One of our best hikes in Kyushu was the hike to Yufudake late last summer. Today we went up once again to see how does it look in white frost of winter.
Temperature down at Yufuin-town was between +6 - +4 C and wind speed at 24km/h suggesting a cold day up at the mount. However, against our expectations all the way up we had no wind, and as the morning sun shined over us neither were we cold. At the very peak thermometer pointed -11 C, but as there was barely any wind we were in no trouble.
Now I can say, Yufudake is beautiful and climbable both in summer and winter. These cellphone photos may not be enough to grasp the full beauty but at least they're enough to give a picture of how it may be.
