Futatsuyama: The forbidden forest

The climbing continued, we were at 1600m above the sea level...the navi kept showing us routes that dont exist. It then led us to a small route, with a big red sign written on it and it was blocked with chains. It was written in japanese, so we didnt know what it was, but it smellt like danger. But its either that or more climbing 😥. We decided to trust the navi and trespass. Along the way we saw some japanese with four-wheellers and weird outfit. They looked puzzled seing us there....nevertheless we continued further.The road was definitely not suitable for our bikes. Its was very rocky and was going quite steep downhill. We let the bike rolls and used alot of braking and alot of maneuvering to avoid big rocks. I managed to fall down again and hurt my knee cap. Luckily the bike was okay. Later on we found out it was a hunting area and we had no business being there at all. Luckily there were no japanese hunter mistakened us for bears and we managed to came out of the forbidden forrest alive. We should had set more checkpoints on the navi to make sure that it does not lead us to small, rocky roads with japanese men hiding in the bushes with rifle guns.Read more
