Thought I would show my favorite place to take a break from the concrete and humidity of Tokyo. I used to love to take day trips to Mitake.
This is the beginning of the hiking trail.
Nice to see some daikon hanging around.
Love the grass roofs on some of the houses in the mountain village.
Some tengu sculptures hanging out in a shop window. I always take pictures of stuff I want to buy but feel like I shouldn't spend the money .
The forests of Mitake are famous for momonga or flying squirrel.
There are several trails where you can explore the forest. I was really tempted to just reveal everything of interest here but I think I will just leave you with this last picture. I highly recommend a visit to Mt. Mitake!
