Quick Day Hike
Tomoe and I took a little break to get into shape this afternoon. We left at 1pm, hiked up a mountain, back down to a waiting hot-spring bath, and back home in time for dinner. If we lived in Tokyo this would have been a full-day activity, requiring an expensive train ride to Okutama.
In the photo above, you can see our house in the background... well, not really, but you can see the general area of where our house is, and can get an feeling for the size of our neighborhood, and the surrounding landscape.

I am so happy to see the first picture here. Now I finally can see the size of your village and what the mountains look like near your home.

Wow, you're right out in the country, aren't you. I think I'm jealous.

I love the way trees stick out of the snow on top the hills in the snow. I would recommend you make it over to Katsuyama and Heisenji (one of the old trailheads to Hakusan used by Shugendo) in Fukui Prefecture.
