This is one of the reasons I love Japan! I took a group of 7 lovely ladies to Takao-san, for the most part repeating the hike I lead back in September during my first weekend in Japan. We started at Takao-san guchi, took the river trail to the summit, followed the ridge to Shiro-yama, then hiked down to Sagami Lake. It was a カンペキ perfect Autumn day, and snow-covered Mt. Fuji was shining in the sunlight.
