中部に楽しんだ：第一番

岐阜金華山にハイキング

ロープウェイーの公園の向かい側の方のハイキング道

 This is the park at the entrance of the east side of the park. It's more oriented toward locals and there is free parking! On the other side with access to the ropeway, parking is sparse and there are fees. 

この公園は金華山の東の方にあるといえるのかな。もっと近所に対する公園の感じがしたけど、落ち着けれる所のではないかと思って、金華山のこの面でも楽しめると思う。

 There is a shrine at the entrance to the park. This was waiting in the stone lantern.

神社があった。こんな可愛いものはあった！

 All kinds of little creatures to notice on the walk up, including my favorite family of decomposers: Mushrooms. I wouldn't eat these if I were you.

自然でいっぱい見つけれる！毎回、どんな季節でも楽しめる！私の好きな生物の王国のきのこだ！

 Various trails are connected from that trail, this sign is directing us to Gifu castle, for those who really want to be on top! 

ハイキング道沢山！大体毎回岐阜城までにする。

 The view from the cliff side of the trail where there is a fork partway up. This is on a basic, misty, smoggy day in the Gifu. Just recently I went up after the typhoon. For a spectacular view, wait for a typhoon to wipe the smog of the auto industry away.

ハイキング道の崖の方からの風景。私の体験にはこれは普通の見れるぐらいだ。台風が来たら、次の日に行ったら、すごく遠く見れるようになる。

 This is no "walk in the park." The first time you come you may feel like it is better for mountain goats. This is on the "cliff" side of the trail. You may have to crawl up on all fours. But it's worth it for awesome views and actually proably if you attempted a second time you wouldn't feel it so difficult.

これは散歩と言えないかな。初めてに来たら、多分山のヤギか猪だけできる感じがするかも。だけど、次に来られば、優しくなる。

 This is from a clearing near the entrance to the ropeway (for those who don't want to hoof it up the mountain like mountain goats). The tower is in the town I'm living in. This was on a basic smoggy day. Again, when I went here after the typhoon, you could see to Nagoya and you could even see the bay/ocean in the distance.

ロープウェイの近くの名古屋方の風景です。一宮まで見れる。台風の次の日に行ったら、名古屋も海まで見れるようになった！

My favorite part: there is ice cream at the top. But in the fall there are also mosquitoes. So you should come fully clothed and fully prepared to protect your face, as you can see one got me right in my forehead. >.< D'oh.

私のお気入りのソフトだ！秋に気をつけて、かがさいた～～＞。＜

I rate it a difficult hike for someone who has never hiked before, but unless you have a condition then it is totally worth preservering to get to the top!

ハイキング道で行ったら、最後まで頑張ってね！毎回楽しい。
