【猿投山・城ヶ峰 縦走登山】5年ぶりに表参道ルートで登る猿投山！下山は武田道に入って城ヶ峰に寄り道しまっす　2025年9月

Mt. Sanage and Jogamine (Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture) This was my fourth time climbing Mt. Sanage. It's been five years since I last climbed Mt. Sanage via the Omotesando route from the Sanage Shrine side. After five years, memories tend to fade, so it felt surprisingly fresh to climb. Maybe because it rained all morning, Mt. Sanage was less crowded than it usually is on a Sunday, making it easier to walk. The last time I climbed Mt. Sanage five years ago, there were so many people, it felt like we were on a field trip. And the best view spot on Mt. Sanage is the Oiwa Observatory. This time, there weren't many people, so I was able to enjoy the view at my leisure from the top of the rock. 😊 I passed Higashinomiya and walked past the famous frog rock to the summit of Mt. Sanage! The summit of Mt. Sanage was also less crowded than last time. The view from the summit was amazing! We descended from Mt. Sanage, but halfway down we took the Takeda Trail. My partner Kazu wanted to reach the peak of Jogamine, which he hadn't yet climbed. It's been a while since we last climbed Mt. Sanage, and it's still a great mountain! There are plenty of routes to choose from, so I'd love to return!
