Ashigakubo II

Just after a week since the Mt. Hinata hike, I was once again back in Ashigakubo for another. This time with a different group. I met Lisa's boyfriend, Jasen, for the first time along with his dog. Arino and Momo also came along. We were doing Mt. Futagoyama this time, a much more strenous, longer, and technical hike that required some ropes but the good thing is that most of the hike was covered by a forest and there was also a river so it wasn't too bad but I definitely still felt all the sweat and heavy breathing from the heat and humidity. We had a little picnic up in the summit before going back down. Our groups kinda started to separate a bit and I ended up with Arino up front before the rest of them caught up.

We passed by the Ashigakubo Icicles, or supposedly where they were supposed to be but it was summer. Interesting to see the views when it isn't winter though. We stopped by the river later to cool ourselves off before heading back to the car for the long ride home.Read more
