Ogose hike


A Long but not so hard hike, on the gentle hills of Ogose, in Saitama, about an hour from Tokyo.
The hike start at the little falls in kuroyama, and makes it's way though hills, toward Ogose city.
The roads very well maintained and mostly paved, in unpopulated areas, great views, and with many temples along the route dedicated to the 7 Chinese fortune’s gods.
It took us 6 hours to complete the 13.7 km as we stopped on all interesting points along the route.
Around the beginning of spring Ogose celebrates a Plum flower viewing festival official site in Japanese, highly recommended to go around this time to enjoy the blooming trees around the route.
