19. Oct 2013
Late at night I reached the parking area. It was autumn and the nights already cold. Having spaghetti for dinner, which always is a good preparation for hiking.
The next morning was clear and fresh are welcomed me. The trail lead up following a smooth ridge and offed a good view to Gas-san in the north. The best part started after reaching the top of the ridge – autumn turned all trees into colorful spots, while the mountain partly covered with green bamboo and partly already was covered with snow. A breathtaking moment and I took my time on the way up to the peak, within this stunning nature.
Yes, it was cold that day, and from the peak the view was great – even with clouds above. I enjoyed gratefully my lunchbox and then went back the same way which I came.
Amazing autumn colors, trees, berries, mountains… Wow…
And hot onsen to warm up and refresh.
And only two more mountains to go….
