Walking in the Rain

Wakwak climbing club enjoyed walking around Mt. Nyugasa (1,955m), Mt. Takabocchi and Mt. Hachifuse (1929m) in June 25 to 26, 2003. To minimize walking in the rain, climbing by car was planned. Those 3 mountains have access road up to the summit.

They enjoyed an birds eye view of Yatsugatake mountain range and Mt. Fuji. The summit was covered by many mountain flowers such as azalea and a lily of the valley.

Then they moved to Mt. Takabocchi by car and visited Mt. Takabocchi. From the summit they saw Lake Suwa and Mt. Nyugasa beyond.
