Mt. Omeshi, 2160m in Takayama vil.

I had given it up because the weather forecast says it would be bad. However, I got up late in the morning and then found that it was fine above high mountains. Quickly I set up my zack and left for Mt. Omeshi-dake.

I got the entrance, Kenashi Toge at 10 in the morning. I saw some poeple flying gliders there. It was fine there although there were clouds over Mt. Shirane and Asama and I could not find them. After setting up myself for minutes, I got started to walk.

Ten minutes later I got to the peak of Mt. Kenashi. And then it took fifty minutes to the summit of Mt. Omeshi. The path was so well maintained that you don't need to be afraid of bad underbush of bamboo grass. Walking through several underbushes and wet silvas, finally I reached the summit. It was broader than I thought and doesn't have trees except bamboo grass. You could see nice view from there if it was fine.

It was a weekday and this mountain is not so famous that I met no one all through the mountain. Moreover, I couldn't see any nice view under the cloudy and misty weather. I didn't heard any sounds of people or cars. At last I felt somehow lonely there. When I found the new signboard of the name of the mountain on the top, I felt better.

I was so glad to walk and get to the peak. After about thirty minutes tea break there, it was getting worse and nearly raining. So I decided to start to walk down this mountain.
