Hiking to the Hidden Trail of Mount Takasu

Today I ventured out to Mount Takasu, looking for a trail I didn’t even know existed.

I had this idea that I could hike up to the summit because Mount Takasu sits right next to Mount Kinka—the one with Gifu Castle on top.

You might wonder, why bother climbing Mount Takasu if I could just hike up Mount Kinka to see Gifu Castle?

Well, I’ve already been up to Gifu Castle many times—walked around it, explored inside, admired the view. It’s no longer new to me. But discovering a hidden trail up Mount Takasu felt like a real adventure—an opportunity to explore something unfamiliar and to fly my drone close to Gifu Castle from a completely different angle.

Of course, I filmed a vlog about it. That’s also why I’m posting my daily blog a bit late today.

The photo in this post was taken with my drone, and I have to say—it turned out both dramatic and angelic at the same time.

Hope you like it.

This blog is for thoughtful adults who are starting again — in learning, creativity, or life — and want to grow steadily without noise or pressure.

Here you’ll find daily reflections and practical guides shaped by lived experience. The focus is on learning through doing: building consistency, adapting to change, and finding clarity in everyday practice.

The stories and guides here come from real processes — creative experiments, hands-on projects, life in rural Japan, working with nature, and learning new skills step by step. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is polished for performance. The aim is steady progress, honest reflection, and practical insight you can actually use.

If you’re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, you’re in the right place.
