We expect to start hiking around 10 AM.

2/ We will take the cable car to go up to Mt. Mitake and we will descend to Okutama (see chart below)
The GPX route can be downloaded here https://www.strava.com/routes/18676965 (please ignore anything that refers to trail run and expected time)

I expect to be down in Okutama around roughly 17:00-18:00. However there is an onsen near Okutama (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Okutamaonsen+Moegi+Hot+Spring/@35.8079131,139.100535,15.24z/am=t/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x6019373e10b0d201:0x62ea5b8e7ca7aed2!8m2!3d35.8046162!4d139.102613) we can get there after the hike as a proper end of the day.

Roughly back to Tsukuba by 21:00 or so.

Report for the hike at Mt Mitake.

The participant to the hike were Luca, Kumiko, Kiri, Sanu, Pranshu.

We left Tsukuba station sharp according to plan (6:57) and we started hiking 9:40.
We walked from the Mitake station to the cable car (instead of taking the bus). We started the hike from Mitake-san (we reach it with the cable car) at 11:15, we visited the shrine and took some touristic photos there :-)
The weather was warm and humid, not too sunny - still pleasant.

We stopped for lunch + power naps at 12:30 for about 30-45 minutes. We walked with a steady pace and we made 3-4 stops for resting, drinking and eating snacks. We crossed Mt. Odaki and Mt. Nokogiri

We reached Okutama at 17:10.

After 1 hour in the onsen (it was quite busy and we had to wait 15-20 minutes before entering) we headed back to Tsukuba. We took the train in Okutama at 19:26 reaching Tsukuba at 22:16.
