Technical considerations/difficulty: This portion of the trail is very suited to trail running. No ropes, chains or ladders. Your grandmother could do it.
Facilities: Lots of viewpoints. One public toilet on the way.
Thoughts/observations/recommendations: I'm sure there are nice views to be had on a clear day. If you hike in Tokyo, you've surely passed through Ome Station. If you've never exited the station, you should. It's a nice area to walk around. It's famous for having old movie posters around. And for cats. There is cat-themed artwork all over the place. Hence, it's the purrfect place to visit.
I was happy that the cave boy (my son) was available to come to the mountains today. Being a Japanese high school kid, his time is at a premium. We were able to squeeze a few hours out of his studies for a walk on the trail from Ome Station to Futamatao Station. It wasn't very clear so it was not the best day for pictures of the mountains. The best pictures of the day were of the cave boy.
