Mt MITSUTOUGE to get on the thicket. Half a day, (4 hours 16 minutes).

In March, (fine weather).

Because it is here in the middle of a pass way to extend to TENKA, the tea dealer, the entrance of the mountain trail is the approach which is almost the same as Mt MISAKA. I arrived at the parking space of the entrance at 12:40, and prepared the change of clothes and the preparation. The radio reported the maximum temperature of KOUFU today by the weather in early summer before and after 20 times.

I began to walk at 13:00. I put the tripod for the pack of 40l of MILLET which I bought yesterday, and put on long spats, and had stick. Though neither spats nor stick mattered, I decided myself to be handled why. I can't pass through that if I don't attach the chain because it is frozen though there is a way which the car puts in the MITSUTOUGE direction as well from the place where I parked. It is decided that I climb the roadway because the mountain trails are the way and the combination, too. It is tired because it doesn't seem to be mountain climbing. Though I sometimes walked the inside of the tire mark, it slid, and difficult, and the shoes became dirty in the place to freeze the whole surface in the place where the mud came out. There was a sign of "from this, the prohibition of the general car penetration" in the place where I walked for about 30 minutes, and I thought "Was it easy if I came in here?". I kept climbing it without taking a rest because I was in good condition and I didn't have the heartbeat and the throat wasn't thirsty, either. When I do my best and I am climbing it, I have the sound of the engine from the top. Because the car approached here and seemed to come, I moved by the side, and the jeep which I wound the chain around when I was waiting had come down. I go the person's of the cottage beginning to buy it certainly. I kept climbing it, and arrived at the divergence under the hut at 14:07 with seeing the pattern of the chain left on the snow.

I changed the direction even if I took a rest because there was a little observatory in its right hand. At that moment, I slipped with the mud of the slope, and pushed the slip. I walked with removing the dirt by the snow of the circumference because the handle of stick and my both hands were covered with mud. The conviction can't have me after the short rest if it is Mt KENASHI because there is no sign though I went to Mt KENASHI and I had been returned. There were few guideposts, too, and it was thought the unkindness though I considered that the climbing the mountain guest of the number came here very much when I did from the bench which is here very much, and the scale of the cottage. I began to walk the way with the mud at 14:19, and passed through the side of the FUJIMI villa at 14:45. Though the villa seemed to be open, it put many things indiscriminately without figure. It doesn't seem to be a mountain to be what because it is the mountain trail of about the summit of a mountain though it can be carried because the jeep puts it here.

I arrived at the summit of a mountain of Mt KAIUN at 14:55. I have the sound of the machine though the electric wave tower of NHK stands just by the side of the summit of a mountain and the building is uninhabited. Because the weather was good, I could see the mountains of Mt FUJI and Kai well. I took the summit of a mountain souvenir picture, and drank the oolong tea, and took a rest. Though I couldn't decide whether I was returned, I disliked walking in the roadway of full of cottages and going down. So, though I became a roundabout way a little, I went to the SEIHACHI pass, and walked in the roadway from there to my car, and decided to go down. I don't meet with a disaster even if it gets dark if it goes to the roadway. Though I began to walk at 15:10, it became a slope to the peak which the big electric wave tower is in soon. I was disappointed because there was a sign nowhere though I thought with Mt OSUTAKA. The oil of the building smelled bad though I passed through the mountain trail where it passed through the side of the building of the electric wave tower.

It was the urgent terrific slope though the way to the SEIHACHI pass direction was descent. I go down carefully with looking for the branch which me taking with the step or the hand in the circumference because it slides and falls when the snow which I stepped on freezes. It is early, and the knee is easy, too, because I gain the distance consequently though the place where the snow is soft slides. But, I fell down at last, and dealt a heavy blow to the right knee. My right foot slid in the mud slope which the left moved to. There was no hindrance in a walk because the wrong point did seem that fortunately be in the joint and the bone. The foot can't be put imprudently because the mud on the surface slides with the slope of the soil as well like a surface avalanche. Only my right foot slid many times after that as well, and decided that I intended to make the title of today's diary "The right foot is silly.". Because the right foot became a mountain foot, it was thought the benefit that the bottom outside the shoes hit the ground. As for the mountain trail, the condition varies according to the ice, the snow, the mud, the rock, and I must change how to walk many times. I did my best even if I walked without anyway taking a rest for one hour. Sunlight to come in from the left is high, and the sun is warm. The time seems that still be fully. I took a rest because I stood up in the little peak at 16:14. Though I drank the oolong tea and the jelly drink, it was not the mood that I made the Chinese noodles. When I began to walk again, the way became a bamboo grass wood, and became the slope covered with dead leaves after that. It sometimes slides though it seemed to be snow that the dead leaves flowed on the shoes and interesting. The bottom was full-scale ice when I could try to get out of the way from the leaf. I stood up in the peak whose it was higher than the surrounding peak at 16:29. Though I thought with Mt OHHATA, there were not a sign and a guidepost here, either. I recorded the place in GPS, and walked soon, and arrived under the steel tower of the high pressure electric wire at 16:38. I was supposed to go to the roadway if I hit col between Mt SEIHACHI and Mt OHHATA and went down to the left along the electric wire.

Though I put the pack and I looked for the way, I could confirm the way for a control like the lift of the skiing ground. It was decided that I went down to the left from here on the stock, the map because the roadway from Mt SEIHACHI was long, too, after I looked up at Mt SEIHACHI and I was. I thought that you were allowed to turn back when it took the time and the worst because the equipment such as a simple tent, rainwear had the head lamp, too, though it was not on the map. Though I began to walk at 16:44, it stopped knowing the way soon, and it was walking in the river which the water was not in when it was considerate. I stopped, and there was a point which was a way when I look around the right and left, and climbed it there, and tried to walk in the way. But, it sometimes stopped finding out the way many times when I removed the route a little because the ice and the snow slid. Since I still proceed for a while, the way has gotten clear. After that, the way became the perfect thicket which the thin branch projected from the right and left to, and the condition continued to it for a while. It became the height above sea level that the tree of the kind which I said so grew. Though the branch is within eyes and it is troublesome, I shut my eyes, and I can't walk. I put up stick 2 before the face like the player of the descent in 10cm, and I had myself, and divided the branch, and advanced. I had to pass through the thicket in the place where the thick branch hung down low with getting it on. I jumped into the roadway suddenly at 17:02. The place feels secure because I can reach my car at last if I go this down to the left though it isn't understood precisely. I drank the oolong tea, and took a rest. Though I thought that the very long time was made to walk the roadway, I began to walk, and reached my car at 17:16 after eight minutes. I met no one today except for the person of the jeep. I could confirm only the old-fashioned footprint in Mt SEIHACHI direction from Mt MITSUTOUGE, and there was no footprint which got clear in the degree of the beast distance in the descent from the steel tower.

The trousers became dirty in the mud because the shoes were very dirty and I fell down though I used spats, too. Though I thought the injury of the right knee only the bruise, there was a cut in two places, and bleeding spread out to the outside.
