Mt. Dougo-yama

Mt. Dougo-yama was very nice. It was one of 300 famous mountains in Japan. But, climber who stayed there was us only.
It was because of the news which said that bear appeared there. Many climbers afraid bear and stopped to climb it.
During we climbed, we used bell for resist bears and watched around us.

Could see mountains

When we watched south side, we could see mountains in Hiroshima pref. and Setouchi-sea.
What a good landscape it was !

could see Mt. Daisen

We could see wide grass field around us. I could remembered the grass field of Mt. Kujyu-san and Mt. Aso-san. I could't think that there was such a nice mountain in Hiroshima pref.
We could see Mt. Daisen over there. Mt. Daisen is one of 100 famous mountains in Japan. And it was first one of the 100 mountains which my son climbed. About 4 years passed from then. Time passes quickly.

Mt. Iwatsuki-yama

After we through forest, we reached to ridge line. And we reached summit of Mt. Iwatsuki-yama. It was there at near Mt. Dougo-yama.
There were no barrier around the mountain. We could see 360° around us. There were many mountains under side of us. It was very nice landscape.
It was very hard wind, because of no barrier around there. So, we left there after we enjoyed watching landscape enough.

Climbed in beautiful forest

I'd heard a news that bear appeared in Mt. dougo-yama. So, we hanged a bell. And we walked with watching around us.
As it was first time after sunrise, leaves were wet and the air was very clear and high humidity. So, we could climbed with nice feelings. I thought it was nice mountain.

Climbed 2 mountains in north area of Hiroshima pref.

I climbed Mt. Dougo-yama and Mt. Ouigatsuji-yama with my son today. They were there at most far away place in Hiroshima pref. from our home. They were there at border line between Hiroshima pref. and Tottori pref.
We left our home at 4:00 AM and reached at 7:00 AM. I drove about 3 hours. I'd already tired before climbing. When we reached the park, no other cars were there. We arrive first. We could expect silent and lonely climbing.

Coffee

We entered coffee shop. My wife selected it from sightseeing magazine. The style was cool. Smell of coffee was very nice.
We ate coffee and cake there.
After we drunk coffee, we left the island by the ship and returned to home.
It was nice small journey for us.
