Highlights
- From the top of Kuromidake there is a 360° view as you stand near the center of the island at 1815 meters.
- The highlights of this trek are the marsh areas of Hananoego and Kohananoego. There is a great view of Kobandake (often referred to as Tofu Rock).
- Walk over the beautiful clear water of the Yodogawa. You may not see a clearer river in the world.
- The highest mountains on the island (and the highest in southern Japan) stand on the opposite side of the valley.
