Otake-san

We passed an abandoned mountain hut, whose door rattled when we came close. An old sign board listed curry rice ¥800. Passing this and through a tori, there was a small temple 10 minutes from the top of Otake-san with little dog or boar statues. A runner passed us on his way down grinning, “Mo chotto!” Over some rocks with chain link to grab onto and then we were at the top.
