(Not Difficult Course)

We will meet at the ticket gate of Ogose at 11:00AM.　From Ikebukuro, take the Tobu Tojo Line’s Express Train at 9:45 and change at Sakado (arriving here at 10:28) to the Tobu Ogose Line. Take the 10:40AM Tobu Ogose Line train to the end (Ogose Station). It arrives at Ogose at 10:58AM. From here, we hike by a nice temple, up a small mountain, and down to Ogose Plum Tree Park, which should be in bloom and has 1,000 trees, with some being 600 years old.

The hike itself is about 3.5 hours.　Should be a lot of fun! The train fare is 700¥ one-way.
