Review of Nijozan
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating雄岳と雌岳があって、雌岳の頂上の方が賑わっています。スニーカーでも登れる、初心者におすすめの山です。
近鉄二上山駅から行くのがよいです。
一時間もあれば、登頂できるはずです。
少し険しいかな。
雄岳、雌岳の二つがあるので、
双方いかれてください。

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
