Mount Wanakura, Mountain summit in Chichibu, Japan
Mount Wanakura rises to 2036 meters in Saitama Prefecture, featuring a network of trails through cedar plantations and broad-leaved forests.
The mountain underwent substantial changes during Japan's postwar reconstruction when extensive logging operations removed many original fir and hemlock trees.
The mountain forms part of the Okuchichibu range, which translates to 'interior of Chichibu' and holds significance in local geographical nomenclature.
Hikers can reach the starting point by taking a 50-minute bus ride from Seibu-Chichibu Station to Lake Chichibu Bus Stop near Oboragawa Bridge.
Steel rails and abandoned tools remain scattered along the mountain paths, presenting physical evidence of the area's logging operations from previous decades.
