While in Fukushima, I was recommended to head up mount Azuma-kofuji to enjoy the view.

So come the morning, I begin my ascent and instantly was met with fantastic views as I Drove up. Each 300 meters was another great photo spot and view of the area below.

Once I reached the resting area at the top, I was greeted with more great views and a fun souvenir shop that second as an educational building.

It was a great experience visiting but next time I will need to prepare as the sulfur smell from the active funnels was everywhere...

So beautiful!!!! There’s paid parking that cost 500 yen for the day. The drive up was gorgeous and once you get there, make sure you climb the steps up to the crater and walk all around the rim. It’s a spectacular view and a once in a lifetime experience that shouldn’t be missed.

There is a restaurant and gift shop inside the main building along with toilets both inside and out. We found it easier to go up the left side of the crater and come down the right side and the slope on the...

磐梯吾妻スカイラインを走り 吾妻小富士の近くに来ると、 「火山性ガスに注意」の看板や荒々しい火山岩がゴロゴロと… そして、イオウ臭が強くなってきました。 ここは火山性ガスが溜まりやすい地形なので、通行中は車の窓を開けてはいけません。停車して車外に出てもいけません。

小型の富士山のように見える事から名付けられた「吾妻小富士」は標高1707m。 直径500mのすり鉢状の噴火口をぐるりと一周できます。 早春に山肌の残雪が〈雪うさぎ〉に見える事でも有名だとか。

浄土平駐車場に停めて出発です。(環境保全費として普通車500円) ジグザグの木製階段を10分程登ると火口に着きます。 階段を登る途中で振り返ると、 今までいた駐車場の車は小さく見え、噴煙を上げている一切経山も下から見上げる姿とは違って迫力がありました。 階段を登りきると目の前に大きな〈すり鉢状の噴火口〉が…。 底が全く見えず、あまり近づいて覗き込むと滑り落ちそうです。

殆どの人は火口を見て帰ってしまいましたが、私は一周するつもりで来ました。 火口を一周するには時計回り(左回り)が推奨されています。 右回りで行くと急勾配の坂が〈下り〉になってしまい滑りやすく危険、との事らしいです。

≪一周するのに1時間≫ という事なので、景色を眺めながらのんびりと散策しよう……… なんて、軽く考えていましたが……とんでもないです。 道幅は思ったよりも狭く、全く自然のままなので滑落防止のロープも柵も何もありません。 大きな岩が進路を塞ぐように転がっているし、砂れきがとにかく滑るので何度もヒヤッとしました。 事前に〈滑る〉事の情報は得ていたので運動靴でしたが、ここまで滑るとは………。 でもそれ以上に苦労させられたのは、超強風です。 立っていられません。 加えて、少し大きめなウインドブレーカーを着ていた事も仇となり、強風ではためき更に体を持っていかれそうに……。 踏ん張っていないと、右は火口左は崖……道幅は狭いし足元は滑るし……落ちたらOUTです。 大袈裟ですが、無事に帰る事に必死でした。

ビジターセンターで頂いたパンフレットには「散策コース」となっていましたが、これはもう「登山」です。 火口を見るだけならお手軽に行けますが、〈火口一周〉をする場合は履き物に注意するのは勿論の事、低い山だからと侮ってはいけない、と思いました。 また、今日のような強風の時は中止すべきだったと猛省しました。

でも、プチ登山をしたお陰で… 手が届くかと思える程近い雲、 眼下に広がる福島市街や綺麗な紅葉……などの感動する場面に出会えたし、大変だった事も含めて...

吾妻小富士,是個火山口,整個步道是繞火山口走一圈,走一圈約30分到1小時。 山上風非常的大,路都是火山岩沙礫地型,所以要特別小心。 下午傍晚的時候,能看到整個火山的倒影,映在山下的市區上,難怪有小富士之名稱!
