The Summit was not good

When I reached the summit, many people who were not climbers were there. I could see cars parked.
Basically, I don't like mountain which be reached summit by car.
I comfort myself by forcing me to think it was good climbing because the road to the summit was very nice.

Great gate of the temple

There was a great gate in front of the summit. Mark of Mouri who was a Samurai reader of Hiroshima area in age of civil wars was printed at the flag which hung under the roof. Was the temple constructed by Mouri ?

Landscape of Setouchi-sea

As I was tired near the middle point, I had a rest at the place which had a good landscape.
I had't climbed well in those days, I felt tired and pain at my legs. Muscles for climbing must be different with for bicycle. I understood.

Hard slope

Climbing road of Mt. Gokurakuji-yama was hard more than I'd imagined.
It was famous mountain, because I met many climbers until I'd reached the summit.

Entrance of climbing road

After I reached Hatsukaichi station by train, I walked to the entrance of climbing road of Mt. Gokurakuji-yama.
The entrance was there in the town. I could reached there easily by using smart phone. It was a useful item. But, my sense of judgement by watching map must be decreasing.

First climbing was at Mt. Gokurakuji-yama

New year climbing was at Mt. Gokurakuji-yama.  Gokura is a Japanese which means heaven.　"～ji" neans temple. So the mountain's name means temple of heaven.
I'd never climbed the mountain. It was there in the city Hatsukaichi.

Sunrise color leaves

Sunrise colored leaves. It was very beautiful.
It look like warm. But, it was very cold in the mountain.
