The view from Kakogen Parking. The volcano is emitting smoke.
The mountain trail leads us to the summit for an hour, but I didn’t go far from the parking this day.
I just enjoyed the volcanic landscape there.
The trees and shrubs had already started changing the color of their leaves.
The lunch of this day, a plate of deep-fried scallops
End.
