Hinata Yakushi Nature Hike
Tread the forest road from Kotakuji Hot Spring, view the grand waterfalls in Ogama Benzaiten, and enter the mountain path afterward. You will go through the winding paths along the mountain ridge, and head to Mt. Hinata (404 meter altitude / 1,325 feet), whose skirt houses the famous Hinatasushi. Head to the forest trail to find Nanasawa Outlook, and walk a little more to reach Nanasawa Hot Spring. The mountain path is slightly narrow, but once you get to the peak, you will get to see a panoramic view of Shinjuku Subcenter as well as the Boso Peninsula on clear days. Near the course is Nameri-iwa, where you can enjoy rock-climbing, as well as Kanon-ji temple on Mt. Muranaka. There are some steep slopes, but the hiking course is mostly suitable for children too.
