Arrived at Murodo by night bus from Tokyo, enjoyed the perfect colors of autumn, amazing yellow and red!! Reached the Tsurugi Gozen Goya (剱御前小舎) mountain hut, checked in and then up to Tsurugi dake!! A couple of big vertical drops, kind of cliffs. Concentration, good grip and footing were necessary. Plenty of chains to enjoy the adventure and a stunning view over Tate yama and Haku san!! Back to Tsurugi Gozen Goya, stayed overnight and the day after climbed Tate yama!! Great weather until it turned in violent hailstorm. Fortunately I had my helmet!!
