Itinerary description

Start in Sounkyo onsen with gondola and chairlift. The climb to Kuro-dake is very popular so it is well maintained and has lots of wooden steps. Now it was difficult due to lots of snow on the track. Once up Kuro-dake it was a nice walk around the crater.
The second part contains most of the hike. The app crashed and I couldn't resume this part because I was already too far from the point were it stopped working.
