Last Sunday I and a group of other HIF students decided to climb Mt. Hakodate. This was partly for the accomplishment of climbing it, and to prove to that we could indeed get to the top without paying 800 yen (about $9) for the gondola.
Naturally, it was foggy and rainy. Got to see lots of clouds. Even got to be inside the clouds. And then be rained on by the clouds we were standing in!
But it was fun anyway. :) We’re probably going to try it again on a sunny day when the view is better.The best photos of the day were actually after we had hiked down. There was a great view of the mountain facing the ocean, and then we walked past a cemetery that had Japanese style gravestones.
No, those weren't in the order I described them in, but I'm betting you figured out which was which anyway. :)
Wow, Nice photos (don't you just love camera timers??) Beautiful cliffs. They remind me of the Cliffs of Mohor in Ireland. However I don't recall if the ocean come right up to them or there are low rocks.
ReplyDeleteWe actually had one person taking the photo and then we switched and another person took the photo with the first photo-taker in it. Low-tech solution. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a gorgeous view. I'm glad we decided to walk that way!
