Mount Ontake 御嶽山 (Nagano Prefecture)
Mount Ontake is an active volcano and one of Japan's most holy mountains. Mount Ontake is also one of Japan's 20 peaks that stand at over 3,000m. It has beautiful volcanic lakes and alpine vistas.
This hike is very easy. There is no scrambling, it is just long.
Also make sure that you pay attention to warnings. As Mount Ontake is an active volcano, it can erupt at anytime. Make sure you are prepared in the case of an eruption. In 2014 a number of hikers died on the trail during an eruption.
Also make note that the ropeway closes at 4:30pm.

Box Forest
The Box Forest Track leaves the Picnic Rock track 2.7 km from the entrance and is a most rewarding circuit walk. The track winds down through stands of Brush Box and Piccabeen Palms, to the lush sub-tropical rainforest along Canungra Creek. Pepper Vines cling to tall trees that often support spectacular tree gardens.
Turn right at the next track junction. During wet times, you will have to wade through the water when crossing above Wajinya Falls. The track continues near the top of the falls on the other side. Darragumai Falls and Picnic Rock are considered good lunch spots. Don't miss Box Log and Elabana Falls on the way home.

The Forest Path
Opened in 1886, the Forest Path was once part of a controversial logging site, the first time that logging was stopped in Australia by protest. Now it is a short trail looping around the hill, following the Hacking River. Through a shaded environment of ferns and eucalypts, this walk passes through a very pretty environment that was definitely worth preserving.
