Odoridaira tunnel

Landslide just beyond tunnel - impassable even on foot

hike trail directly over Odoridaira tunnel

Just ascended this steep section of the hike trail

The top - Hinatasawa toge 1356m

Fuji visible from top

On the descent - stick left here towards Sobatsubu yama

Same as above from different angle

Need to turn off here following the sign for Arima yama as highlighted

The route is very steep in sections here

Just came down these steps
