Hike from Yoshino Baigo Plum Park to Mount Hinode & Mount Mitake

After the plum festival at Yoshino Baigo in Ome, I went on a hike to Mount Hinode and Mount Mitake. At the end of the day, I took the Mitake funicular to get down to the valley then walked from the lower station to the Mitake train station.

Here is a map of the path I walked (download KML):
