Day Seven



The seventh day in Japan. We were having lots of fun and exploring places 
on our own. Today the morning wakeup was the most exciting. We had a full 
free day to explore and decided to visit Mt. Takao(600mts high). I was more excited as 
it is my favorite thing to do, 'The Trekking'.
After having stomach filling breakfast we all left for our destination. 
Changing metros from iidabashi to Shinjuku and ahead taking a kieo line for 
Takao Sanguchi. We reached the station after 2 hours of traveling.





The view is so beautiful that we could not stop clicking the photographs. We even saw the making of noodles. It was so nice to see that.
We did a little shopping of snacks and went towards the ticket counter for 
chair lift. On the way met a new friend, a cute doggy.








The chair lift experience was the greatest. The sceneries, cold chilling 
wind was mesmerizing. Felt never to get down of the chair and we reached 
the top.

From here we decided to trek to the mountain top and chose the trail. It 
was a 2.5km beautiful pleasant trail. Trail full of fun and masti. Greeting all people meeting on the way saying konichiwa (hello) arigato (Thank you) and then in hindi namaste and shukriya was great fun.












we reached the top and the view, just froze looking at the beauty created by god. could see the whole city down. i was just feeling like a bird flying freely in the sky.
clicked many selfies and were enjoying the natures beauty.



we went into a hotel there to refill our self’s. some had the soba noodles and some were happy with Pringles and dry fruits. we even tasted the sake. (Japanese drink). 







as it became sunset we started trekking down. and decided to experience the cable car. the steepest cable car in Japan. it was a great experience and enjoyed the thrill.
we did a little shopping and left for Shinjuku. 


Shinjuku the entertainment city. its just wow. we saw the Godzilla head and the Imax theatre. it was just wow!

we roamed a little bit and left for Iidabashi. the day ended by an adventure of sitting in a rapid train and reaching Tokyo and again searching for the local to reach our home place, Iidabashi! 
finally after the adventurous day we reached back at 10pm and enjoyed our sleep.
