Hiking Trails of Mt. Meakan
Three hiking trails lead to Mt. Meakan’s summit: the Meakan Onsen Trail, the Onneto Trail (which starts at Onneto Campground), and the Akankohan Trail. (For visitors without private transportation, the Akankohan Trail is a good choice.) The trek to the summit and back takes from five to eight hours depending on the chosen route. Many hikers follow one trail to the peak and come down using another. All three trails ascend through forests with stunning views before reaching the crater rim.
