Atago(Kyoto) hiking on Nov.24th
Hi IOC folks!!Unfortunately, just only few people are interested in Autumn camp, this year.
So, I decided to organize a one day hike, instead.
Let's go to Atagosan on Nov. 24, shall we?
It will be 5 to 6 hours hike that is started from JR Hozukyou station.
I am planning to meet at 10:00 in JR Hozukyou station.
Autumn leaves should be fantastic in this area, the end of this month!!
Please send your e-mail, if you are interested.
