Strarted from Hankyu Oji-koen station (阪急王子公園駅).

Got to the Maya cable station, and we took a cable car and ropeway.

After technological hiking, we were on the top of Mt. Maya.

Lunch (and simulation meeting)

After lunch, our hiking was begun.

There are several pathways between Kikuseidai and Nunobiki waterfalls via Ichigahara (市ケ原).

We chose a pathway through Tengu-dou (天狗道) and Inazuma-saka (稲妻坂), which is suitable for beginners.

Very easy route... YET.

The gravel path and downward slope went on.
This route is along the ridgeway of Mt. Maya.

The size of rocks became bigger so the condition of the pathway got harder.

Then we climbed up steps in the mountain.

After passing through Inazuma-saka, we got near Ichigahara.

We took a break beside the Nunobiki reservoir (布引貯水池).

Witch Erin!

We walked along the river and there were many waterfalls.

We went down the slope from Nunobiki reservoir to Shin-Kobe station (新神戸駅).

On the way, we crossed Tanigawa bridge (谷川橋).

Monkey's vine bridge (猿のかずら橋)

We rested at Miharashi observation deck.

We've got back to town.

We finished the hiking too early, so we walked from Shin-Kobe station to Sannomiya station.
After that, we had a dinner at Shirokiya near the station.
Before we ate, Umemura-san and Charisse created origami from the papers which were wrapping the chopsticks.
