Day 2 in Hakuba, from Hakuba to Tengu pound

Today, Kofu is very sunny and merry, the air is comfortable and I am doing a lot of laundry... feeling happy. I should try to translate but my English is just out of practice, I have lost passion for English speaking for I don't need this skill right now... I hardly ever spoke English. My passion for now is
focused on the mountains  I read about it, I think about it, I walk on it. Spent long hours thinking and planning.

English was only a tool for me from a beginning... still it is imperfect tool,  but I have lot a passion of perfecting it, since my aim is to communicate with people, not English it self. So I welcome any questions for this trip if you are English speaker and need information on this routes, i.e, bus fair and others...  Japanese version I wrote precisely but this English version, expected readers are my friends overseas so they are not interested in those info.

Day 2 in the trip.

This is the test site of Hakuba chojo Hut,

I was hurrying to the next destination since I want to finish the day's walk by early afternoon.

Thunderstorm could often hit in mountains in Japan, after 14:00 pm.

Finally I am on the top of the mountain and the route from here is connecting peaks to peaks. as you can see.

The land of Japan is made really by mountains... endlessly you can see only ridges...

I have reached Mt.Shakushi soon, but forgotten to take a photo.

Cooking area for travelers. Open for 24 hours.

You can use the front room to cook and eat.

Some people die by slipping off from the trails in this route... so if you are not fit and confident 
enough, you are not well prepared for this route, Kaerazu no Ken...
 　

They sell many drinks including draft beer 800 yen.

In Japan, we use Gas, not a Gasoline.
