Kamikochi Day 2
The next morning we had lunch in the tour buddys cabin, and then set out to do our various activities for the day. I went on a hike up toward the top of Hotaka dakesawa…one of the peaks. I never made it to the top and there are many more details I will reveal when I get back, but now I have a lot to plan for tomorrow in Kyoto. So again with three thousand words:
This was a pile of rocks that someone built along the “rock river” just before the halfway point lodge. Here was an elevation of about 2000 meters, from a start of 1039 I think. If you look hard you can see the river down in the valley…that was my starting point.
Some of the really cool trees that grew up high on the mountainside.
The sun setting over the valley. Unfortunately I was trooping down the trail at night shortly after this…but it was a really good days hike.
Ok I have to get rolling, I am now in a ryokan in Kyoto using the computer to update this page… and uh…oh up next is a few photos and thoughts from the Hida Folk Village in the city of Takayama…houses from old Japan!
