- Mt. Wakura -

 

I went to Mountain climbing◎

I Got up before 6am 

and started climbing around 7am. 

 

 

I was too excited to climb up and

 woke up earlier than a weekday.haha

(the trailhead* 1019m to the summit)

 

 

  

 

It's a gentle upward slope.

The stanning sunlight that 

comes through the leaves

I could easily reach 500m point.

 

 

It was just like a walk.

As I walked into further,

The bamboo trees appeared.

 

 

I was speechless to see

this breath-taking scene.

 

 

This is exactly the world of

 GHIBLI animation.

 

 

 

 

As I passed the 700m point,

the hill is getting more narrow and steeper.

the 700m point or the 800m?

 

Anyway around the point,

I could see the beautiful view.

 

I was already toughed and felt enough 

to hike at this point. haha

The last 100m was a challenging hill.

..and finally, I reached the top

It was not clean on the day,

but it's still a great view

I was staring blankly

and in sudden,

the beautiful music of a flute 

came from out of nowhere.

 

 

The music was from another hiker.

 

 

it was clear and refreshing

The next hiker told me that

 

"On a clear day, 

there is a full view of Mt. Daisen from here."

 

 

She also told me 

other recommended hiking spots 

around here.

 

I can't wait to hike in those mountains.

 

 

 

this kind of communication is

one of the exciting things for hiking.

On the return leg of the hike,

I just ran through the mountain like 

Arare chan. haha

 

 

This refreshing experience

was totally out of the ordinary for me.
