Trail description
After going through the foreat for a bit youll pass some shops and a small waterfall. The trail has a couple of small climbing sections, the rocks have an interesting color and you'll have nice views of the whole Kobe/Osaka bay area.
It takes about 3h to the top and you can have a nice break at the restaurant up there. After stopping by the peak head back down to Arima Onsen.
Since there are a lot of trails on the mountain it’s best to download the offline map from yamap to avoid getting lost.

Great little Shokudo for lunch before going down. Its about 20min walk from the peak.
