Mount Daisen: Beech Forest

Descending into the beech forest
Emboldened by last week’s adventure, I set off with the intention of following the popular route to Misen Peak (弥山). From the other end of Motodani dam, the Gyojadani course (行者谷コース) immediately begins to rise. At first, there’s a little weaving through forest. Thereafter, the path climbs up a ridge. Meeting another path, it continues up the adjoining ridge, passing a hut (六合目) at stage six. The condition of my boots deteriorated as quickly as the mist had appeared. At 1500m, the sole of one one of my boots abruptly decided to part company. Held on with a little remainder at each end and some Micropore tape, I reluctantly turned back. The alternate route through a misty beech forest brought some consolation. There were hundreds of mushrooms to be seen and I still had my champon noodles.
