Today was another fun little excursion I planned for myself and some friends. We were going to do a multi-mountain hike in one day to view some autumn foliage. Libby and Pacho were staying with me at that time, Libby from Australia and Pacho from Mexico. Also coming with us were Nikita and Lisa, Mariam from Kyrgyzstan and Veda from India. We arrived quite early, it was still very foggy and cold but we went straight for it. The starting hike from Takao was the steepest part, but as we reached higher heights, the path started to flatten a bit until it started to become more fun as we left the worst behind. We were able to see a lot of the red maple leaves of Mt. Takao. There were a lot of people doing the hike as well, it is a surprisingly popular mountain since it is so close to Tokyo. We reached the top and took our photos, the views were spectacular as it was peak autumn. We saw the map and planned our route on which mountains to hit and where to go next and we went on our way.Read more
