[Mount Chokai (Akita/Yamagata)]

Located on the border between Yamagata and Akita prefectures, it faces the Sea of ​​Japan and has an elevation of 2,236 meters! It's rare to find a mountain facing the sea✨ One of the mountains in Tohoku, also known as "Dewa Fuji"! If it's clear, you can see the Sea of ​​Japan from the Hokotate Observatory at the 5th station! I climbed up to the 7th station! At the relay point on the trail, 7th station Mihama, at an elevation of 1,700 meters, there is Lake Chokai, and the scenery is incredibly beautiful! There are lots of cute flowers blooming on Mt. Chokai, such as Chokai thistle and Chokai bran! It was fun climbing while looking at the flowers! I was nervous because it was my first time climbing, but I was really grateful that they taught me how to breathe and adjusted my walking speed to suit me😭 ⚠︎ The parking lot was full even at 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday💦 I couldn't find a spot that was open, even when parking on the street💦 Please go and check it out! #Mount Chokai #Mountain climbing #Lake Chokai #Nikaho City #Kisagata #Akita #Akita trip #Nature and spectacular views
