Geocache Description:


Mt. Houkyou is the second highest mountain in Tsukuba city. There is a pagoda named "Houkyou" established in the Kamakura era. You can observe Mt. Tsukuba and Lake Kasumigaura from the top of this mountain. In addition, when it is a fine, you can enjoy a distant view of Mt. Fuji. This mountain is selected as one of the 100 Mt. Fuji observatories in Kanto area.

There are several trails to the top. You can obtain the guide map from the official homepage of the Tsukuba city. It is currently written in Japanese. I recommend you to use the Oda resting house becase there is a large parking lot. The direction boards on the trails are written in Japanese.

宝篋山はつくば市で二番目に高い山です。山頂には鎌倉時代に建立された宝篋印塔があります。山頂からは、筑波山や霞ヶ浦が望めます。さらに、天気がよければ富士山の展望を楽しめます。ここは関東の富士見百景の一つです。

登山ルートはいくつかあります。つくば市の公式ページには、日本語の案内図があります。私のおすすめは、小田休憩所からのルートで、ここには広い駐車場があります。ルート上の案内板はすべて日本語です。
