9 people hiked in Numazu Alps. We started from Numazu station and walked to Kanuki-yama. From there we hiked to Washizu-san, where we had lunch. We then walked a bit more and descended to the sea side, where we took a bus back to Numazu station.

Kirill Kryukov: Numazu Alps is enjoyable as always. We had a very cheerful team and a fun hike. Despite small height of the peaks, this course is a good challenge, with trail climbing up or down most of the time. Will a monkey travel that trail in one day? Probably not, monkeys are quite smart. Note to self: use a tripod. Note to everyone: bring more water.
