​Otowayama sits between Kyoto and Shiga, offering its beautiful views as a reward for a fairly steep hike up the mountain. So if you're up for the challenge, join us for this year's OKTech hike!

​Note: this hike climbs up to 593m of altitude, so make sure you are comfortable with the physical effort involved!

​Along the way we'll stroll by streams and waterfalls, walk past oni and dragon statues, and arrive at Hogon-ji before walking back down on the other side of the mountain.

  • ​9:30: meet up at Oiwake station.

  • ​12:30: arrive at Hogon-ji

  • ​16:00: option to finish hike at Otani station.

  • ​17:00: optionally keep walking all the way to Otsu station.

  • ​17:00+: walk around, have dinner, etc. in Otsu.

​What to bring:

  • ​Enough water for the day

  • ​Lunch + food for the day (energy bars, dried fruits, etc.)

  • ​Insect repellent

  • ​Sunscreen

  • ​Light jacket

  • ​Comfortable shoes

​大和山は京都と滋賀の間に位置しており、急な坂を登り切った先には美しい景色が待っています。挑戦する意欲のある方、ぜひ今年の OKTech ハイキングに参加しませんか!

​【注意】このコースは標高約593mまで登ります。体力的には問題ないか、事前に確認をお願いします。

​道中では清流や滝のほとりを散策したり、鬼や龍の像の横を通り抜けたりしながら進み、鳳源寺に到着した後、山を反対側へと下りていきます。

​持ち物:

  • ​その日のための十分な水

  • ​昼食および軽食(エナジーバー、ドライフルーツなど)

  • ​虫除け

  • ​日焼け止め

  • ​薄手のジャケット

  • ​歩きやすい靴
