■　Autumnal colors of the leaves at Mt. TAKAO

　"Sir, who is TAKAO-SAN?"
No, no, TAKAO-SAN is TAKAO mountain. Not a human but a mountain, this hiking is a yearly event. This year, we went with nearly 100 students and staffs.
　In the morning, we gathered in front of "BIG BOX" at TAKADANOBABA station. 　We arrived at "TAKAO-SAN TOZANGUCHI" station of the KEIO-line at 10:00 am and began our journey. On the way, we enjoyed recreational activities that some staffs prepared and sometimes took little breaks, so it took about 3 hours to reach the top. However, the slope of the beginning is very tiring. There was a staff member using a cane (me) and some students wondered why some elderly people and children could walk so lightly. Especially, the teacher/head of the educational institution was walking very lightly and he is *** years old now. We can't believe it. Perhaps he is a robot.

　There were many people at the top of the mountain. A large group of SNG members (students and staffs) had lunch there. Some students carried big juice-bottles and lunches that were worth several persons. Power of the young is so great….

　After lunch and break times, we started going down the mountain. Before the night came, every student rode the train to go home. Anyway this was a good refreshing activity.
