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. |
