Trail To Hinokiboramaru From Hirugatake

This was one of the trails that I managed to get on the second day of hiking in the Tanzawa range this past weekend. After reaching a decent altitude up in the mountains (where the good pictures are) fog rolled in and put me out of the picture business on the first day. The second day allowed the sun to burn through and shine a little light on the mountain tops - this was one of those moments.

It can also be said to be one of those moments, since I was out of water at this point; with three hours to go and two hours since the last sip. Tanzawa is dry and some of the water marks on the map do not necessarily exist in the middle of summer. I experienced this firsthand on this most recent trip. To save myself the first morning, after realizing that I did not have enough water to complete the trail, I purchased some bottled water from the mountain goat that runs the Hirugatake mountain lodge - twol liter bottle for 1,200 yen!

Please leave a comment about hiking in Japan, photography, hiking in general, or about Japan.
