We made it back from our hike in Okutama alive.
The first night was a challenge for Tomoe, who has troubles with cold. Despite being in a hut, out of the wind and waves, she was wearing all of the clothes she brought (4 layers?) as well as her own rain gear and mine.
Somehow she still claims to be have been cold. I, on the other hand, was sweating in my "summer" sleeping bag.
It was a great hike, and I am sure we will be back (planning to go back next week). HIghlights included great (free) huts, amazing sunrise views of a snow-capped Mt. Fuji, rain in the morning, and beautiful fall colors (still).
More about that later?
