Our guests were a group of seventeen (17) students from overseas studying at Tokyo Metropolitan University led by their teacher.
TENGU guides included Nabe, Comson, Rie, Yuko, Yoko and Shiro (myself).
At the peak of
Mt. Takao
The weather was reasonably good so that
we managed to see high-rise buildings in Shinjuku and Tokyo Skytree from
Sumika-mae Observation Deck while it wasn’t good enough unfortunately for a
clear view of Mt. Fuji from the peak of Mt. Takao.

After having lunch, we took group photos
and left the peak of the mountain around 1 pm.
On the way back, we took a different route following Iroha no Mori Trail, then switching to Trail No. 4 which merges back into Trail No. 1.

of a group of some 90 Japanese monkeys.
