Yamatomichi
HLC Hiking Festival 2024

Get ready for the Yamatomichi HLC Hiking Festival (aka. Yamamichisai) 2024.

The Yamatomichi HLC Hiking Festival is a part of our Hike Life Community (HLC).
So far, we have HLC ambassadors in seven locations across Japan and Taiwan and have held our festival in two of those areas.

From Iwate in 2019 to Shikoku’s Mt. Ishizuchi in 2023 each festival has been incredible and this year we have decided to go to HLC Kansai, Lake Biwa in Shiga prefecture.

What’s the festival about?

The Yamatomichi HLC Hiking Festival aims to create a hub for hikers from all over to interact.

With every new location comes a new vibe and community, so it could turn out to be a completely different experience from our past events. Meaning, the success of the festival depends on you, the hikers! Hikers are the kind of people who can find happiness, joy, and fun in the middle of nowhere, in heavy rain, and even in difficult situations.

Since this is a festival for hikers, we expect participants to be able to have the skillset to take care of themselves during this outside camp event.

What will happen when 400 hikers gather?
We can’t wait to see in November at Lake Biwa!

Message from director & ambassador

The Yamamichisai is a celebration aimed at connecting different hikes, lives, and communities.

In Japan, special days for festivals and performances are called “Hare,” while ordinary days are referred to as “Ke.” The Yamamichi Festival is an event where the extraordinary “Hare” and the ordinary “Ke” intertwine and circulate.

The third edition of the festival will be hosted by our HLC team in Kansai, supported by the team at the Yamatomichi Kyoto store. Unlike the previous two festivals held on mountain tops, this year’s event will take place lakeside. And not just any lake, but Japan’s largest; Lake Biwa. It felt natural to choose Omi-Maiko, the base of the “Tent Sauna Party,” which has been an important part of the Yamamichi Festival’ every year.

So everyone, let’s enjoy the mountains of Kansai and gather at Lake Biwa.

Hidetake Toyoshima, Director of Yamatomichi HLC

Finally! Yamamichisai is coming to Lake Biwa!
With the Hira Mountains spreading out right nearby, it’s truly an amazing location, and I’m really looking forward to interacting with everyone in this spectacular setting.

This time, the festival will be held at the foot of the mountains, but I highly recommend taking a look at Lake Biwa from the mountain tops.! Personally, I love watching the lake’s surface sparkle in the morning sun.

Let’s hike, talk, sweat it out in the sauna, cool off in the lake, and enjoy amazing food and drinks together.

The event promises all of us unforgettable memories! Enjoy Kansai to the fullest!

Yuji Nakagawa, Ambassador of Yamatomichi HLC Kansai

A Little Bit of Everything

As a festival that caters to hikers who prefer simplicity and lightweight gear, there won’t be any extravagant events. However, we have prepared a few fun elements to welcome you all.

Lake Biwa Hiking Jam

As a festival dedicated to hikers, our best form of hospitality is offering you the finest trails. Before and after the festival, we encourage you to explore and embrace the Kansai landscape! Just picture hikers scattered across the mountains, all making their way to the festival—it’s a beautiful sight in itself.

Omi-Maiko, located on the western shore of Lake Biwa, is flanked by the Hira Mountain Range, which stretches north and south. To the north lies the Takashima Trail, which connects to other well-known routes like the Yogo Trail, Mount Ibuki, the Suzuka Mountains, the Tokai Nature Trail, and the Kyoto Round Trail, now gaining recognition as the Shiga Round Trail. Lake Biwa is truly surrounded by a network of long trails!

You might also enjoy entering the Kyoto Round Trail from Yamatomichi Kyoto, connecting the Hira and Hiei mountains as you head toward Lake Biwa. Kansai is home to other historic long trails as well, such as the Kumano Kodo (Kohechi) and the Omine Okugake-michi. The Taitaka Mountain Range and the Rokko Mountains are also deep and fascinating hiking areas. If you’re coming to Kansai from afar, this is the perfect opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Kansai’s mountains.

Yuji Nakagawa (HLC Kansai Ambassador, Tani-no-Kosha Owner)

*There are no designated campsites along the routes we recommend. Please make responsible choices for your accommodation, always being mindful of the natural environment. Leave No Trace!

Day 1: Boumura→Wasabi Pass (Gotenyama Course)→Mt. Bunagatake→Yakumogahara (camp)
Day 2:
Yakumogahara→Kitahira Pass→Mt. Shaka→Mt. Yake→Hira Genki Village (trailhead)→Kita-komatsu Station→Omi-Maiko Station

Access: Public bus (Katata Station→Boumura)

Overview:
It is a relatively short, beginner-friendly route that takes you from the Saba Kaido to Lake Biwa. The ridgeline from Wasabi Pass to Mt. Bunagatake offers a panoramic view of the Hira Mountain Range. Additionally, the view of Lake Biwa from North Hira Pass is unparalleled.

For the quickest descent from North Hira Pass, head down the Dake-michi trail toward In-taniguchi, which leads to Hira Station. However, if you choose the route through Mount Shaka to Kitakomatsu, you’ll encounter the impressive Yangume Falls. If you have extra time, be sure to visit this waterfall.

Trail #2 Mt. Jatanigamine and Mt. Bunagatake: 2-day/1-night

Day 1: Green Park Omoide no Mori→Mt. Jatanigamine→Mt. Jizo→Mt. Tsurube→Mt. Bunagatake
Day 2: North Hira Pass→ Kamoshikadai→In-taniguchi →Hira Station→Omi-Maiko Station

Access: Public bus (Adogawa Station→Kutsuki Gakko-mae)

Overview:
This route starts from Mt. Jatanigamine, the northernmost peak of the Hira Mountain Range, leads to the festival venue. The journey begins on an easy boardwalk, with gentle ups and downs as you head towards Mt. Bunagatake, the highest peak in the Hira Mountains. From the summit of Mt. Bunagatake, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Hira Mountain Range.

Descending from the abandoned ski resort will bring you to the Yakumogahara Wetlands, a popular camping spot with open terrain. The area features beautiful vegetation and charming newts that are a local highlight. After enjoying the stunning view of Lake Biwa from North Hira Pass, make your way to the festival venue.

Trail #3 Yangume Falls & North Hira Pass: Day Hike

Day 1: Hira Genki Village, trailhead→Yangume Falls→ Mt. Yake→Mt. Yakeo→Mt. Shaka→North Hira Pass→Kamoshika-dai →In-taniguchi → Hira Station

Access: Kosei Line, Kita-komatsu Station

Overview:
This loop trail offers stunning views of Lake Biwa. Starting from the easily accessible trailhead near Kita-komatsu Station, you’ll first encounter Yangume Falls, the tallest waterfall in Shiga Prefecture. After enjoying the powerful cascade, the climb to Mt. Shaka is challenging, but the beautiful views of the countryside and Lake Biwa from around Mt. Yakeo makes it worthwhile. You can even spot the Yamamichisai site from here.

From North Hira Pass, the full expanse of Lake Biwa opens up before you, making this route perfect for those who love panoramic views. If you’re short on time or energy, visiting just Yangume Falls is a great option. The round trip to the falls takes only about two hours, making it a quick yet rewarding detour.
Please note that there are two waterfalls: the male (Otaki) and female (Metaki) falls. The trail from Metaki involves long ladders and cliffs, so please exercise caution.

Trail #4 Hira-Hiei Trail: 3-days/2-nights

Day 1: Otsu Station→Mt. Hiei (campsite or lodging)
Day 2: Mt. Hiei→Mt. Horai→ Mt. Uchiyama (campsite or lodging)
Day 3: Mt. Uchiyama → Mt. Bunagatake→North Hira Pass →In-taniguchi→ Hira Station→Omi-Maiko Station

Access: Take the Eizan Cable Car or the Sakamoto Cable Car to Ōhiei.

Overview:
This route connects Mt. Hiei to the Hira Mountain Range, passing through its highest peak, Mt. Bunagadake, and on to Little Hira. It’s perfect for those wanting to fully experience the Hira-Hiei Trail, starting from the sacred Mt. Hiei, accessible from both Kyoto and Lake Biwa.
The trail weaves through urban areas, offering a charming mix of historical streets and temples. After passing Onna Jorō-ga Ike, you’ll reach Biwako Valley, a ski resort area with restaurants where you can refuel.

After summiting Mt. Bunagadake, the trail diverges towards Little Hira. Though not very high, Little Hira features rocky and sandy sections, including the famous white slope of Shirasaka. The descent towards the lakeside village offers a truly unique atmosphere.

Trail #5 Takashima Trail: 4-days/3-nights

Day 1 – 4:
Aibara-koshi (Kokkyō Ski Resort)→Kurokawa Pass→ Ōmikageyama→Mt. Bunagatake→Mizusaka Pass →Sakura Pass→Yokotani Pass→Mt. Komagatake→Kijiyama Pass →Onyū Pass→ Mikuni Pass→Mikuni-dake→ Kuwabara Bridge→Bus to Kutsuki Gakko-mae→Bus to Adogawa Station→Omi-Maiko Station

Access: Public bus (from JR Makino Station to Kokkyō Bus Stop).

Overview:
Complete the Takashima Trail and head to Yamamichisai! The Takashima Trail runs along a ridgeline that vividly showcases the divide between the watersheds flowing into Wakasa Bay and Lake Biwa. In November, as winter approaches, the trail is covered in soft fallen leaves and vibrant autumn colors, making it a breathtaking experience. However, be prepared for the challenges that come with this trail, including the difficulty of securing water and the need for proper equipment.

This trail is one of Kansai’s premier long-distance hikes, and this is the perfect opportunity to take on the challenge.

Trail #6 Akasaka-yama Panorama: Day Hike

Day 1: Makino Kogen Trailhead→Mt. Akasaka

Metasequoia-lined road and then casually hike a beautiful peak. The views from the top are truly breathtaking, offering an unobstructed vista that includes Lake Biwa in all its glory.

Bon Odori with Live Band

Let yourself be carried away by the festival music and dance by the lakeside with fellow hikers. Every year, the Yamamichisai is brought to life with the powerful atmosphere created by the “Imagine Bon Odori Bu,” and this year is no exception.

“We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we may as well dance.” – Japanese proverb

IMAGINE BON ODORI BU

A festive Japanese band that proudly represents Kamakura, Imagine Bon Odori Bu is celebrated for their incredible ability to make everyone smile and dance. Affectionately nicknamed “Bonbu” by local fans, this vibrant group includes singers, dancers, electric guitarists, traditional Japanese instruments, and drummers. Participants gather around the center stage in a circle, mimicking the dancers’ movements to the rhythm of live music and singing.

Founded in September 2012 in Kamakura, Imagine Bon Odori Bu was born from a group of volunteers in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, inspired by the idea of creating “a Bon Odori that connects communities and bridges generational and ideological divides.” Not only do they perform traditional pieces but also compose original songs inspired by old work songs, creating a unique and evocative world. Through their live performances, they strive to weave a “circle of world peace.

Celebrating its 12th anniversary this year, the group consists of around 40 members from various professions, known for their exceptional creativity and organizational skills, honed through participation in numerous festivals.

Watch the documentary (Only available in Japanese)

Here is a video, documenting their 2019 Tohoku tour, including their performance at the very first Yamamichisai.

Practice Makes Perfect

During the “Bonbu” live performances, the dancers will join the circle to teach the choreography, but you’ll have even more fun—and definitely stand out—if you learn some of the moves in advance.

Below are some of the scheduled songs for Yamamichisai (“Hakkō Bon Uta,” “Champs-Élysées,” “Suki ni Natta Hito,” “Kanagawa Odori,” and “Donpan Bushi”). These videos were created in 2021, where the staff practiced the choreography under the guidance of “Bonbu.” Use these videos to practice and prepare, so we can all expand the dance circle on the day of the festival!

Opening Band: Nomura Taiko

Get ready to feel the heartbeat of the land. We’re kicking things off with the electrifying “Nomura Taiko,” straight from Minami-Komatsu, Otsu City.

For generations, taiko drumming has been the soul of festivals—calling for spring rains, celebrating autumn’s harvest, and driving away pests with thunderous beats. “Nomura Taiko” keeps these ancient rhythms alive, with a dynamic crew of 60 members, from energetic first graders to seasoned drummers in their 60s.

As the drums roar, you’ll feel the pulse of Lake Biwa’s shores—its history, its culture, and the spirit of the people who’ve kept these traditions alive. It’s more than just a performance; it’s a raw, powerful connection to the past and present. Don’t just watch—feel the legacy, the rhythm, and the undeniable energy of “Nomura Taiko”!

Tent Sauna Big Party

The Tent Sauna Party has been a fan favorite since the very first Yamamichisai, and this year’s event is set to be the biggest yet. Why? Because we’re heading to Omi-Maiko, the Tent Sauna Party’s home turf. These guys regularly throw epic tent sauna and natural wine parties on the shores of Omi-Maiko, except during the hottest and coldest months. In fact, this year’s stunning location was inspired by Yamatomichii staff who couldn’t get enough of their vibe.

With the Yamamichisai on their home ground, the Tent Sauna Party crew is pulling out all the stops. They’re gathering the whole community to host the most massive sauna party Yamamichisai has ever seen.

And the best part? Your plunge pool is Lake Biwa itself! Unlike the sea or a river, the crystal-clear waters of Lake Biwa are the ultimate way to cool off after a steamy sauna session. Soak in the löyly, then dive into the pure bliss of the lake’s refreshing embrace!

– The ‘Tent Sauna BIG Party’ operates on a donation basis. If you find your zen, please consider contributing.
– Natural wines from eau winestand will be available for purchase at the venue.

Tent Sauna Party

A creative team of sauna enthusiasts specializing in web, video, and design. Based primarily in Kansai, they travel across Japan with their mobile sauna, offering experiences that rejuvenate both body and mind. Their mission is to harmonize the body and spirit through steam baths in the heart of nature.

Naoto’s mission is to help people breathe new life into their cherished gear by re-dyeing them, which he shares through hands-on workshops. At Yamamichisai, he’ll offer original indigo-dyed tenugui and an exclusive indigo dyeing workshop.
