Another great informative article Hideo. Judging by the photos it looks like beautiful hiking ! And a good physical challenge. (Just checked my Japan map to find location of Chichbu Tama National Park).
I’ve just bought a ticket to Japan and hoping to do some hiking in November; as yet undecided where to go … preferably somewhere where I can camp and enjoy a relaxing onsen….
Thanks for your comment, Alan. If you go for camping, plan earlier in November. In high altitude places in Honshu, you may have to be prepared for snow.

Honzawa-onsen may be a good place with hot spring. Sorry it is only in Japanese.
Thanks for the advice Hideo….
Just had a brief look at website and will have a good read later…
After Honshu I will be heading up to Hokkaido at end of November for the winter so still a bit of planning to do…
