1) Hakone Fall Foliage
(Easy Course) (Cancelled in case of heavy rain) (￥1000 Participation Fee)
The tall grasses there cover the hillside for hundreds of meters, changing color with the seasons and offering stunning views, especially during the autumn when the grasses turn a shimmering, silvery gold color. The temple grounds are one of Hakone’s nicer spots to enjoy the autumn colors.

WHAT TO BRING
Wear old clothing that you do not mind getting dirty, and please wear
long pants. Bare legs are not recommended because they can easily get
cut from objects like cut river reeds. Also, a hat is recommended,
especially during the summer months, and please bring lots of liquids
to
drink. Bringing gloves is also recommended but we usually have some
extra pairs available to loan out. Then please come with proper
footwear
or not sandals and so on.
ADDITIONAL INFO
If you come late, it will be about a 25 min. walk to our location on
the island under the elevated C2 highway between the Kasaibashi Bridge
and the Shinjuku Line train bridge but much closer to the Shinjuku
Line
Bridge. Call James (the organizer’s) cell phone 090-1847-5075 if
there
are any problems finding us.
RAIN
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled.
Please bring rain gear and we will take shelter (under a bridge) until
any downpours let up. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds
(e.g.,
typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled
(and
usually moved to a different day).
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the
same time.
