Sorry to our north of Tokyo hiking adventurers but we're going to head south again to capture the ocean views. Let's enjoy the scenery of the coastline from the peak of Shiroyama comprised of Sagami Bay, Izu Peninsula, Hatsushima, and Oshima.. We have hiked the Iwatayama course many times starting at Yugawara but instead will not be headed in the direction of Atami. This hike will also afford us historical sites along the way. We also enjoy the onsen and fish dinner selections for dinner in Yugawara. The dinner and onsen are all optional but serve as a great way to spend a Saturday.
We expect to hike around 13Km, 4 hours in motion, and about the height of Takao-san.
We will meet at the front car of Takaido Line (for Atami) at Shinagawa station, Platform 12. Our outbound departure will be at 8:26am. We will arrive and start the hike at Yugawara station - at 9:59 am. You are welcome to join us anywhere as the train runs. Main stops of Tokaido are Yokohama at 8:44, Fujisawa 9:05, Odawara at 9:43.
Please make sure you bring the necessary equipment/clothes for a hike and after the onsen. Hiking sticks are suggested, definitely lunch and at least two liters of water. Hats and sunscreen are a must.
Please note that you are responsible for your own safety and well being - the leaders on this hike are not professional hikers. Sun and heat exhaustion can occur during summer hikes and you should be prepared or aware of this. Hiking insurance is suggested but not mandatory.
Rain cancels the hike - Please let me know of your intent to attend.
