We will meet at the ticket gate of Higashi Moro at 10:40AM. From Ikebukuro, take the Tobu Tojo Line’s Express Train at 9:30 and change at Sakado (arriving here at 10:13) to the Tobu Ogose Line. Take the 10:25AM Tobu Ogose Line train to Higashi Moro Station. It arrives there at 10:38AM.
There are roses, irises and hydrongea on this course. The course we take will depend on which flowers are blooming, but we’ll probably do this one:
Higashi Moro Station – Rose Garden – Iris field – Hydrongea Road – Mt. Hanamagari – Higashi Moro Station
The hike itself is about 5 hours. Should be a lot of fun! The train fare is 630 Yen one-way from Ikebukuro.
If you’d like to go together from Ikebukuro, get on the front of the 9:30 Tobu Tojo Line train from there.
