Yesterday I climbed Mt. Takao alone.
I decided it impulsively when I got up in the morning.
I had been afraid of climbing mountains alone
and had never tried it since 2010.
Oh, let me say, the mountains I can climb by myself
are only these three mountains--
Mt. Takao, Mt. Shiroyama and Mt. Kagenobuyama.
Yesterday morning I was preparing for climbing Mt. Takao
without any hesitation.
I was surprised at a change of my heart!
Was I not afraid of climbing mountains alone?
Anyway I hurried to the nearest train station.

もみじ台~いろはの森日影沢コース~日影沢バス停~

I like Inariyama Trail and Trail No.6.
I make it a rule to take Inariyama Tail when I climb alone.
I walked very slowly.
My breath was almost giving out.
Every hiker passed me.
Oh, what beautiful autumn colors in the mountian!

Then I went to もみじ台, where I met a lady from Nerimaku Ward.
I had onigiri lunch talking with her.
The lady and I went down the mountain together.
I don't know her name and she doesn't know my name.
I shared a nice day with her.
I was happy to enjoy 一期一会.
How grateful I am that I am alive
and enjoy climbing Mt. Takao!
I walked 19879 steps yesterday.
