Finally, I arrived at the upper station with an altitude of 2,000m.

 

There is a garden with a coffee shop and a restaurant, there.

 

It was a fine day. The summit of Mt. Nikko-shirane could be seen well.

 

The deity of the mountain is enshrined in Futarasan Shrine, too.

 

There are mountain paths to the summit of the mountain. Many hikers left for hiking.

 

Some trees had started changing the color of their leaves already.

 

I stayed at the garden and enjoy the view and a cup of tea.

 

During my stay, clouds started to come up to the height of the garden.

 

Finally, the cloud/fog had covered the garden. Then, I decided to go down.

 

End.
