#SummerTrip #777 #SummerShortTrip Today I want to introduce to you all Peko-chan Park Hadano (Central Children's Park)! It's a park with Peko-chan. Recommended for families with children. Entry and parking are free! Awesome! A safe athletic facility. You worry about small children falling over. The ground is cushioned and safe. There is also a plaza where you can splash around in the water, and the children looked like they were having fun. There are also children's toilets, and the facilities are clean and well-equipped. 10 Shinmachi, Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture, 257-0056

During the Edo period, Mt. Oyama was popular among the common people as a sacred mountain. Although it is a mountain with an altitude of over 1,000m, it is popular because it is easy to climb. You can either climb it properly or climb it easily using the cable car. It is about an hour and a half from Shinjuku by train and bus, and its easy access from the city center is also the secret to its popularity. Area: Kanto Genre: Day trip Level: Beginner to beginner Walking time (excluding breaks): 3.5 hours Walking distance: About 6km Maximum elevation difference: 948m Access: Take a bus from Isehara Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line to the Oyama Cable Bus Stop for about 30 minutes #trip2023

This is just below the summit of the Ybitsu Pass route on Mt. Tonodake. It's hard on your legs and hips after the repeated ups and downs up to this point, but if you can just make it to the top, you'll reach the summit. It's the final push. #Mountaineering #Nature #gw2022jp

At the summit, like many other mountains, various objects are installed. You can enjoy the mountain scenery and sundials. From here, you can see the Ybitsu Pass route including Sannoto, Mt. Oyama, and more. #Mountaineering #Nature #gw2022jp

Sonbutsu Sanso is a mountain lodge at the top of Tonodake. If you stay here, you can enjoy the sunset, starry sky, and sunrise. Meals and toilets are available even for climbers who do not stay overnight. Since you are at the top of the mountain, please prepare yourself again. #mountaineering #peak #gw2022jp

We finally arrived at the summit of Tonodake. Unfortunately, there were clouds on the mountain side that day and Mt. Fuji was not visible, but on a clear day, it is a spectacular view point where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kanto Plain, Sagami Bay, and Mt. Fuji. #Mountain climbing #Photogenic spot #gw2022jp

The climb up Okura Ridge is finally coming to an end. After passing Kinhiyashi, there is a series of wooden stairs. Once you reach the top, you will reach Tonodake. At first there is no view, but as you gain altitude the view gets better and you will feel like you are almost there. #Mountaineering #Kanagawa #gw2022jp

Hanadate Sanso marks the end of the Okura Ridge. When you see this, you're almost at the junction with Mt. Nabewari, and beyond that is Mt. Tonodake. The view from here is truly amazing, and it's a perfect spot for a break. You can also get food. #mountaineering #photogenicspot #gw2022jp

The real climb up Okura Ridge begins when the two boardwalks start to appear. From this point on, the altitude increases. You need to keep climbing without resting, so you will see climbers out of breath here and there. Keep climbing at a moderate pace. #mountaineering #kanagawa #gw2022jp

Miharashichaya is one of the teahouses at the beginning of the Okura Ridge. As the name suggests, the first view point of the Okura Ridge is right in front of the building. We will continue to climb higher from here, but for now let's enjoy the view as a reward for having come this far. #Mountaineering #Kanagawa #PhotogenicSpot #gw2022jp

This is the first teahouse you see on the Okura Ridge if you're climbing, and the last if you're descending. There are several teahouses scattered along the Okura Ridge, and this is one of them. In addition to a large rest area, there are toilets and you can also eat. If you're not used to climbing, this is the place to take a break. #climbing #kanagawa #gw2022jp

#bucketlistdestinations Oyama-Afuri Shrine trail starts at Isehara Station (Odakyu from Shinjuku, ¥1,210, 70 min), then bus to the cable car (¥1,000 round trip, IC ok) to Oyama summit (1,252 m). I hiked down the old cedar trail toward Miyagase—moss on the 300-year-old Cryptomeria roots, fog so thick the trees looked like ink washes. Free to walk, no permit. Mistake: I went in January—ice under moss, nearly slid off the ridge. Best moss window is May–July after rain, or September humidity. A shrine priest at Afuri gave me a salted rice ball and said “the cedars drink the moss, the moss drinks the cloud.” Card works at the cable car, cash only at the trailhead tofu shop (¥400). Carry 1 L water; no springs reliable. The view of Lake Miyagase through the mist is the payoff. Should sacred mountains sell cable cars, or keep the moss for the pilgrims who climb?

This time, I went hiking in the Tanzawa-Oyama area, easily accessible from central Tokyo, using the Tanzawa-Oyama Free Pass A. It also includes "show-and-receive discounts" that are available just by showing the pass. It's recommended for both hikers and tourists/outings. In addition to unlimited rides on the Odakyu Line and Kanagawa Chuo Bus in the Tanzawa-Oyama area, you can choose whether or not to include the Oyama Cable Car. Adding a round trip on the Odakyu Line makes it even more economical.

#bucketlistdestinations Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park is 1.5 hours from Tokyo. I took the Odakyu Line to Isehara Station (700 JPY, IC card), then a 30-minute bus (500 JPY, IC card) to the Oyama Cable Car (820 JPY round trip, IC card). The Mossy Cedar Trail starts at the Oyama-Afuri Shrine (1,250 m) and winds through 1,000-year-old cedar trees with moss-covered trunks. I hiked 4 km (2 hours) to the Shimosha Shrine—the moss here is so deep it muffles footsteps. No permit, no fee. The trail is open year-round but icy in winter. I bought a 500 JPY “Tanzawa Nature Map” at the cable car station (cash) and followed it. Carry 1 L water; fountains at the shrines. IC cards work on trains/buses/cable car; cash for the map and shrine donations. Mistake: I wore a baseball cap—the cedar branches are low, and I got smacked repeatedly. Wear a hat with a brim or a hood. Kindness beat: a shrine priest gave me a moss-covered pinecone as a charm. “Yama no megumi o uketotte” (Receive the mountain’s blessings), he said. Should ancient cedars be protected by fences, or should visitors be trusted to respect their moss?

I went to see the autumn leaves at Kanagawa Prefectural Hadano Togawa Park, located at the entrance to the Tanzawa Mountains in Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture! With the majestic Tanzawa Mountains as a backdrop, the entire park is beautifully colored in red and yellow, making it a highly recommended spot for autumn viewing 🍁✨ 📷 Second photo: The landmark "Wind Suspension Bridge" and the red-dyed maple leaves The "Wind Suspension Bridge," a massive 257-meter-long bridge and symbol of the park! The maple trees spreading around its base and surrounding area are brilliantly colored in red, creating a truly picturesque collaboration of the impressive bridge and vibrant autumn leaves. If you climb onto the "Wind Suspension Bridge," you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Mizunashi River flowing below and the entire park dyed in a gradient of red, yellow, and green! A stroll across the bridge while feeling the pleasant autumn breeze is wonderful. 📷 5th photo: Relaxing autumn leaf viewing on the banks of the Minasegawa River We strolled along the river, listening to the gentle murmur of the water flowing through the center of the park, crunching through the fallen leaves. The reflection of the maple and ginkgo trees along the river was beautiful, making it a perfect location for families and couples to relax. During the peak season (usually mid-November to early December), there are sometimes nighttime illuminations, offering a different, more magical atmosphere than during the day! With easy access from central Tokyo and Yokohama, it's a fantastic place to enjoy the arrival of autumn while hiking. 👍 #Kanagawa #KanagawaTravel #Hadano #HadanoTogawaPark #WindSuspensionBridge #AutumnLeaves #AutumnLeafViewing #AutumnTrip #Japan'sBeautifulScenery #DayTrip #Tanzawa

#springtravel Hadano Tokawa Park in Kanagawa Prefecture is a fantastic getaway for anyone who loves the great outdoors without wandering too deep into the wilderness. The star of the show is definitely the Wind Bridge, a massive and beautiful suspension bridge that connects the two sides of the park over a rocky riverbed. It is the perfect spot for a casual weekend trip since the park is surrounded by the stunning Tanzawa Mountains. You can find lush flower gardens that change with the seasons, from bright tulips in the spring to cosmos in the fall. There are plenty of wide open spaces for a picnic and even a river where you can splash around during the warmer months. It is a super relaxing place that offers a fresh breath of mountain air and some seriously great photo opportunities.

The Hadano Cherry Blossom Festival brings a romantic springtime arrival!

#EnjoyJapan #Kanagawa #Shrine 📍Address: 1221 Hirasawa, Hadano, Kanagawa 257-0015 When I washed my hands with water before worshiping, I was greeted by colorful flowers and dragons 🐉. I was soothed by the sound of dripping water, the beauty of the flowers, and the sound of wind chimes 🎐. There is also a parking 🚗 space nearby, so it's fine even if you're coming from far away. There were worshippers even on weekdays, so I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing time. It seems that events are held regularly, so it's a fun shrine to plan your next visit. A moment of "quiet" time surrounded by the gentle scent of plants. It's an experience that makes you feel the greatness of Japan🇯🇵 even more🙏 It's one of the rare places where you can feel the power of Izumo without having to go all the way to Shimane Prefecture😌 Thank you🙏
