Friday Weekday Hike

(Easy Course) (1000 yen Participation Fee) (Canceled in case of rain)

The hike is not so difficult and is about a 3 hour walk.  We meet at Futamatao Station at  10:25AM. From Shinjuku Station, take the 9:02 Express train going towards Toyoda.  This arrives at Tachikawa Station at 9:40.  Get off and go to the Oume line, taking the 9:44 train going towards Oume. Take this to Oume, arriving at 10:14, and go across the platform and take the 10:15 train towards Okutama.  This train arrives at Futamatao Station at 10:24.  Be sure to arrive by this time since we will be unable to wait for the next train.

From here, we hike up to Atago Shrine – Mt. Atago ‘584 meters) – Mt. Mimuro (647 meters) – Yoshino Plum Park – and then go down to Hinatawada Station.
