On 13th, I went seeing the two attractions in winter in Chichibu Area, one of which was winter sweet flowers on the top of Mt. Hodo.
Taking a rapid express train on Seibu Ikebukuro Line, Seibu-chichibu Line, and Chichibu Railway Chichibu Main Line, I got off at Nagatoro Station, the closest to the mountain.
It takes about 15 minutes on foot to the station of cable car on the foot of the mountain, and 5 more minutes by cable car between there and the top.
In front of the cable car station on the top, Minano-chan, the same as the one at Nagatoro Station, stood, too. Incidentally Minano-chan also loves the flowers because the colour of the flower looks like that of her hair.
Watching the flowers, I walk along path to the top. In those days about 3000 yellow small beautiful flowers were blooming.
The mountain summit commanded the view of the other mountains in Chichibu Area. The flowers blooming under the view created a seasonal scenery, added to the mountains.
