Kizugawa-shi to Ujitawara-cho.の写真

It's been the best part of 10-years since I last hiked this course and, with my 67-yearold memory not what it use to be, I had to treat this hike with caution. Since then there have been many storms & typhoons that have left their mark, so I needed to take that into consideration. The first section wasn't well signposted and maintained, and, on a few occasions, I lost my way. I was relieved when I finally arrived at Ten-jinja. The next section was the opposite - very-well signposted and maintained - giving me the impression that this was a popular track. Passing-through the tea plantation and onto the next section, again well signposted and maintained. The final section, again I wondered off course a couple-of-times, as can be seen on the map, and I was relieved when I finally emerged at Ujitawara-cho. For the mountain-bikers amongst us, there is some great track here to explore. For the hiker, if you are a beginner, I would suggest someone with experience accompany you.
