Special Niboshi ramen. This was so good!!! One of the best ramen I have had so far in Tokyo.
Hike to Mount Takao & Lake Sagami
Last Friday, I went to the western area of Tokyo known as Hachioji and hiked up Mount Takao (599m). From the summit, I followed a trail for a bit and, at the end of the day, found myself near Lake Sagami.
Hiking in Nikko: Chanokidaira, Lake Chuzenji, Senjogahara, Lake Yunoko
I went to Nikko (Tochigi Prefecture) last Wednesday. It is a mountainous area not far from Tokyo (~2h from Asakusa station). It is especially known for its historical sites (shrines, temples) but, since I had already visited those before, I instead went hiking in the Oku-Nikko area (奥日光).
