On our quest to climb all 100 famous Japanese mountains or <\/span>\u65e5\u672c\u767e\u540d\u5c71 (Nihon Hyaku-meizan) as they are known in Japanese, we summit Mt. Rausu, located on the beautiful Shiretoko peninsula on the island of Hokkaido in the north of Japan.<\/span><\/p>

Mount Rausu is the highest peak on the Shiretoko peninsula and it\u2019s not uncommon to encounter a bear on this hike since the Shiretoko peninsula has the highest density of bears of anywhere in Japan. Before setting off on this hike, make sure you have a working bear bell and bear spray. We hiked up Mt. Rausu from the Iwaobetsu Onsen trailhead and we will share our experience of climbing Mt. Rausu below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The information we share in our <\/span>100 famous Japanese mountains <\/span><\/a>blog posts include the type of information we wish we could have read before doing the hikes ourselves! <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
