Access issues inherited from Gozen Iwa
Please visit the Oku-Tama Climbing Center before visiting the crag (situated after the restroom on your left before crossing the bridge to go to the crag; you can also find it by searching: 奥多摩クライミングセンター on google maps) In front of the climbing center building, there is a small wooden box that you can open. You will find a notebook and some envelopes inside. Please register your name and starting time in the notebook when arriving and leaving time when leaving the place. Please add your name on an envelope, add 500JPY in the envelope and insert it inside the wooden box. Please add an additional 500JPY if you use the parking.
Please respect these small rules that allow us to enjoy an amazing crag that has been through a lot of work to be climbable by the community.
Approach
When arriving from the trail it is the first rock on your right (facing Elephant Rock).
Ethic inherited from Japan
There`s not a lot of information about climbing in Japan in English. Much of the information is only available in Japanese - or of course here on theCrag!
The Japan Free Climbing Association (http://freeclimb.jp/seibi/seibi.htm) is a good point of contact and there is a set of 5 guidebooks (all in Japanese) and an alpine guide book in English available covering all of Japan and its thousands of sport and trad routes and boulders.
