhill road from the summit of Mitsudake was almost blocked by Sasa. I had been there many times before, so I got off without hesitation, but I thought it would be bad next year, and I haven't carried out this lap since then. The reason why I feel painful and aim for the summit of Mitsudake is because there is a cherry blossom garden. The saddles of Mt. Okomagatake and Mt. Mitsudake are filled with Minezakura and Viburnum furcatum, slow-sprouting maples (many of which have many honeybees), Betula ermanii, and Viburnum furcatum. Because I have experience with it. There are many variations in the flower color of Minezakura, and it is unforgettable that dark pink, light pink, and white flowers of Viburnum furcatum are mixed and the surrounding area is filled with brilliant green leaves of Minneyanagi. I didn't bring a camera only in such a case, so I don't have a proof photo. Since then, at the end of May every year, I have become accustomed to bring a camera to Mt. Okomagatake, but I have never come across such a scene again. The lesson is "value the once-in-a-lifetime meeting". I also learned about the existence of Murphy's Law.
