The Big Hike

Hiking up to Gifu castle was no easy task for me! Not actually exercising properly for months we felt like a challenge and decided the most direct but most difficult route. Nevertheless, it was tough with many stops required but the feeling in the end was amazing and it took only 40 minutes! I had the rocky song in my head!
The only worry was seeing oldies - like 70 and over hiking in an amazing rate bypassing us ><

There was a squirrel village but it was closed when we got there.

I tried to take a picture of the castle from the entrance! Its so small you can barely see it on the top











Of course we decided to take the cable car back down the trail - that took 5 minutes!
