I call this piece ‘the only person not watching the royal wedding’. Blue skies over the mountains of Shikoku. 大阪からそんなに遠くないが、四国の山は他の世界みたい。 #japan #shikoku #mountains #hiking #outdoors #bbctravel #lonelyplanet #guardiantravelsnaps #instajapan #ig_japan #olympus #outdoorlife #landscape #hyakkeime #日本 #四国 #剣山 #百名山 #ハイキング #山 #登山 #自然 #ロイヤルウエディング #アウトドア #旅行

Sunset views from Fujimidai, a plateau of pleasant grassy pastures just north of Mt. Ena. It also happens to have better views than the (moderately) famous mountain itself. ずっと行きたかった恵那山も良かったが、実は近くの富士見台という高原の景色の方が素晴らしかった。 #japan #fujimidai #mountains #sunset #ig_japan #instajapan #hiking #hikinginjapan #outdoors #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #gifu #nagano #olympus #日本 #恵那山 #富士見台 #ハイキング #トレッキング #登山 #山 #岐阜県 #旅行 #カメラ #百名山 #アウトドア

The small and simple (and free) hut near the summit of Mt. Ena (2191m) on the border of Gifu and Nagano prefectures. There is not much of a view from the summit due to all the trees, but there are some good ones on the way up. Still quite a lot of snow remaining on the north-facing side of the mountain too. 恵那山の山頂から外の景色何も見えない！でも歩いてる時の景色はすごく良かった(^^) #japan #ena #gifu #nagano #hiking #mountains #goldenweek #outdoorlife #olympus #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #alps #travel #ig_japan #instajapan #日本 #恵那山 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #岐阜 #長野 #百名山 #旅行 #旅 #ゴールデンウィーク

Back in the mountains of Japan again. The Suzuka mountains on the border of Mie and Shiga prefectures are famous for leeches during the sticky summer months, so now is probably the best time to visit. The hills are also a pleasant shade of green now that spring has fully arrived. ヒルが出てくる前に鈴鹿山脈に行かないとダメ！ #japan #mie #kansai #mountains #suzuka #hiking #spring #outdoorlife #ultralightbackpacking #outdoors #olympus #goldenweek #japantravel #japantrip #日本 #鈴鹿山脈 #御在所岳 #鎌ヶ岳 #ハイキング #登山 #山 #関西 #ゴールデンウィーク #旅行 #旅

It’s not all white peaks and slate-grey rocks, Nepal is a country of vivid colours. Already thinking about the next Himalayan mountain to climb... ネパールって、すごくカラフルな国だ。あと、今度は何のヒマラヤ山を登ろうか,今はちょっと考えてる。。。 #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #annapurnacircuit #prayerflags #backpacking #hiking #climbing #mountains #outdoors #instanepal #visitnepal #travelphotography #olympus #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #登山 #ハイキング #山 #自然 #旅行 #旅 #アドベンチャー #カメラ

Annapurna II (7937m) towers above our basecamp. This mountain is the 16th highest in the world and has seen some legendary ascents over the years, including an almost unbelievable solo climb up that spiny ridge to the left by the Japanese mountaineer Kondo in the 1970s. It is also one of the the first big mountains trekkers can see up close on the famous Annapurna Circuit. Annapurna II は世界で16番目に高い山です。1970年代に近藤さんという人が一人でこの山を登頂したらしい、すごいね！ #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #annapurnacircuit #mountains #climbing #mountaineering #trekking #hiking #camping #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #nepalheart #olympus #visitnepal #nepalnature #instanepal #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #ハイキング #クライミング #旅行 #旅 #春

The long climb up towards the summit of Pisang Peak (6091m). Although it looks fairly near, the summit is still about 1400m above us at this point. Our two climbing guides were extremely experienced and tough guys, having summited the likes of Everest, Lhotse, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu and all the other big mountains multiple times. However they warned us that Pisang Peak is a notoriously difficult and technical mountain, with erratic weather and a very low success rate. In fact they had only ever successfully climbed it twice before, a stark contrast to easier 6000m mountains such as Mera and Island Peaks which they usually climb five or six times a year! 目指す6000mのピークが近づいてきた！ #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #pokhara #pisang #mountains #hiking #climbing #bbctravel #mountaineering #outdoors #nepal8thwonder #olympus #summit #expedition #everest #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #登山 #クライミング #雪山 #山 #ハイキング #カメラ #旅行 #旅

Basecamp at 4300m, with Annapurna II in the background. Could (and did) stare at and study that ridge for days. After a heavy snowstorm on our first night, huge avalanches could be heard crashing down all night. ベースキャンプの景色は悪くない。 #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #trekking #hiking #climbing #mountaineering #bbctravel #outdoorlife #mountains #travel #instanepal #nepal8thwonder #expedition #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #キャンプ #登山 #ハイキング #山 #旅行 #旅 #春 #クライミング

The mountains are getting a bit bigger now. Got a rest day in this village before the long slog up to base camp the day after tomorrow. 明日はちょっと休憩の日、この村でゴロゴロかな。 #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #mountains #hiking #trekking #climbing #expedition #outdoorlife #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #travel #mountaineering #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #クライミング #トッレキンク #登山 #山 #雪山 #旅行 #旅 #カメラ

Walking towards our peak, still a couple of days away. Even the small mountains in the Himalayas are big. だんだん山が高くなってる。 #nepal #himalayas #annapurna #hiking #walking #trekking #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #mountains #climbing #outdoors #travel #thenorthface #climbing #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #登山 #山 #アウトドア #旅行 #旅 #ハイキング #トッレキンク #クライミング
