Day 10: Still hiking

Ahem..

Armed with plenty of water and tasty Japanese snacks we continued on the 6 hour hike up the mountain. As I continued to climb, I eventually tucked my camera away into my hiking backback for fear of a fall ending my photo taking. The ground was pretty slick in certain areas so I decided to play it safe.



Directions. Not much help.





Another waterfall.




I liked the root systems that were probably revealed through the slow erosion of the soil over hundreds of years.




Each large tree here had a name. I forgot what this one was, but it was I think almost one thousand years old. Like Jomon's little baby brother.
