Mount Omuro

Even in Inclement Weather, It’s Still A Great Experience

On my visit to the mountain (I thought it was more of a hill, but apparently it’s a dormant volcano) the area was covered in dense fog. It gave it a bit of a mysterious feel that I enjoyed and it prevented the attraction from getting crowded on the pathways. I enjoyed this part as, walking around at the top, you would see silhouettes of monk statues in the distance as cheerful music from a nearby zoo played in the background. I was told that it is incredibly busy on clear days, with barely any room for yourself. Lines for the refreshments would probably be much longer because of that. On the flipside, the view of the surrounding area would be great as you could see everything. Not that I would know. I still prefer the foggy version, but perhaps more people would enjoy coming up the lifts on a clear day, so to be objective, I gave the place a rating of 3/5.
