We wanted to go to Kamikouchi in May since a nature guide we've met the visitor center said he thinks it's best season.
Up on the mountains there are clouds but the down the bottom it was rather sunny.

Going mountains in rainy season? I thought first but it was truly beautiful!
There aren't much place to be nice when in rain in Japan, it's so uncomfortable, muggy and
sticky... but visiting Kamikouchi can be one nice solution for anyone who likes to see
the nature beauty of Japan!




Anamone called "Nirinso " the flowers that you can see only in early summer.

The weather forecast said it's cloudy but there were sun time to time...



■ From Myojin to Tokugo Touge

Moto and I wanted to go to Tokugo Touge this was the only path to Kamikouchi before roads passed through. A long time ago people had to travel at least 20 km on foot to get to Kamikouchi.

SO the trail is like this.


some snow left.





Only takes about 2 hour gentle up hill path to the Tokugo Hut. Going down only about an hour.
Mostly easy, good-for-beginner trail.

Myoujin mountain.

■ Moutaineering Info

Kamikouchi is the most major mountaineering base in Japan but there seems like not much
information provided.

This is some info that I had taken in the photos, FYI.





 Bears has been witnessed! Twice in this season!
