September 16, 2019 hike up the Nanataki Course of Mt. Iwate in Hachimantai, Iwate, Japan! (7th trip up Mt. Iwate this year!)

Route: Up Nanataki Course, down Umagaeshi Course. Took 6 hours including breaks and talking at the camera. Met a Japanese Serow (カモシカ) and saw lots of bear traces. Trailhead location for Nanataki:
