Mt. Kammuinupuri Hiking Tour
Tour Overview
Hike to see the best ocean view in Noboribetsu!
Kamuinupuri, which means ‘God mountain’ in Ainu language, is a striking mountain near Noboribetsu. At 746m high, this mountain overlooks Noboribetsu and the Pacific Ocean to one side, and Mt. Muroran and Muroran city to the other.
This tour starts by driving from Noboribetsu to the start point which is located up a dirt track in the forests near Horobetsu dam. We then begin our gradual climb until we reach a mountain hut. From there it begins to get steeper with some sections using a rope. It then levels out as we walk along the ridgeline up to the summit. At the summit we will have a rest, enjoy the fantastic views and then head back down the same way.
