Itinerary
- 05:20am. Train, Nakano Station to Saruhashi Station. You'll likely have to transfer once, such as Takao Station.
- 06:47am. Arrival, Saruhashi Station. Start hike. The trail was well marked, but here's the google maps pin for the parking lot near the trailhead, and if I remember correctly there's only one road up the place. Unfortunately I only took this road going down so I'm not that certain, sorry.
- 09:20pm. ETA: Mt. Momokura (百蔵山). Long break at the picnic table, looking at Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms. Head down.
- 12:10pm. Saruhashi Station (猿橋駅).
