The last two pictures of Takao :). #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
Back at the base of the mountain. Isn't it beautiful? I miss Takao. #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
After being lost for a bit, a very sweet older couple helped me find my way back to familiarity. I think about them a lot, and hope for the best for them! This was going down Takao on the easy path #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
Looking at these stairs reminds me that, I was in fact, going further from the base of the mountain at this point like I wanted haha. I kept going though thinking it'd go down eventually. #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
In the last pic I came across a little lizard! It's at the edge of the stone step in the upper part of it. My camera wasn't fast enough to catch him sooner. #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
I wish I got closer to the stone area, but I was worried about it not being allowed, and thought against it. I wonder what's inside. #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
I almost 2 see big foot, or some type of cryptid in the 2nd pic!

I had so many tiny rocks in my shoe at this point, all my fault. I didn't bring the right shoes haha! Live and learn!

After the shrines I continued my way up to the summit! This was one of the paths up!

You can spin the wheel inside of the post. I know the one character showing is 6, or at least sometimes 6 lol! I'm no expert and definitely won't claim to be. #MountTakao #TokyoJapan #Photography #Fudou-doShrine #HachiojiCity #Travel #Tourist #Nature
Takaosan Fudou-do! I prayed here as well :).

I got a tengu charm here, for protection. I keep it on my purse every day. #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
A monk procession came through! I loved seeing it. #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
This was the BEST spot in the mountain! I bought some items here too :).

My time went by way too fast here.

Kitsune are messengers to the gods! #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
I believe people donate to have the slats placed into this area. #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
This is what perfection looks like.
#MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
The energy here was unreal!
#MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
What a beautiful world we live in.

My dream is to travel as much as I can, so that I can see more places like this. #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
I overheard a grandfather telling his grandkids that these shoes were Tengu Geta! They're massive! #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
This area was full of Tengu, the guardians of the mountain! #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #Tourist #Travel #Photography #Sacred #Shrine
I got a nice picture of the mountain map! It brings me back to being there!

I bet the lanterns are pretty lit up at night.

The cedar trees here were MASSIVE. They are also sacred! Please respect them if you visit. This Shrine was right after the monkey/flower park. #MountTakao #HachiojiCity #TokyoJapan #ScaredCedarTree #Shrine
The plant with the yellow dots is so cute!

Nature is just lovely, and Japan sure knows it!
