Mt. Strange ('Kimyo-san')

There are three chains of mountains between Suzaka and Matsushiro area in the east from Nagano. From north, they are Mt.Myotoku, Mt.Taro, and Mt.Kimyo.

These three have so similar shapes that you might fail to identify. I have ever been to the former two mountains. So I decided to try Mt.Kimyo this time.

A week ago I could see the pretty flowers of Anzu trees but they were no more then;-(

It took an hour and a half to the summit of it. I thought this Mt.Kimyo was more fun than I imagined. On the way back, I went around to Mt.Amakazari too. This one is also a nice mountain. You don't need so much time for it, and you would enjoy it a lot, therefore I really recommend this route.
