• Ise Grand Shrine

  

  Taking a detour to Ise Grand Shrine (伊勢神宮) recently on the way to Koyasan in Wakayama prefecture was a delight. Once again visitors were few which meant more time to slow down and enjoy the scenery.

• Tōkaidō – Walking in Kuwana

  

  These little day trips are proving to be just the ticket. A dip into history, a new corner of Japan, and exercise to boot. Being fairly central, I get to choose.

• Hiking: Mie Coast – Mt. Tsubonegachō – Mt Hoppō

  

  This was a good hike. Starting at sea level and climbing up to 310m to the summit of Mt. Tsubonegachō (局ヶ頂) it had deserted beaches, solid climbs, wonderful views along the Mie coast, and an encounter with a wild boar. Sketchy in a few places due to being right on the cliff edge it wasn’t…

• Walking: The Ise-ji from Takihara to Kii Nagashima

  

  Inspired, I decided to take a walk. Takihara to Kii Nagashima, in Mie prefecture is a mere blip on a map but enough of a challenge to test a walking novice’s resolve.

• Hiking: Shakagadake・釈迦岳

  

  Japan hasn’t been forced into self-isolation yet which honestly is quite worrying. Why is the rest of the world locking its doors while Japan isn’t?

• Hiking: Kumano Kodo and Owase Hiking Trail

  

  I won’t pretend to know what I’m talking about when writing about the Kumano Kodo (熊野古道) so I’ll keep this post short and suggest you go over to Craig Mod’s wonderful www.walkkumano.com for all the info you need (and buy the book). You’ll be in good hands. I cycled past this mountain pass on the…

• Hiking: Shakagadake・釈迦ヶ岳

  

  First hike of the year. Shakagadake (釈迦ヶ岳) next to Mt. Gozaisho in Mie prefecture was challenging in places with a couple of almost vertical accents and loose rocks but well worth it.

• Hiking: Mt. Gozaisho・御在所岳

  

  Mt. Gozaisho – This was our fourth time hiking up there this year, including one snow hike, and there’s every chance it will soon become five when the autumn colours are on full display. We were probably at least a week too early this time to see Mt. Gozaisho’s colours in their full glory but…
