Mt Raizan in the Snow January 2018

In mid January, 
we had two days of snowfall on the mountains of Fukuoka.
So we quickly grabbed our cameras, 
put on our hiking gear and set off to explore...
Ahum, it's not really exploring anymore as we know this place already so well...
....but the snow...... That's a Bonus.

These pictures tell the story.
Mt Raizan, the highest peak in this picture is our goal.
But first a pit-stop is at and around the famous

Sennyoji Temple.



































Usually it takes me 2 hours to climb to the top of Mt Raizan.
The snow made it slow going:  2 hours and a half.

The scenery and atmosphere was awesome.
Lucky to have been able to start early AM, only a few other hikers had been there before.
Going down, the trail was already flattened by the many food-steps.

Salute.
