Climbing Sannotou 三ノ塔

Yesterday I climbed my fourth mountain Sannotou, my first being Fuji-san(3776m), second Bandai-san(1819m) and third Mitake-san(929m) and Ootake-san(1267m)

I've also been on the top of Takao-san, a mountain in Tokyo, but the trip cant be called mountain climbing. It was just cable car ride and a nice stroll to the top

Just like Mitake and Ootake I climbed this one with quite a hangover, but this time I got tired much more easily, perhaps because of the humid and misty weather. The weather was supposed to be good but was actually cloudy. Can't be helped since weather at the mountains is very unpredictable. My plan was to continue to a mountain called 塔の岳 (1491m) (tounodake) but after arriving to the misty top of 三の塔 (1205m) (sannotou) sweaty and tired, I decided I wasn't going to get much more enjoyment in seeing just another misty mountaintop so I started my decent.

I went home and took a nap.





A Tengu might appear any minute


Some mountain sakura, still blooming


Just before the top
