GPS tracking of the hike
Introduction: COVID-19 has been a big issue for everybody in the world. I always want to climb mountains but not wanting to take trains or buses, so the only way left is to drive up there. I invited my girlfriend for the trip.
Leaving the apartment at 7:00am, it was under mostly sunny weather. I have been to Mt. Gozaisho many times now but this is my very first time going by a car. Left the parking at 7:15am, drove a little to get to the entrance for Nagoya Expressway. I joined the traffic at 7:25am, and reached at Nagoya West IC in 10 minutes. I then changed to Higashi Meihan Expressway, then swiched to Shin-Meishin Expressway so I can get to Komono IC. As I drive toward the destination, I can see the mountains of Suzuka getting closer and closer, and I can notice one unique one is the Mt. Ozaisho. Drove on a local road after getting off, and I get to the parking at 8:00am.

Nice day for a hiking (8:24am)
After gearing up for the hike, we began heading to the trailhead for the center route. I have not get to go up for a while. There are very much less people to see so everything turned a bit sad hike but still I am happy that I can come up here and enjoy it. We reched the summit and which was overcasted, took seats in a bench and had lunch together.
Getting some cloud cover (12:04pm)
After lunch is over, we began coming down the mountain on the same path. By now we have more people coming up from the foot of the mountain. It's a bit of scary moment as we cross with others while breathly heavily.
I can look down the foot of mountain (12:46pm)
The weather turned to be sunny again so the view is better on the way back.

Jizo Rock (14:53)
After coming down to the foot of the mountain, we decided to stop by at gift shop after 3:00pm. Everybody is wearing a mask but we still do shop. Leaving the parking at 4:00pm after a rest, and headed back on the same route as I came this morning. The amount of traffic was more than in the morning but moved smoothly. Reaching Nagoya West IC at 4:40pm and come back to Nagoya. Since we do not plan on cooking dinner, we bought pizza at Pizza Hut around 6:00pm.
