Because I wanted to avoid for at least some hours the crowds (especially because today was again a wonderful day + Saturday, so crowds guaranteed!!) I left the guesthouse at 8. The park was indeed much nicer to visit.
I continued the walk in the direction Mount Wakakusa. When suddenly:
I used the Google Translate app and it seems that this is a Warning Sign that Vipers might appear. Vi-What?!?? Are there snakes in Japan?!?!!!
I presumed that this is a unique place, where Vipers have their community and they don’t want to spread outside this area, like this is basically their home. I calmed down and continue the amazing path to the “peak”.
Not far away from the highest point of the hill:
What’s the fastest way to the Moon?!?!!
Of course after the second warning sign, every sound that I heard was for me a Viiiiper coming to get me. 🙂
From the Mount Wakakusa it’s possible to have a view over the Nara city. The walk was easy and short (but adventurous as described before), around 4 km from the center.
I said goodbye to this wonderful place, tomorrow I will continue to Osaka.
