”Umanose", a powerful rocky area Suma Alps Hiking

At the westernmost end of Mt. Rokko lies the Suma Alps. The ridge called “Horse’s Back” is small but full of impact. It is about 7.3 km, and the mountain level is 4. We will walk slowly while enjoying the view of Kobe Bay. This course is a part of the Rokko Traverse Route, and we will traverse seven peaks: Hachibuse-yama, Hatafuri-yama, Tekkaisan, Takakura-yama, Toga-no-o-yama, Yokoo-yama, and Higashi-yama. From each summit, you can see the scenery of Suma Beach and enjoy a pleasant ridge walk! The Suma Alps let you enjoy sea breeze and scenery, and the course is very popular with some small rocky areas to enjoy as well. Since we finish early, it’s also nice to stroll around Itayado Station or stop by Sannomiya.
