Dave and I woke early on Sunday morning in order to meet the ITT bus for a day trip to Nishizawa Ravine. Included in our tour was an 8 mile hike and winery visit. 

Here is a map of our route to the area where we hiked. 


The almost three hour drive provided us a chance to snooze. 

The hike was amazing. Here is a picture of our route. 


The fall foliage was breathtaking. The waterfalls were gorgeous. I couldn’t take enough pictures! The hike going up was rocky and a bit treacherous. The trail was meticulously maintained and had ample support rails to help in difficult areas. The trail coming down was smooth and an easy descent. Warning: lots of pictures! 




Hello Fall


Shrine at the end

The brown area on the bottom of the map is Mt Fuji


After the hike, we stopped at a winery. Chateau Katsunuma. All of the wines were disappointing. The Gardens were beautiful! 


It was a really fun and beautiful hike. I hope my pictures transport you and don’t overwhelm you!!
