Documentary
Standing over 3,000 meters, Mt. Ontake is Japan's second-highest volcano. It has long been revered as sacred. In the 18th century, many pilgrims set off for its peak from Kiso-Fukushima, a major post town at the foot of the mountain. Their path came to be known as the Ontake Kodo Trail. On this episode, Peter Skov traces their footsteps to the summit while enjoying the nature and religious sites along the way.
