Hello, it's Koba! Following on from Part 1, here's Part 2: Panorama Ginza Sparkling Explosion
I'll write about the second day of my food hike!
It didn't rain that much at night, and the wind was strong in the morning, but I was able to sleep soundly and wake up in the morning.
I popped my head out of the tent around 4:30 and it was just before sunrise.
The morning glow was spreading and I was sure of victory! Today is a beautiful sunny day for a summer mountain hike!!
This time, I set up the BIG SKY Mirage 1.5P tent. It has a single wall and a vestibule.
It's a hybrid tent, but it doesn't condense as much as I expected, and it's spacious and comfortable with 1.5P.
It was perfectly windproof and there were no problems even in strong winds.
It's cool so I like it!
This sleeping system uses an FP mat.
I slept in cocoon's Expedition Liner with SOL's Escape Lite Bivy on top.
The OMM Core Hoody provided insulation, allowing me to sleep until morning without feeling cold.
It looks like it's going to get cold as we approach the end of August, so the MOOSE special order STATIC "ADRIFT Ti Sleeping Bag" with Octa® + titanium sputtering will be very useful!
If you're a little sensitive to the cold, this is sure to be a great help during this time of year!
We pack up the tent and have a good breakfast!
I cooked three cups of rice in the morning and made mapo eggplant and miso soup using the eggplant I had brought with me.
Full of energy!!
First, we head to Mt. Daitenjo.
The second day was sunny from the morning! Sunny weather is the best after all!
The second day's itinerary did not involve any serious climbing, so the planned leisurely hike
It seems possible.
The ridgeline and trail that you can see ahead are spectacular!
Just before Mt. Daitenjo, I stayed at Tsubame Sanso the day before and had the most relaxed hike.
We met up with staff member Moeko.K!
Then... before I knew it, I lost my visibility and was hit by a gasp...
Moeko.K says that the weather is usually bad when she goes to the mountains.
Our sparkling hike...
When we arrived at Daitenso, we couldn't see anything, but since we were there, we decided to go to the top of the mountain.
When I got separated from Moeko.K, who hadn't been following me because of poor visibility,
What! My vision has cleared!! That was the culprit after all! LOL
Please be careful if you suddenly get gas.
Maybe it's nearby...
After we met up there, the weather was good all the time, which was a relief lol
From the top of Mt. Daitenjo, you can see Lake Takase and the view was amazing!
I love the view with the lake in it!
I also love the view of Lake Kurobe from Mount Harinoki!
You can see the ridgeline ahead and even the final peak, Mt. Tsurugidake!
This is such a great reward!!
Enjoy a short hike up to Mt. Tsurugidake while looking out at Mt. Yari and Uraginza.
This time, all three of us went with CRUX backpacks!
Shota: RK40
Edge: AK27
Aoyama: AK47
It's completely waterproof, so you can wear it even in the rain on the first day! The Kevlar used as the main fabric is durable and can be used reliably!
We arrived at Tsubame Sanso! First, we greeted the mountaineer.
Does this person have a real name?
I wonder if it was carved here? If anyone knows more about this, please let me know!
I was feeling good after drinking draft beer at Tsubame Sanso, when I happened to meet Miyachin from Miyashita Orchard.
Encountered Mr. and his group!
I received these dried apples from the apple farm and they were delicious!
Please check it out!
After enjoying Tsubame Sanso, we left our backpacks behind and quickly ran to the top of Mt. Tsubame and reached the summit!
We all took pictures in glittery hiking-like poses lol
We leisurely return while admiring Mt. Yari.
It's been a while since I last came to Mt. Tsurugidake, and it's still as great as ever!
Aoyama's HOUDINI Tsubame outfit is also amazing! Lol
When you come to Mt. Tsurugidake, you'll want to take a picture!
This is definitely a dolphin!
This is on a whole different level from the dinosaur rocks!
We returned to Tsubame Sanso, chatting away and decided to descend to Nakabusa Onsen.
I ran down the mountain quickly so I didn't take any photos lol
After descending the mountain, the first thing we did was enjoy some ice cream at Nakabusa Onsen!
It's delicious! It really hits home!
No matter how many times I look at this photo it looks delicious!
After the ice cream, we went to the hot springs and then Moeko.K, who had come by car, drove us back to Matsumoto.
Originally I was planning to take the bus from Nakabusa Onsen to Hotaka Station, but I was spoiled lol
There are five trains a day from Nakabusa Onsen to Hotaka Station, with the last one leaving at 16:15.
For more information about the bus, click here
After arriving in Matsumoto, we went out for drinks again before heading back to Nagoya lol
Karasen was delicious!
This is one of the joys of going to the mountains by public transport! Great!
This brought to a close two wonderful days filled with rain, wind, sunshine and drinking.
I've come up with a lot of plans for next year, so I'd like to carry a lot of things and go walking again!
I need to go hiking soon to prepare for the autumn race!
I have also made plans for a challenging mountain climb, so I would be happy if you would read that post as well!
thank you very much!
These are the shoes I used on this hike!
