New year's day hiking.

New year's day is nearly approaching. Do you have any plans on new year's day? Our town does new year's day hiking at Mt Yakurai. Mt Yakurai is our city's symbol. It is 533 meters tall. It takes about 1 and a half hours to get to the top of the mountain. It is a small mountain but It is called KAMIFIJI by locals. A part of the name Fuji comes from Mt. Fuji.

I understand your point better that way. I would write it as “in our town, we go hiking on New Years Day.” You would only say “the hiking will take place” if it were a special event with a name. “The” is used for specific events, “a” is used for more general activities -“a hike” instead of “the hike.”

If I write " In our town, the hiking will take place at new year's day." Is it okay?

Well written:) a few comments: Generally, when talking about the height of something, we say “it is _____ meters tall.” On time: one and a half hours, not one hour half. Proper nouns don’t usually have articles before them. For example, we would say “Mt. Yakurai” instead of “the Mt. Yakurai.” Biggest error: Our town will be held New Year’s Day...” I wasn’t sure what you meant there, I guessed and wrote that your town goes hiking on New Year’s Day. I think the problem here is twofold: incorrect verb choice (to hold instead of to hike) and incorrect tense (should be present continuous -goes hiking, not future continuous -will be hiking). Hope this helps!
