忘れ去られた神秘の廃道・横小路道 〜生駒山とは思えない景色…何とかもりでも歩き抜けた道〜

[Going by Public Transportation] My hiking partner, Nao-chan, found a "forgotten abandoned road" in Ikoma! ✨ We'll join the Ikoma mountain trail, so maybe we can go to Narukawa from there and admire the remaining azaleas? That's what we were saying as we made our plan ^^ ...Hmm? We can't "plan our hike by referring to the track records" of people who've already been there...? "Is it a route not on the full map? ☆ Well, we'll just follow the track records♪ It's Ikoma after all^^" I thought, with another naive expectation, as we prepared... On the day, I was complaining like crazy lol It was a long walk to the trailhead^^; What? We have to walk through the river? ...It's so long💢 What's this "soft section"?! My legs are killing me! The final steep climb... I'd heard about it, but it was really steep! The ridge trail (maintenance road)... so long! 💢 The azaleas are all gone... TT But the fresh greenery is beautiful! ✨ It's cool by the river (...in the middle of it)! ✨ The birdsong is right in my ears! ✨ The female waterfall is impressive, surrounded by dragon gods! ✨ Each section is long, but somehow it's fun! ✨✨ (...but it's long) The view from the maintenance road is beautiful! ✨ I learned that azaleas are no good if they're more than 4 days past their peak bloom...^^ It was a mountain hike from which I learned a lot! ^^v Abandoned roads... are truly mystical... they have a unique charm, don't they? ✨ I don't really want to go on adventure routes though, lol. There are still so many routes I don't know about in Ikoma! ♪ I'll try again if I find a route that looks doable in the forest! ^^v✨ 0:00 opening 1:06 Start ~ Getting lost along the way 3:24 Arrived at the trailhead ~ To Yokokoji Road 8:36 The soft section of Yokokoji Trail… 12:36 Descending to Me-taki Waterfall 13:52 To Minamitani Trail… The stream climbing continues… 17:02 Rakuonji South Trail ~ The final steep climb 18:50 To the Prefectural Forest Management Trail ♪ 21:10 Narukawa Park Azalea Garden 22:05 Descending the mountain ~ [Music] DOVA syndrome Music Egg BG Emer Domorin
