However, this requires driving along a logging road from Shibu Onsen to Jigokudani, which is narrow and necessitates challenging maneuvers when oncoming vehicles appear. Large vehicles cannot use this route, and the route is completely closed in the winter.

Yumichi Natural Trail

The Yumichi Natural Trail from Kanbayashi Hot Springs to Jigokudani is mostly flat save for a few hilly sections. From Kanbayashi Hot Springs to Jigokudani, it is about 2 km which takes about 30 minutes to traverse on foot.
In addition to providing access to Jigokudani, this trail has long served as a route for procuring water to use in agriculture and hot springs within villages at the mountain’s base. Therefore, it has been carefully maintained over the years.
It is common to encounter Japanese serow, squirrels and other animals along this trail. We hope you will savor the sounds of birdcalls and the fresh woodland air while enjoying your hike.

Note: Due to the nature of the trail’s location and topography, some sections are unpaved, feature stairs and uneven surfaces, and include hills. As a result, this trail does not accommodate wheelchairs, carts and similar. We apologize for the inconvenience.
