Nick's May web post
Tatiana, Annariina and I went to Takaosan on April 15th. We went there because it is our geography project topic [this term's geography project is a presentation about a natural tourist spot, and although not necessary for the presentation, many of the ID students wanted to go to the areas to understand them better - Peter].

After the long train ride we finally arrived at Takaosanguchi Station, where we were met with colorful scenery. We started our ascent at about 11 o’clock. On the way up we ate a multiple number of ice creams and entered the monkey park.
At about 15:30 we reached the top; unfortunately while we had been ascending the nice sunshine had turned into clouds, so we were unable to fully enjoy the view from the top. We had to descend quite quickly, since Annariina had to be home early. It was a good day, especially because the weather was good.
