Meet at the JR Ohme Line’s Okutama Station’s Ticket Gate at 9:55AM.  From Shinjuku, take the Chuo Line Holiday Special Express going towards Okutama at 8:19. This goes all the way to Okutama Station, arriving at 9:54AM (but be sure to get on the right part of the train which goes to Okutama, and beware that the platform may not be the regular Chuo Line Platform at Shinjuku (probably leaves from platform #7).

Be sure to arrive on this train as we will be unable to wait for the next one.

The hike will be Okutama Station – Anjizawa – Mt. Honita – Mt. Kobutaka –  Oneyama Shrine – Hatonosu Station

The hiking time is about 5 hours.

Please don’t forget to have your rucksack and exercise or tracking shoes to avoid  injury.

After the hike, those who want to go are welcome to join David and others to Tachikawa (on the way back to Tokyo) to see the Illumination there and have a “Farewell to 2019 drink.”
