After hiking up a steep incline for 1.7 KM, we finally reached a flat point. The sunshine broke through the trees announcing the summit was just a little further...
...jumping off the path a bit, I walked to the edge (and into some deer doo-doo) to get a closer look. It was Mount Fuji! I had to show my Canadian pride! ^_^
After reaching the summit, the time was 9.45 AM. My friend whipped out a brand new camping stove and asked: "Would you like a fresh cup of coffee?" My sleepy mood was suddenly perked up at this news. My friend poured out my cup of coffee, which smelled great in the mountain air.

| Can't you just smell that?? ^_^ |
A must have for any hiker: 1L bottle of water, camp stove, pot and cup. Hot drinks are the best at the summit! ^_^
At 1,277.5 meters in height, the summit of Nabewari Mountain offers fantastic views of Mount Fuji, the Southern Alps, Odawara, Yokohama Bay and other Tanazawa mountains. With my coffee in hand, I got a photo at the summit marker. Special thanks to my mom and dad for the Canadian Olympics hat. One fellow hiker said I looked "cute". Haha. *^_^*
After about 30 minutes here, my friend and I packed up our gear and moved to view the next signpost. We weren't ready to stop for the day just yet; we decided to continue on to Mt. Tonodake -- another 2.8 KM away.
Nabewari Mountain is located in the Tanazawa Mountains in central Kanagawa. Information can be found HERE.
