Climbing the Cloud-Catcher - 雲取り山

Kumotori-san - The Cloud Catcher
Over Golden Week we took a trip to the highest mountain in the Tokyo Prefecture - Kumotori-san.

Kumotori-san means "Cloud Catcher" in Japanese, and if you check out the photos, you'll really see what I mean.

We were literally walking in the clouds for most of the trip!

Home Sweet Home
Our hiking plan allowed us to spend one full day on the mountain, which allowed us to make a nice two day home on the mountain.

As you know, nothing beats home-cooking, and Guy was our master-chef for all our major meals!

Sites to remember
It was an amazing hike with a lot of great sites and adventures, but one that really sticks with me is the amazing bridge leading to the Mitsumine Shrine at the end of our hike.

There's nothing famous about it, but it's amazing what you can find in the Japan country side!
