Hiking Through the Battlefield of the Sengoku Era: Mt. Shizugatake Hike

Grading: 

In the turbulent Sengoku era, Shibata Katsuie stood firm as Oda Nobunaga's unwavering No.2—earning the nickname "Demon Shibata" for his fierce presence on the battlefield. But two geniuses would soon disrupt his flawless warrior life... One was the "Golden Baldy" who betrayed and killed Nobunaga. The other, a cunning "Bald Rat," sought to take over the Oda clan. To protect the legacy of the Oda family, Shibata Katsuie faced his final battle—on Mt. Shizugatake! (Narration: Akito) Mt. Shizugatake is one of the Eight Views of Lake Biwa, known for its sweeping vistas. Along the shores of nearby Lake Yogo, around 10,000 hydrangeas bloom along a 600-meter stretch through late June. This hike was a huge hit last year! Distance: Approx. 10km Elevation gain: About 300m Mountain level: 3 Why not join us to enjoy lush mountain greens and shimmering lake blues?
