My Impressions

Mt. Sukai is located between Gunma prefecture and Tochigi prefecture and designated as one of the 100 Famous Mountains in Japan. The access to Sukaibashi, which is the start point of the climb, is a long drive off-road. It has over 20 km one way and takes 1.5 hours by car. It makes for less people. Actually, there were less people, despite being one of the 100 Famous Mountains.
Frankly, I can't wrap my head around why it has been designated as a 100 Famous Mountains. Bad access to the climbing entrance, lower height of summit, no views at summit, it has a lot of such unattractive factors. But I could enjoy driving off-road. I bought for my SUV for these off-roads. If you are planning to go there, you should take into account there's no turning point. And the road might damage your car.
