Thanks for visiting and for commenting....Hi Marta,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for commenting.<br /><br />I actually live in Otaki, just up the mountain from Kiso-fukushima, so I just stayed at my house!<br /><br />Going from the Otaki-side you can start from about 2200 meters (stage 7 of 10), so you can make the climb in 3-5 hours no problem.<br />However, if the weather is going to be good you might consider staying at one of Taintushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700101879034654343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307422765401467501.post-3915206733030112882009-08-14T10:34:48.372-10:002009-08-14T10:34:48.372-10:00What a fantastic experience!

I'm going to Ontakesan next week and I wanted to read some previous climber's recounts, so I googled and I got you!<br />Did you stay in Kiso-Fukushima?<br />How long does the climb take on a good day?<br />Thanks!<br />MartaMartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391274489555334742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307422765401467501.post-32895055055080964012009-07-28T10:28:58.350-10:002009-07-28T10:28:58.350-10:00Many thanks for this post - I've always wonder...Many thanks for this post - I've always wondered what happens at a Yama-biraki ceremony for a famous mountain, and your clear, dramatic account handsomely answers all my questions.

Nothing like a good onsen at the end of a climb like that!Chris (i-cjw.com)http://i-cjw.comnoreply@blogger.com
