Yet another month so yet another trip up a mountain with the hiking club. This time we climbed not one mountain but three, thus the name Takamizusanzan (高水三山). The weather was quite nice except for being a little humid, which is a sign that means summer is coming soon. The mountains are in the Okutama region of Tokyo, which is a really nice natural area that makes you wonder that you are actually still in Tokyo. The mountains were only about an hour away from my station this time, so it was fairly convenient to get there. This time we made ‘tonjiru’ at the top which is a meat and vegetable miso soup. It was, as always, very good. It was a fun trip with all kinds of interesting terrain and views. When we got down off the mountain, we went to a traditional ‘onsen’. Afterwards, I even made it back in time for a party in my building

3 mountains can be confusing
