If you fancy a hike through the hills, you can explore some of Saka’s walking trails. They vary in length and the hiking trail pictured, the Moriyama Route, takes about two hours. You will find observation decks with fantastic views along the trails, making it all worth the effort. You can pick up maps at Saka’s walking center or online. Please check the status of walking routes online or at the walking center before setting off and wear correct clothing.
