What kind of place is “Sekisui Kei”?

Upstream of the Anraku River, a tributary of the Suzuka River that flows through KameyamaCity, Mie Prefecture, there is a valley called Sekisuikei that is full of beautiful natural scenery. The area is characterized by clear streams, and is home to aquatic creatures such as sculpin and salamanders, as well as beautiful blooming rhododendrons. This area is also surrounded by the Suzuka Mountains and is visited by many hikers. The river that flows through the valley is highly transparent, and in the summer it is crowded with tourists who enjoy playing in the river, camping, and enjoying water activities.

Things you should always keep in mind when climbing

Climbing is fraught with danger. Even in low mountains, you never know what could lead to an accident. Please make sure to have a solid climbing plan, prepare in advance, and monitor your physical condition.

《Precautions for climbing》

*Make a reasonable mountain climbing plan in advance! Also, be sure to submit a mountain climbing report to the nearest police station or mountain climbing post before the day of your climb!

*Make sure to take good care of your health and build up your physical strength! Also, if you are not feeling well, please cancel or postpone your mountain climbing.

*Wear clothing and trekking shoes suitable for mountain climbing! Be sure to prepare the necessary water, food, rain gear, cold weather clothing, medicines, and first aid equipment that you will need while climbing.

*Check the weather information just before climbing. If the weather is not good or bad weather is predicted, please cancel the climb.

*We also recommend taking out mountain insurance just in case.

Please follow good manners so you can have a safe and enjoyable mountain climbing!

I climbed Mt. Usuki from Sekisuikei Campsite!

I climbed the round-trip course from Sekisuikei Campsite to Mt. Usuki. We will tell you about the mountain trail and a report from the summit!

[What is Mt. Usuki? ]

It is located in KameyamaCity Mie Prefecture, at the southern end of the Suzuka Mountain Range, and rises alongside Mt. Usukigatake (697m), known as the 7th Mount of Kameyama. The altitude is 630m, but at the top you can enjoy a spectacular view that gives you a sense of altitude. The ``Usu Rock/Kine Rock'' that greets you at the top of the mountain is also a highlight! The mountain trail has some steep spots, narrow cliff paths, and some places where you have to climb over rocky areas. If you are planning to climb a mountain, please check the website and make your plans in advance.

AM6:55 Start climbing from Sekisuikei campsite

7:00 AM Arrive at parking lot

There is a parking lot available for climbing. You can also use the parking lot next to the Sekisuikei campsite for climbing, but if the parking lot is full, please use this parking lot. By the way, the gentle mountain in the center of the photo is Mt. Usuki.

7:05 AM Arrive at the bungalow

There is a toilet near the bungalow. There are no restrooms along the trail up Mt. Usuki, so it's a good idea to take a restroom break here. You can also find a Sekisuikei guide map here. You can check out the famous spots in Sekisuikei!

7:10 AM Onigaga trail entrance

"Note! 》

Currently, this mountain trail to Onigagaa is closed to traffic due to dangerous spots.

If you are planning to climb Onigaga, please use the Funaishi trailhead, which is about a 10-minute walk from here.

AM7:15 Mt. Usuki trailhead

《Danger of bear infestation》

There are reports of bear sightings. When climbing, please take precautions such as wearing a bear bell and be very careful. If you have any sightings or other information, please contact us below.

TEL: 0595-96-8588

The path immediately after climbing from the trailhead is thick with ferns and knee-high trees. Long pants seem to be the best attire.

7:20 AM Walk along the narrow river.

7:30 AM The slope gradually becomes steeper from here.

7:40 AM Arrive at an altitude of approximately 400m. Even the view from here feels quite high.

7:45 AM: The rocks were so rough that I had to climb up.

8:00 AM: Mt. Kamagatake and Mt. Nyudogatake, which are certified as Suzuka Seven Mountains, and field climbing, which is certified as one of Kameyama's 7 mountain peaks, have clearly appeared.

8:05 AM Continue climbing.

8:10 AM Arrive at Usuiwa/Kineiwa and come face to face with the big rocks!

There's only a little more to go from here to the top of the mountain! The ground is smooth sand, so be careful not to slip on sunny days.

8:20 AM Arrive at the summit!

You can see the Shin-Meishin Expressway, the town of Kameyama, and even Ise Bay on clear days. (Unfortunately, the weather that day was cloudy...) By the way, we were able to climb to the top of the mountain in about an hour by following the directions given at the entrance to the mountain trail!

9:30 AM: Arrive at Sekisuikei Campsite along the same route we took on the climb. We had a delicious breakfast!

There were some steep downhills, so I had a hard time descending the mountain. Along the way, there were many narrow paths near cliffs and slippery spots with gravel and dead leaves. If you feel uneasy about your physical strength, don't try to climb up the mountain; instead, go back the way you came.

Introducing the "Sekisuikei Festival", which is holding an event like this!
