Rock Climb Ogawayama Mountain–Yamanashi, Japan
Complaints about the rock climbing on Ogawayama focus on the crowding, a rare problem for climbing destinations, even popular ones. Even still, this spot remains the best rock-climbing in Japan. There are over a thousand routes to climbers should be able to find one in the crowd. Climbing levels range from novice to unclimbed faces of rock but climbed by pros. As far as safety goes, the rock is granite so it’s not going anywhere, but climbers with bad gear might go someplace. Go with a pro if you’re not one.
