TAXIDERMY TANOOKI ON MT. GOZAISHO

Over the weekends, I joined some members of my hiking club for a day going up Mt. Gozaisho (御在所岳) in Mie prefecture. It's a great day hike from the town of Yunoyama Hot Springs.


Gozaisho is one of those mountains that has been developed. If you're not a hiker, there's a ropeway going to the top as well as a restaurant and vending machine to greet weary hikers. In the midst of the development, I was still able to see some wildlife. If you're wondering, it is a Japanese tanuki.
