Hike changed to B-ball/V-ball tournaments

The ensoku (hike) planned for today was cancelled due to rainy weather. In place of it, students were organized into teams that were entered into either basket-ball or volley-ball tournaments. I had bought my new camera with the intention of bringing it today, but forgot it at home!

When my parents came to visit, they were invited to join in on the ensoku, which was lots of fun! I can't believe it's already been a year since my parents were here! Here are some pictures from the hike last year.

Once at the top, everyone did a folk dance,

then ate lunch.

We spent a couple of hours at the top taking in the view,

talking and playing sports before making our way back down.
