Buccyo san(仏頂山) and Takamine( 高峰)

This is the first announcement for day-hike to Bucyo-san (仏頂山) area on May 27th, Saturday.

The mountain area is located in western suburbs of Kasama city and around 10 km north from Higashi-Kanto motorway. The gateway to this route is situated besides Ryogon-ji, Buddhism temple (楞厳寺) .

This is a car-basis hike and we are going to park our cars in space below Ryogon-ji. The hike route is straightforward heading to the submit (431 m) but with a bit steep stirs in trees.

A bit disappointing, there is no clear view from the submit and thus we move further from the submit toward the final destination (Mt Takamine: 520 m).

The pass includes several up and down to get the submit.

The view from the Mt Takamine is stunning (correctly speaking, 50 m below the submit) and at the point we are able to look down the motorway and Amabiki yama and Ontake Yama over the road.

Unfortunately after having lunch at the point we have to turn back the same route heading back to the carpark just below Ryogon ji.

The total time schedule would be estimated around 6h including lunch with some short rests.
