[October Offline Event] Update on "Starting a Tent-Camping Hike with ZEROGRAM" [Many Gifts and Additional Trial Items]

Finally? The air is starting to feel like autumn even in the lowlands. In the mountains, cold northwesterly winds are already blowing through regularly, and it seems that preparations for winter are finally underway.

Last week was scheduled to be the September tent-camping traverse event, but unfortunately, due to the forecast of bad weather, it was postponed to the following week (September 27-28) as a precaution.

Even so, the weather forecast for Japan last weekend was incredibly uncertain. The forecast changed constantly every day, making it really hard for event organizers. If I had only gone along with the forecast at the last minute, I might have pushed myself to go, but safety is the number one priority for these events.

(I've hiked many mountains and experienced many things. As a result, if you're unsure about the weather, the best thing to do is to give up.)

Instead, I went mountain climbing on Sunday with one of the members whose schedule only worked out last week, on my way back. We chose Mount Kushigatake, a place that seemed like it would offer the best weather and that we hadn't been to before. It was even more amazing than I imagined (perhaps because I wasn't expecting much). I had no idea such a rich, deep forest could be found so easily accessible from Tokyo. The magnificent sight of a carpet of lush moss, low-growing ferns, and tall larch trees stretching so long they could almost snap off your neck, stretching deep into the depths, felt like something out of Japan. Huge, imposing larch trees, some of which I wondered how many years old, were scattered everywhere, creating a mystical atmosphere and a sheer scale that made it one of the most beautiful forests I've ever seen, so beautiful you could count them on one hand.
