Hiking Mount Tsukuba Part 3 (2012-12-03)

Finally we are there! Only took us two and a half hours! (my friend wanted to kill me for taking too many rest stops)

300m up to the left is Mt. Nantai (Male mountain), 650m up to the right is Mt. Nyotai (Female mountain) After hiking for nearly three hours, can't believe I forgot that friggin' 300m to the Male mountain!

Miyukigahara is a flat plateau

Let's just enjoy the view from Miyukigahara

My legs are killing me and I'm starving

We chose to lunch at this revolving restaurant

Menu

First floor souvenir shop is totally unmanned for as long as we were there

Cute stuff

Frog merchandise is big in Mount Tsukuba

No sticky Japanese fingers anywhere

Mini revolving cashier section within the bigger revolving dining floor

Rows of tables

To order: pick your own table, place the order at the cashier, pay and you'll be handed a number and the food will be brought to your table

Keep seeing this helicopter

My ramen

Tasted so-so but hugely satisfying when you're starving and thirsty

Friend's spicy udon

You can go up the roof top

Kinda warm that day

View from the roof

Looking down

Don't know if that's Male or Female mountain
