沢筋は穏やか 午後から霧雨と冷え込みに注意

The morning offers clear skies and calm conditions for ascending Mt. Shari. Summit temperatures will feel around 7 degrees Celsius. A robust layering system is crucial: a wicking base layer, a fleece or thin down mid-layer, and a waterproof-breathable outer jacket. This setup is vital to manage the temperature fluctuations throughout the day.

From approximately 3 PM, light drizzle is expected, with temperatures dropping to around 10 degrees Celsius. Wet conditions will further reduce the perceived temperature, significantly increasing the risk of hypothermia, especially if clothing becomes saturated. Particular caution is advised on the Kyudo (Old Route) with its continuous waterfalls, as wet rocks will become extremely slick, posing a severe slipping and falling hazard.

Ground conditions will be predominantly dry in the morning, but stream sections will transition to wet conditions in the afternoon. Waterproof trekking shoes with good grip are essential for navigating these potentially slippery areas. As this region is a known habitat for brown bears, always travel in groups, carry a bear bell, and exercise strict food management.

Temperatures will continue to fall to around 8 degrees Celsius by evening. While the night will be clear, expect temperatures to cool significantly to around 3 degrees Celsius. Planning to conclude your activity before sunset is strongly recommended to avoid colder conditions and reduced visibility.
