Ome on the first day of fall, 2021. Sawai Station to Ikusabata

Went for a little hike off the Okutama Line in Ome the other day with my buddy, Mike.

We had thought about going to Mitake and Otake a few days before but decided on something a bit less trafficked when our plans turned out to be to go hiking on the holiday.  Good choice.  The top of Iwatakeishi at lunchtime was packed.  I shudder to think what someplace like Hinode or Mitake was like at that time.  


Again, not the most photogenic day...but it's a nice hike if you're interested in the information.  We started at Sawai Station and ended at Ikusabata Station.  Going in the other direction and ending at Sawai Station might be fun.  Below Sawai Station, there are some udon places by the river with outdoor dining.  There is a brewery there with tours, too.  (I think there are tours.  I don't drink so am not interested.)  

You could also do basically the same route starting at Mitake Station.  It was about 9km.  

This area is about an hour and a half from Shinjuku.









Another hike to Iwatakeishi is here

More soon.  I am hoping to get someplace high in the next few weeks!
