Hiking

-Hiking to Mt. Ibuki-

I went to Mt. Ibuki with my parents.
My mum drove us.

The highway was chockablock... It took 3 hours to there. (Normally about 2 hours.)
However I found cute road sign.


Animal caution for Tanuki (Raccoon dogs)

We arrived the parking...
Let's hike!!

There are many rocks.
Most of the rocks are limestone, so it's very slippery when it's wet.






View from mountain toward to ski resort.

Some lives in mountain...

Captured a bird.

However long distance, so bit bad quality...

A locust.

For me, this is creepy...

Gorgeous butterflies everywhere...

A man said me, 'Look, you should take this too.'

I saw many pretty flowers.

(Sorry it's only Japanese name...)

'Ibuki torikabuto'

'Utsubogusa'

'Marubadakebuki'

'Tsuru ninjin' (Maybe this, but might different flowers will bloom...)

'Syurosou'

'Kooni yuri'

'Kawara nadeshiko'

'Ezo fuuro'

'Waremokou'

'Tsurigane ninjin'

'Ruri toranoo'

We arrived top of the mountain...

This mountain is 1,377m.

The building used to meteorological station, but not any more...

Good bye mountain...

These are from the car views.

Twisty road... It was exciting, but I bet mum was tired to drive this road.

Treat time!!

We off to Oogaki to have summer sweets.
