What to wear

Many days are cloudy or rainy and humid, and the hike up Mt Inari feels muggy, so drink often. Short sleeves are fine during the day; bring a light cardigan or shirt for cooler, rainy days, mornings and evenings. Long, breathable trousers or a long skirt help against insect bites and sunburn on the grassy paths. It is the rainy season, so keep a folding umbrella or raincoat in your bag, and bring a towel, water, sunscreen and a hat.
