We took a mini trail from Miyukigahara to see a wishing rock which is said to be 500m away but we never found it

The mini trail starts off tame then gets steep with lots of steps

Failing to see the rock, we back tracked

and headed

toward Female mountain

First sightseeing spot on the way is Katakurinosato, this is where one can see wild purple lilies from late March to late April

Then there's this Sekireinoishi (Rock of the Japanese Wagtail)

Legend says a Wagtail stood on this rock to teach people about men and women (alright then)

After that, there's this restaurant/shop

near this tiny shrine

The last sightseeing spot is this Frog Rock

Description for those who understand Japanese

More steep climb?!

Almost there

Past this little shrine

is the summit! For the life of me I just couldn't get up those rocks, my legs turn to jelly about 20 feet from those people. I guess I'm acrophobic?

Mount Tsukuba 877m high

The helicopter again, just over our heads
