After 4 days, we returned to Ichinose, from where the trails to climb the mountain start. It took Jaap 10.5 hours. (23 km, 2000m climbing) The weather was not bad, but he didn't have a good view from the top. Me, I walked the lower elevation trail through the thick forest around the camp. I heard birds, got glimpses, but saw nothing. Ok, insects then. Did I get busy!!

In the centre, one of the many interesting moths with no name yet.
Back to the civilized world, where laundry hangs neatly and Obon festivals are fun
