To climb in Hyugami, local climbers use Green pal Hyugami, camp site.

A cottage for 6 people is only 17,050 yen up to 8 people, 

                   10 people is 22,550 yen up to 12 people. 

To use this place perhaps you do like to come by car, or a bus. To get to crag, you's like to use a bus or by foot.  

Okuhyugami Camp site 

Is opening in Feb. or Mar. in 2020. Once it is open, you can access it by car and stay there for a few days. It is only camp site within 5 min to crag.  Local climbers just bring tent under the tunnel there or sleep in the ban of theirs like climbing bums. 

Free site for Natural Spring Water

It is about 15 min drive away from Okuhyugami Camp site or 10 min from Green Pal Hyugami.

Water supply could be a problem when you are camping so I list it here. If you are OK with river water, you can just go down the river. Japanese climbers are usually bringing water from home.

This spring water charge by membership system but there is one free tap for visitors to share.

It's membership system

Free Tap

Paid Tap

Compromised Anchor

Not the best but compromised.

Sometimes we see these but usually it is OK.

Better to double check so ask the other people.

Usually unpopular routes are better leave that way.

Hanatate Iwa Kante Jyou Slab

Hanatate Iwa Kante Jyou Slab

I went to this one in Winter time (Christmas holiday in 2018) and was so cold it was snowing. 

You have to cross the river to get and climb up the hill for about 15min. There are a subtle climbers trail to Hanatate Iwa.

The topo is here.

It does says not even a decimal.
http://k1hut.yuki-mura.net/hyugamihanatateiwa.html

The climb was easy 4 pitch slab. It was an easy 5.7 or less I felt.

It had a lot of large pockets, it looked as if spoon cuts in snow ridges as in summer snow, so it was a lot of foot stance. 

So this one is actually the 1st multi pitch for everyone in this crag.

It probably takes only a half day or so . So you may want to combine with other climbs too. .

I see many climbers here so must be popular place. Many gym climber who are new to the outdoor climbing says the 1st pin is kind of too high.  So for a short person, pre-clipping is recommended. Don't take risks when you are traveling.

Muchu hokou 5.9 

This is me on Muchu Hokou 5.9
the very first climb of mine in Hyugami.

I was told this climb needs 5.10b move, so everyone wonder why it says 5.9?

This one's crux is high in above, so even though it is 5.10b move, it relatively safe to fall...

so it is a nice start for you to adjust the sense of grade from this climb.

I think this one is fine with me as a short person of 152 cm, so runout is relatively OK.

I am a 6b climber in Laos but never felt scared.  In Japan, I feel a bit more scared when climbing, I don't know why exactly. I kind of assume I must go on like this till I reach to the most popular grades in this crag.

My record is here.
