Me and my buddy Peter went on a bike ride up a mountain called Mizuishi. It took two and a half hours. After about half an hour I started to think that maybe it was a bad idea. It wasn't easy, but it was really good fun. The weather wasn't great for our ride, it rained and it was foggy. Some of the pictures here are from another day when I went up the mountain by car, which took twenty minutes.
We pushed our bikes up this treacherous mountain path to avoid riding up more winding mountain roads.
Every 15 metres the path was blocked by these huge scary spiders. We ducked under their webs or just destroyed them.
The end of the footpath. The steps led up to a temple...
I thought it was amazing that a temple was built half way up a mountain. There are a bunch of other buildings too. Old style houses and other small temple things that have names.
This is the best temple in Iwaki. It's one of the oldest, and the location is great.
After two and a half hours we finally made it to the top. This was the view. We didn't really care about the weather though because it was a great ride.
