I've scanned the OJ forums and haven't seen to much mentioned about Mikura Dake (Three Peaks) which I believe is the best crag for those of us living near Hiroshima.

Mikura Dake is about 1-2 hours drive from Hiroshima. To get there is quite simple. Take route 2 south until you get to Otake. Once you're in Otake, make a right turn onto Route 186 and follow the signs. It's only about a 20-30 minute drive once you get on route 186.

There is camping available with showers and a cooking area.

There is a good mix of trad and sport at Mikura, but no bouldering that I've found. Most of the climbing is 5.9 and above. I believe this area is known for it's off-width climbing but don't let that fool you. There are some great climbs to be found. This link is someone's blog of the area and has some excellent pictures http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=htt...hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff

The only guide that I have found was in Free fan Magazine issue's 25, 26 ,27. I have copies of the guide if anyone is interested, or you can back order the magazines at there website http://homepage2.nifty.com/jfa/ff/ff.htm
