Japan Trip 2023!!

It's been 4 long years and a full pandemic, but we are finally heading back to Japan again! Giving me 17 days to enjoy everything the country has to offer. (Because days 18 and 19 will be eaten up by traveling) In hindsight, I wish I had pushed my husband to book a few more days, because I'm just starting to feel it's going to be too short. At least, assuming I don't have to cancel half of my plans due to bad weather or a typhoon destroying every hiking trail in existence just before I arrive. (As happened in 2019...)

We have yet to book our hotels, but that doesn't keep me from creating extensive travel plans that may or may not be the death of me.

For example, I'm currently considering visiting Naritasan Shinso-ji Temple and Naritasan Park on the day of arrival. (Because my husband has never been there, and it's so pretty!) Our plane is scheduled to land at 9:45. So, even if it takes roughly 2 hours to make our way through customs, baggage claim, and to exchange our JR Railpass vouchers, there should be plenty of time to have a look around the area. Of course, we could decide to drop this plan if I realize upon arrival I'm just too sleep-deprived for sightseeing. (We would practically arrive in Japan at my usual bedtime, so I don't expect to sleep much on the airplane. To my body, this day would become an all-nighter! It's exactly for this reason I never do any extensive sightseeing on the day of arrival! Well, until this year... maybe.)

However, I managed to cook up an even more insane plan... You see, we will be spending a week of our stay in the Kyoto/Osaka area. I already pretty much have more places I want to visit than days to go around. And then, we came up with the brilliant idea we might want to throw in a day-tip to visit Hiroshima too. Osaka-Hiroshima is only 2 hours by Shinkansen, so it's honestly not too bad. My husband really wants to visit the Peace Memorial Museum (again), but I'm not entirely sold on the idea. (The Peace Memorial Park was incredibly impressive and do want to visit the museum sometime, but I just feel like this isn't the right year for it somehow.) So then, I had the brilliant idea to combine two plans. I will delay my own arrival in Hiroshima by giving myself a couple hours to visit Himeji Castle in the morning. So, my husband will have time to visit the Peace Memorial Museum. When I'm done in Himeji I make my way over the Hiroshima too, so we can meet up and visit Miyajima together in the afternoon, and then maybe we can explore Hiroshima a bit more in the evening until it's time to catch a train back to Osaka. Brilliant plan, right? *sarcasm*

Only while planning this, did I realize Himeji Castle is actually a lot closer to Osaka (by Shinkansen) than I expected, so... I may return to the drawing board and actually give Himeji its own day. There actually seems to be quite a lot of stuff around the castle itself, so it might warrant more than a two-hour visit. I'll have to figure it out as I plan out the other days.

What probably surprised me most, looking at my rough itinerary was... that I only have 3 days dedicated to Tokyo itself! The days that should have been for Tokyo are slowly getting allocated to an assorted number of other places... Like Mt.Takao, Kamakura, Nikko, Isehara... I fear my days in Tokyo will simply become one big shopping spree. I have spent plenty of time in Tokyo over the years and it will probably be the place I will visit most often in the future, so it's not that big of a deal, but... realizing I am effectively only spending 3 days of my whole trip in Tokyo certainly surprised me.

Either way, like always, I'm planning to blog about my travels... so, look forward to November! That's when the adventure begins!

wonderful weather, wonderful views, but...

My left knee pained a long time ago is keeping the condition well, so some days ago, I hiked after a long time.

However, I needed to climb while checking the condition of it and maybe I think about possible that my knee gets trouble again during walking so I chose a mountainous in Ura-Takao which is low, safe and it has many escape routes.

I start climbing from the Takaosanguchi station of the entrance to the climbing and I went over Mt.Takao and Mt.Kagenobu to Mt. Jinba for about five hours in wonderful weather but the problem didn't come out at my knee.

After lunch at Mt.Jinba, when I start going down from the summit then I felt my both knees were locked and I can't bend them.

I feel a hard hurt trying to bend my both knees and I can't do to go down the trail normally.

I was climbing down very slowly like a snail to the foot of the mountain while I'm getting the shock that my right knee also broke down.

素晴らしい天気、素晴らしい景色、だったのにねぇ……

以前痛めた左膝の調子が良いので、先日、久しぶりに山登りに出掛けた。

本当に膝は万全なのか、その状態を確認しながら登るつもりだったし、もしかしたら歩いているうちにまた痛くなるかもしれないので、標高が低くて安全でエスケープルートの多い裏高尾の山に行くことにした。

登山口の高尾山口駅から登り始め、高尾山、景信山を越え���陣馬山まで約5時間、素晴らしい天気の中を歩いたが、膝に異常は出なかった。

だけど陣馬山で昼食後、山頂から下り始めるや突然両膝がロックされたようになり、曲げられなくなった。

曲げようとする��強く痛むので普通に下ることができない。

右膝まで壊れたことにショックを受けながら、カタツムリのようにのそのそと麓まで下りていったのだった。
