OKUTAMA HIKING and Plum Blossoms!

(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  11:59AM. From Shinjuku Station, take the 10:48 Super Express train going towards Takao.  This arrives at Kokubunji Station at 11:06.  Get off and go to the Oume line, taking the 11:07 train going towards Oume. Take this to Oume, arriving at 11:45, and go across the platform and take the 11:45 train towards Okutama.  This train arrives at Futamatao Station  11:57.  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.
