2023 May Mt.Tado Day Trip


Introduction: While I can have my weeklong holiday, my girlfriend has to work for the most of those days so we only get one day together. Now time to go hike

Heading to Mt Tado

Woke up as usual and get ready for the day. I drove out from my apartment and picked up my girlfriend, began heading toward west. We decided to take a local road for the morning. The drive was fine until hitting prefecture road 125, trying to cross three rivers to Mie Prefecture. The rest of the way had no issue and I parked my car visitor parking around 10::00am.

We got off from the car and first walked to Tado Shrine which is famous for Ageuma Shinji, which locals send their horses to a hill by the shrine. If the horse make it, it will bring good luck but recent horse injuries caused discussion about whether this is an animal abuse or not. Walking to the site where the stage is being set, I agree this is very harsh.


There was a cat walking on the track. 10:56


Horse, we can feed him a piece of carrot 11:00

Hiking

After leaving the shrine, we walked on paved road toward the trailhead about 1km. Soon we saw the sign and made a left turn toward uphill road. I was expecting a little more rough route but the trail was paved all way up. Slowly going up, sometimes we get to see the nice view. Reached the summit in 1.5 hours.


To East, I can see highrise buildings at Nagoya station in distance  11:37


To Northeast, I can see the bridges I crossed on the way come in. 12:41


To South 13:22

Began descend from 12:50, it was very easy way down and arrived back at the shrine in just 1hour

At the shrine, we walked around and finally walked back to the parking.

Leaving around 2:30pm, Getting on expressway from Kuwana Hiashi at 2:50pm, switching to Nagoya Expressway at 3:00pm. Sent my girlfriend off at 4:00pm so she can attend family event.


Cost: 2,139 Yen
