Timeline
09:00
Start the hike from the trailhead by the road. The climb to the summit takes about an hour, so begin early to enjoy the fresh air and the view of Mount Daisen to the west and the Seto Inland Sea to the south on a clear day.
10:15
Descend and head to Ogaya Shibazakura Park. This popular spot is best visited during the day to see the shibazakura (moss phlox) in full bloom, especially if you are visiting around Golden Week.
11:15
Take your time wandering the park grounds. Since there are no food shops listed nearby, bring your own snacks or drinks to enjoy while you rest among the flowers.
