Hiking in drizzle. While it was going to be very hot in Tokyo i decided to go to Gunma last weekend, to tick off two Gunma hyakumeizan. Starting from Akaiwa pass I went southwards for Ojosan first. Initial walk was through an abandoned road with overgrown shrubs.Once on the trail proper a few ups and downs under forest cover takes you to an old shelter in under 15 minutes. Actual peak of Ojosan is just up the hill from there. As it was cloudy and drizzling there was hardly any views from the peak but I was surprised to find a very high flagstaff pole at the peak. Maybe they put a flag on some religious day ? The peak area used to be castle in older days hence the name Ojo san. Going back to the pass I made another piston to Mt Takama. Though shorter in distance thus hike had me puffing right from the start. There were hardly any switchbacks and trail rose steadily through latch trees and bamboo grass which was overgrown at places that it felt like bush whacking. Again no open views from top (but it has class 2 triangulation point) and I returned quickly to the parked car at Akaiwa pass . While driving back on the Japan Romantic Road(日本ロマンチッ ク街道) I saw another interesting peak and went for a closer look and realised that’s another Gunma Hyakumeizan-Arikasa. I have kept this for winter as some ‘shivaling’ like snow structure is formed in a cave like structure. Onsen Kaneshimaonsen Fuki Hot Spring 金島温泉 富貴の湯(ふうきのゆ)in Kanashina close to the Chinese restaurant Shisen I would like to again. ぐんま百名山 68,69
