Roaming Tokyo - Jimba-san to Shoto-san

The world past Takao...
Just about every Tokyo resident has been to Takao at least once.  It's a great place, but sometimes it feels like every Tokyo resident is there at the same time.

If you continue past Takao, though, and onto Jimba-san, the mood quickly chan
ges.  You're no longer in Tokyo's backyard, you're into a rougher set of mountains.

Jimba-san, despite its crazy horse (see the Flickr photos), is a very nice place with lots of wide open grass for picnics and quick naps.

Continuing west to Shoto-san you start finding some steep inclines & rough trails.  
Nice to know you can still find Japan's wild heart near the city, if you know where to look!
