Mt. Tsukuba Trail Junction at Dawn, Ibaraki

English

Caught the soft sunrise light filtering through the forest at a trail junction on Mt. Tsukuba — April hiking season in full swing! The signboards showing different routes (女体山頂コース and 迎場コース) had me grinning at the choices ahead. Nothing beats that early-morning mountain air and the quiet before the day truly wakes up.

筑波山のトレイル分岐で朝日を浴びた！4月、桜の季節も過ぎた新緑の時期に来たけど、この静寂と朝の空気は最高だな。女体山頂コースと迎場コースの看板を見ながら、どのルートで進もうか — そういう瞬間が登山の醍醐味。
