Mt. Kagenobu

2011/12/04


Mt. Kagenobu is a mountain situated in Tokyo near mount Takao. This is not that much of  a famous mountain but people who know the area don`t miss it. Unlike mt.Takao, it does not have good trails but some woody unclear mountain trails. A hiker needs a good hold of the foot.

I was out on the hike towards the end of the autumn of 2011, and  a little glimpse of beautiful autumn leaves still could be seen. Below is such one moment.



The capture below is how the greenery is gradually getting ready for the winter. It s beautiful on its own way with the light colour shades. In the distance the concrete world of  Tokyo can be seen.

From now on I am going to share some captures from the top of Mt. Kagenobu.

The Tokyo bay, Tokyo area can be seen over the mountain range from the top of the Mt.Kagenobu

MT. Fuji from the top

Lake Sagami can also be seen


The last capture shows how it Mt. Takao appears to the top of the Mt.Kagenobu.

Well, I had a hard time at the hiking because my foot hold was not good enough but was very enjoyable. Just amazed at how Japanese people spend there time hiking and guess that it is one of their secretes to their healthy life.
Special thanks to my lecturer Mr.Hikone Mamoru , Mr.Saito who was on a vacation from France and Mrs. Sakimoto for taking me with you in this interesting fun hike.

Well, luck was upon me this one time. It was early morning of 5.45 and I was waiting for my sensei s vehicle in front of  Toyama Station. I did know the plans for the day but that we were going to Tateyama. Were we going to Kurobe Dam too, or going to Kurobe Dam?Were we going to take the Alpen Route or go straight to Kurobe? Surprises were waiting. We reached Tateyama Station and I knew it is my dream coming true. Weather and information of the day  It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot. We were simply above the clouds and the temperature difference was too much to bear. It was cold in the summer. Early in the morning when we passed the Murodo staion on our way to Kurobe dam it was clear all around. in the aftern...
