【六甲山】六甲山最高峰へ！王道コースで！芦屋川駅から有馬へ行ってきました。

For my first mountain climb of 2023, I reached the highest peak of Mt. Rokko. I started from Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station. It was about a 30-minute walk through a residential area to the Rock Garden trailhead and Takaza Falls. First, I headed for Kazebukiiwa, the location of the third pylon. Maybe because it was cold, there were no cats in sight. Next, I headed for Amaga Pass. Along the way, The trail passed by a golf course, and I even saw people enjoying a round of golf♪ It still feels like there's a long way to go to the highest peak. When I arrived at Ikkenchaya, there was a sprinkling of snow❄️The temperature at the summit was about 3°C. After eating cup ramen in the cold, I headed down the Uoyamichi road towards Arima. Arima was bustling with people. Please note that buses to Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station will be suspended for the winter until March 31st. Overall, the trail was very easy to walk on, with some river fording, and it was fun, gentle, and occasionally steep climbs, making it a great hike.

Rokko. Started from Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station. Walked through the residential area for about 30 minutes to the rock garden trailhead and Koza Falls. First, aimed for the location of the third steel tower [Kazefukiiwa]. Is it because it's cold? There was no cat in sight. Next, headed to Amagatoge Pass in the middle. There is a mountain trail next to the golf course, and you can see people enjoying golf. I still have a long way to go to reach the top.
