Hike to Mount Oyama (Tanzawa Mountains)

A few weeks ago, I went back to Mount Takao, in Hachioji City, in western Tokyo. This time, the objective was to hike all the way to Mount Jinba, passing through the summits of Mount Kobotoke-Shiroyama and Mount Kagenobu along the way. Although it started to rain quite heavily at some stage, I still had a great time.
Showa Kinen Park (aka Showa Memorial Park) is a large park (163ha) in Tachikawa City, Tokyo. Until the 4th of November, it is home to the Cosmos Flower Festival. It also offers many other interesting sights and activities.
Last week, I went on a hike to Mount Tsukuba (筑波山), in the city of Tsukuba (Ibaraki Prefecture), north-east of Tokyo.
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).
Last weekend, I went on a trip to the south of France: Avignon, known as the “City of Popes”, on Saturday and Marseille, France’s 2nd largest city, on Sunday.

Yesterday, I went for a walk in Paris and took many pictures. Above, the entrance to the Jardin des Tuileries.
I haven’t posted in a very long time but I am still alive and in Vancouver. Here are some pictures I took in the last few months. Above, the Burrard inlet from the Vancouver Lookout at Harbour Centre.
