Hiking to see silver grass and views of Mt.Iwawaki 岩湧山の一面のススキと大パノラマを満喫するハイキング！
About the event
※日本語の説明は後半にあります。
Mt.Iwawaki, 897 meters above sea level, is famous for its silver grass in autumn and is one of the most popular mountains in Osaka. A well-maintained hiking route leads up from the Takihata Dam, the largest dam in Osaka. The elevation of the Takihata Dam is 360 meters, so the climb is roughly 540 meters. Enjoy a panoramic view of silver grass and a large panorama!
