Mt. Shokan hike (将冠岳 のハイク) !!⛰

Front entrance of the hiking trail at first Tori gate to second Tori gate is super steep and technical hike...took a breather at the second gate and continued to the third Tori gate...trail blends in very well with surroundings and you will not get lost getting to the top...every 5-10 meters, trees are marked with red tape to keep you on the trail. You are rewarded with nice view at the top with huge rocks you can stand and sit on to eat snack...the summit overlooks western Sasebo.
