Bouldering

Conquer a Kaleidoscope of Rock Faces
“Bouldering” is a type of rock climbing in which climbers scale boulders using only their hands and feet — no ropes. Fukubegatake, with its many climbing-friendly surfaces, has become a popular destination for enthusiasts. Events are also held during the summer.
