8:15 I started from Ogawa-machi station
|
After a 20 minute street walk, I found the first direction sign for hiking. I chose the closest trailhead from the station, which went straight at this branch..
|
This seemed to be the trailhead.
|
The leaves of the trees changed at places.
|
The trail was covered with fallen leaves.
|
9:15 I arrived at a gentle peak of Mt. Sengen. T
|
There was no great open views at the peak or along the trail.
|
But autumn colors were beautiful at places.
|
I found a small plate saying this place is the peak of Mt. Monomi, officially by the Japanese Geographical Survey Institue.
|
The trail came down to a driveway from the back of a grave yard.
|
Maples trees along the drive way were already beautiful when I came close to Ranzan gorge.
|
And I came to the entrance to the trail along the gorge.
|
Color leaves were beautiufl
|
A stone monument said the town Ranzan was named after Ranzan in Kyoto which is famous for its autumn colors.
|
It sure was a gorgeous place worthy of the name.
|
The trail ends at the tip of a peninsular like land made by the river bent.
|
There was a path to the river.
|
After came back the stone monument, I turned right toward Sensedo shrine.
|
As I came just in time for the bus, only one service in an hour during the day, I got on it from the BS in front of a tourist info facility.
|
As I changed trains from Tobu to Seibu at Kawagoe, I stopped by and had a short walk around this KO-Edo, small-Edo town.
|
This place was famous for its street with old wooden warehouse-like stores build more than 100 years ago.
|
There were many old shrines and temples in the town.
|
Kitain temple is the largest and most famous one.
|
I enjoyed the walk.
