  • At 2017m, Mt. Kumotori is the highest point in Tokyo. The scenery is amazing with 360 degree views of the other mountains and if you're lucky, views of Mt. Fuji (we weren't lucky this time!). The hike takes a total of 10-11 hours, starting from Kamosawa trailhead in Okutama. We were also super happy to see monkey's, deer, serow and a grumpy cat lodge owner!

    Hello! This one felt like an action-packed hike - beautiful views, lots of animals and some (maybe?) magical spring water 😂 What animal encounter was your favourite? We thought the grumpy cat lodge owner was pretty cute 😅

      Having somewhere nice to lay our tired bodies at the end of the day was certainly one of the best parts haha! 😂

    Great video! I hiked this in March. I started at Mitsumine shrine, spending a night at the Kumotori lodge and reaching the summit in the morning.
    It was good conditions although there was a lot of snow as I was caught in a blizzard on the second morning.
    I descended down Okutama.
    It’s good to see it again through your video 🤙🏽

      Thanks for watching! Oh nice! I wondered what it was like starting from Mitsumine shrine instead. Those conditions on the second morning sound crazy 😳 Did you have to wait out the weather a bit or was it okay to continue on?

      We were warned but my mate and I just went for it anyway. Our toenails came off due to the cold lol
      Besides all that it was a great hike. Next hike will be Mt Tengu in Nagano.

      Oh my, that is cold 😳 I just looked up Mt. Tengu as it’s the first time I’ve heard of it, it looks like it has great views! Hope you have a great hike!

      Wow, coming from Okutama, those are some steep hills to weather a blizzard in! Some parts are easily 45 degrees. Sounds fun!

    Hello I will be hiking Mt Kumotori in two weeks. I have already reserved my stay for the lodge, but I don't know if I need a permit for the hike? I can't find any information on that. Please can you tell me if I need a permit? Thanks

      We arrived by public transport 😊 We took the train on the Chuo line to Okutama Station and then caught a 40-minute bus to Kamosawa.

    That Mickey in a teapot was sitting in the entrance when I went up there a few months after you in July… got some good mileage out of that in the "creepy" videos I made from the trip. My kids like this one the best: ruclips.net/video/8j8fTmjA9X0/видео.html

    Are you going to climb up 100 Famous Japanese Mountains? Or maybe shikoku pilgrimage? 😆 I enjoy your videos🎉

      @RoyandAimee  Год назад

      Thank you! Yes we would love to do the 100 Famous Mountains! We've only done about 10 so far so we've still got a lot to go 😅 We've heard of the Shikoku pilgrammage but don't know much about it - have you done it?

      Not yet! You can enjoy camping and swimming in the ocean if we are in a summer:)
      Probably its takes to up to 1 month if we threw hiking! Kumanokodo? What’s next your adventure!! I like enjoying local food when I travel somewhere:)

    • @RoyandAimee
      @RoyandAimee  Год назад

      Oh do you live in Shikoku then? 1 month is a long time haha, we'd need to take a bit of time off work! Oh Kumanokodo is definitely on our list. Our next goal is to buy a camping car so we'll be able to travel a lot more. Hopefully we can do it soon!
