🌲 ESCAPE THE TOKYO HEAT — MT. MITŌ WATERFALL & THREE PEAKS

🌲 ESCAPE THE TOKYO HEAT — MT. MITŌ WATERFALL & THREE PEAKS 東京の暑さを抜け出して、涼しい渓流・滝・森・山へ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS EVENT / イベントについて Still hot in Tokyo in September? Let's escape the heat and spend the day in the cool mountain forests of western Tokyo! 🌲💧 While Tokyo can still be hot and humid in early September, the forests of Mt. Mitō offer a refreshing mountain escape, with cool streams, waterfalls, deep beech forests, and mountain air. Join us for a full-day mountain adventure in Hinohara, following mountain streams to Mitō Great Waterfall, climbing through deep forest, crossing the ridgeline, and reaching the three peaks of Mt. Mitō (1,531 m). COOL STREAM → WATERFALL → STEEP FOREST TRAIL → RIDGELINE → THREE PEAKS → MOUNTAIN VIEWS 🌲💧⛰️ https://www.gotokyo.org/en/spot/527/index.html We'll begin at Hinohara Tokyo Citizen's Forest and walk through the forest to Mitō Great Waterfall. From there, the route becomes more adventurous as we follow the mountain stream and climb the Ishiyama Trail toward Mt. Ōsawa and Mushi-kari Pass. We'll then reach Mt. Mitō and explore its three summit peaks — East Peak, Central Peak, and West Peak — before descending through a different forest trail toward Sakaiguchi Pass. Along the way, we'll experience rushing streams, a beautiful waterfall, mossy forest, beech trees, steep mountain trails, ridgelines, and mountain scenery. This is not just a hike to reach a summit. It's a chance to escape the heat, cool down beside mountain streams, explore a beautiful forest, challenge ourselves on the trails, meet new people, and experience a completely different side of Tokyo. Whether you're an experienced hiker, relatively new to hiking, new to Tokyo, visiting Japan, or simply looking for a refreshing summer adventure, you're very welcome to join us! まだまだ暑い9月。東京の暑さを抜け出して、涼しい山へ行きませんか？🌲💧 今回は、檜原村の三頭山へ向かいます。 渓流沿いを歩いて三頭大滝を訪れ、そこから深いブナの森を登り、大沢山、ムシカリ峠を経て、標高1,531mの三頭山を目指します。 https://www.gotokyo.org/en/spot/527/index.html 三頭山では東峰・中央峰・西峰の3つのピークを巡り、帰りは朝とは違うルートを通って鞘口峠へ下山します。 渓流、滝、苔むした森、ブナ林、急登、尾根、そして山頂と、景色や登山の雰囲気が次々と変わっていく、ワクワクするルートです。 都心とはまったく違う、涼しく澄んだ山の空気を楽しみながら、自然の中で体を動かし、新しい仲間と出会い、一緒に東京のもう一つの自然を体験しましょう。 ハイキング経験のある方はもちろん、これから登山を始めたい方、東京に来たばかりの方、日本を旅行中の方、自然の中で新しい人と出会いたい方まで、どなたでも歓迎です！ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌡️ A COOL ESCAPE FROM TOKYO / 東京の暑さから逃げよう Mt. Mitō rises from around 1,000 m to 1,531 m above sea level and is surrounded by dense forest and mountain streams. The elevation, shade, and flowing water create a much cooler environment than central Tokyo — making this an ideal late-summer escape. 三頭山周辺は標高約1,000mから山頂1,531mの高地にあり、深い森林と渓流に囲まれています。 標高、木陰、そして渓流の水によって、都心とは違った涼しい山の環境を楽しむことができます。 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📅 SCHEDULE / スケジュール 8:40 AM / 8:40 – Meet at Musashi-Itsukaichi Station JR武蔵五日市駅に集合 We will meet at Musashi-Itsukaichi Station and take the bus together to the mountains. 武蔵五日市駅で集合し、参加者全員でバスに乗って山へ向かいます。 9:00 AM / 9:00 – Take the bus to Kazuma 数馬行きバスに乗車 Around 9:55 AM / 9:55頃 – Arrive at Kazuma 数馬バス停到着 9:59 AM / 9:59 – Free connecting bus to Hinohara Tokyo Citizen's Forest 檜原都民の森行き無料連絡バスに乗車 Around 10:15 AM / 10:15頃 – Arrive at Hinohara Tokyo Citizen's Forest 檜原都民の森到着 10:15–10:30 AM / 10:15〜10:30 – Restroom, preparation & introductions トイレ・登山準備・自己紹介 We'll take a few minutes to use the restroom, get ready for the hike, introduce ourselves, and go over the route and safety information before starting. トイレや登山準備を済ませた後、参加者同士で簡単に自己紹介をし、ルートや安全上の注意事項を確認してから出発します。 10:30 AM / 10:30 – Start hiking 🌲 ハイキング開始 Around 11:00 AM / 11:00頃 – Mitō Great Waterfall 💧 三頭大滝到着 11:00–11:25 AM / 11:00〜11:25 – Waterfall & stream time 滝・渓流で休憩 Enjoy the cool mountain air, listen to the sound of the water, take photos, and relax by the waterfall before continuing into the forest. 涼しい空気と水の音を楽しみながら、写真を撮ったり、少し休憩してから登山を再開します。 11:25 AM / 11:25 – Continue hiking 登山再開 Around 12:30 PM / 12:30頃 – Mt.
