Derek planned a great day of hiking for us at Mt. Takao, about an hour's train ride from Tokyo. We started out with a picnic lunch by a stream, then Louis went into the backpack and we had a rugged hike up. Louis loved getting out at the top and running around for a while - though I think he enjoyed sitting and eating cashews better than the gorgeous view of Mt. Fuji! We took an easier route going down and stopped about halfway to admire a Temple, visit the monkey park, and then coast to the bottom in a cable car.
On the way up.

Stopping near the top.

View of Mt. Fuji from the top.

Tokyo sprawl.

Cool looking gate with angry guy statues (near the temple).

Louis naps on the way down...wish someone would carry me.
