Trails Within a 2-Hour Drive
Akiyoshido Plateau- This is my favorite place to trail run in Yamaguchi. Gentle climbs, 20+ miles of trails.
3 Peaks- a steep hike to the top, but the views are amazing. Perfect dayhike.
7 Falls- There is an extensive network of trails beyond the 2-mile stretch with the waterfalls. There are enough trails for multiple days of hiking. Perfect weekend backpacking trip or family camping trip at the campground.
Sandankyo Gorge- Most famous hiking area in Hiroshima Prefecture for good reason. Numerous waterfalls large enough to swim in, boat rides and a restaurant along the trail serving fish from the river.
Oshima Island- Hike a few hours then relax at the beach.
Route 42 Trails- Nice loop trail in Hatsukaichi that could be completed in an hour or two.
Bankokei Trail- A half mile trail to a large waterfall in the middle of nowhere.
Tsuwano Castle Trail- If you are visiting the town of Tsuwano, this is a must.
