Mitake-san

The Ecotwaza management team holds a "MIRAI (future) Meeting" every three months. 2008 Autumn was at Mitake Mountain, an one hour westbound ride from Kunitachi on the Chuo-Ome line.

So we get off at Mitake Station, and take the bus to the trail starting point.
Since we didn't have enough time for hiking, we took the mountain tram from there.

And then here comes the rather funny rope-way. It is a 3 minutes ride, but it turned out that you can easily walk up (We walked on the way back). But you get to enjoy serious looking old people coming down on the other side, kind of cute.

The weather was not clear, unfortunately, but still you can see all around the Kanto Plain from the mountaintop 929m above sea level. It is one of the oldest religious mountains.

Good air, good ideas. The meeting was a success and we departed Mitake-san with bright future in mind.
