This week with TTR: Golden Week peaks and onsen
Hi friends,
Even on the mountains, we can't totally escape the bustle underneath. Alas!
And since this may be one the busiest hiking weekends of the year, we decided to brush off a TTR classic that is both nicely accessible yet off the beaten path enough to stay away from the crowds
Hope you will join us this weekend, and we look forward to seeing you at the 35K recon/試走 next week. Our first Okumusashi-related event <3

Let's enjoy golden week with this convenient and beautiful run, with a relaxing onsen ending. Starting just a couple of minites away from the Okutama station station, the trail passes through Mt.Nokogiri and Mt.Otake (where Fuji could make its apperance) before snaking down to Mt. Mitake and Tsurutsuru onsen with a beautiful, fun downhill.
