I decided to go on a hike up Mount Kongo. I had assumed that it wouldn&#8217;t be snowy as the temperature was above 0 but I guess that snow sticks around for a while. It wasn&#8217;t bad though. My concern was that the ground would be slippy but the snow was reasonably fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite a few other people had had the same idea as me and the lower part of the mountain was quite busy. I has to queue to climb the stairs. This meant I kept a steady pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did the usual thing of having noodles (udon this time) in the cafe at the top and having a bit of a wander about looking at the views. The statue at the bottom of the steps by the shrine looked particularly imposing in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"661\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/imnotasaint.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/110220_statue-1-661x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1366\" srcset=\"http:\/\/imnotasaint.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/110220_statue-1-661x1024.jpg 661w, http:\/\/imnotasaint.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/110220_statue-1-194x300.jpg 194w, http:\/\/imnotasaint.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/110220_statue-1-768x1190.jpg 768w, http:\/\/imnotasaint.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/110220_statue-1.jpg 989w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday was a national holiday in Japan.
