No dangerous spots. I stopped by at Sengenyama park near Fuchu to look for Musashino-kisuge flowers which only grow in this area. |

As we are in the Golden Week in Japan, roads and sight-seeing spots are expected to be very crowded. So I planned this short hike with an easy access from my place. I also visited a small park in Fuchu, where an indigenous lily grows and blooms in early May. It seems it was a little too early for the lily, but I found many beautiful kinran orchids blooming and I also found many flowers in Takao just as I had expected. [Rating of the trail for middle-aged beginner hikers, like myself * The keys used in my logs are in: http://mountrec.com/modules/diary/629-detail-455 - Required Stamina: Level 2 of 5. Relatively easy. - Difficulty: Level 1. No place to use hands. - Unnerving?: Level 1. There were no scary spots. - Get lost? Level 2. The trail I used from Hikage BS to Mt. Shiroyama was not a major trail and there were few direction signs. The traces were clear, but you many need compass and a map. Other sections areetrails set by the park office and very well maintained. - Photogenic? Level 3. There were various kinds of wildflowers all year round, and you can get a five view of Mt. Fuji if the weather permits. - Come again? Level 3. I'd come back again, and again to enjoy various flowers. - Comment: There are many trails in the area. I attach my previous hike reports of this area for your information. http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1148.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1144.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1111.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1098.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1091.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1085.html http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/detail-1040.html The original Log in Japanese is here. https://www.yamareco.com/modules/yamareco/detail-1119717.html If you are interested in my other logs, please check http://mountrec.com/modules/mtrec/userinfo-629-data.html I hope my humble hiking reports could be of any help for your memorable stay in Japan.
