A COLD Hike up Mt AKAGI, Japan // Exploring Maebashi City

Mt Akagi is an incredible winter hike, with breathtaking terrain, and snow that never gets too deep, so all you need to hike it are crampons. A good mountain for a relatively beginner-friendly snow hike. It is a little distant from Tokyo, and while a day trip in and out from the city is possible, I'd recommend finding a way to stay the night to make things less hectic.
Here I stay the night at nearby Maebashi city, which also presents the chance for a mini city adventure the following morning. Fantastic!

Getting here:
From Shinjuku or Ikebukuro in central Tokyo, take the Shinkansen (or the slower Shonan Shinjuku Line) to Takasaki, and then transfer to the Ryomo Line to get to Maebashi. A bus from Maebashi takes you up to the vicinity of Akagi Visitor Center on weekends. Buses are infrequent, so check the timings and try to line them up.
