Hiro's parents are avid mountain climbers, and were keen to go mountain climbing / hiking while I was up there. The first day we went to Hachimantai National Park. I have been to the visitor centre opposite Lake Onuma many times, but never to the volcano that is just behind it...

| Steam rising from the mud |
 |
| Hydrangeas in August! |

| Mud volcano |
 |
| A rather self-evident sign to take care because it is hot... |

From the volcano behind the visitor centre, we went to Fukenoyu, an onsen not far down the road, which I also hadn't been to before.

| Apparently the onsen used to be located in this area but was lost to a landslide after heavy rain. |
 |
| Steam holes in the ground |
 |
| Water from the onsen - it's milky water not polluted. |
