Two days left on our unlimited Japan Rail Pass.
Julie and Phil's last day in Japan.
Nobody wanted to join Jen and I on our trek to Mt. Takao.
What? Climbing a mountain in 35 degree weather doesn't appeal to you?
Wimps.
It was hot. Hotter than yesterday. But then, we say that everyday. Straight shot on the train out of Musashi-sakai (our local) station. Technically, still Tokyo. The scenery is gorgeous. And the mountain steep. Do not leave home without your sweat towel!
Us at the top.
Us at a torii.
Us at a shrine.
Sweet staring contest. I would have won, but he made me laugh!
Some huge trees on the trek down Takao-san.
Our uneducated assumption is that these are prayers.
There's a whole lot of city out there. Did you know that the equivalent of the entire population of Canada lives in the Greater Tokyo Area? Think about it. It explains a lot.

You're not really standing at the top of Mt. Takao, you're standing in front of a giant Hokusai painting....I mean, that line of mountain-meets-sky behind you is unreal!!!
Tell me on your last days you're going here:
