Mt. Sobo, located on the border of Miyazaki, Oita and Kumamoto Prefectures, is popular as the highest mountain in Miyazaki Prefecture. Since the walking time is a little long, it may be a little difficult for beginners.
This time, We will briefly introduce Mt. Sobo, which has multiple trailheads. We will also provide an overview of each course.
Kitadani trailhead and Obira trailhead
If you want to climb Mt. Sobo relatively easily, we recommend the course from the Kitadani trailhead, and if you want to walk while feeling the virgin forest, we recommend the Obira trailhead.

Mt.Sobo in Winter
We recommend that you ask a guide.
If you want to enjoy the nature of Miyazaki’s mountains, you should walk Mt. Sobo at least once. In order to prevent accidents, we recommend asking a guide or using a hiking app.
