Into the woods

View from a backyard, looking down the ravine.

Japan is very mountainous and sometimes the shortest distance between
two points is impassable. You could be neighbors (a few yards apart)
and yet be a 10 minute walk away!

Ohayoo gozaimasu!

And so it begins!
This is a view from Yakuoin temple on Mt. Takao in Tokyo. One of my favorite hikes!
