I arrived at Ikusabata station at 8:17. About 10 hikers got off the same train with me.
|
A male daurian redstart was singing on an electric cable over the platform.
|
I walked on the driveway for 30 minutes. It was along a stream.
|
I passed the branch to Mt. Takamizu and go straight.
|
The trail start from this forest on the right.
|
After an hour from the station, I came to the peak of Mt. Raiden, 494m above the sea-level.
|
Most wildflowers were over but I saw many kouyaboki along the trail.
|
I found tiny flowers of kiko-haguma. This is one of the two main purposes of this hike.
|
And I soon found the other. Senburi flowers. They are aboiut 1 cm and a little larger than the kikou-haguma flowers.
|
There were so much color leaves found today, but there were a couple of spots they started to color.
|
Today, I didn't go to the end of the hiking couse, but turned right at a stupa of Daijoji temple.
|
I passes another small shrine with several toriis.
|
And stopped by a soba noodle restaurant near Ohme station.
|
Ohme station is famous for this strange monument, commemorating Fujio Atatsuka, a cartoonist known by his gag mangas such as Osomatsu-kun, Tensai Bakabon.
|
Also, they put up old movie posters along the underground hallway of the station.
