このイベントには英語話さなくていいよ。何人か全く英語話せないよ！！：）

NOTE: Bryan Baier will guide this hike. He has worked for Nara Tourism for more than 2 years and possesses a huge amount of knowledge of these incredible areas......much more than just a guide!!!

半分外国人と半分日本人参加するので、メッチャいい雰囲気あります。ハイキングに興味があれば、是非来てください：）よろしくお願い致します。

The 2 Summits of Mt. Nijo (O-dake and Me-dake) are a prominent part of the mountain range that divides Osaka and Nara Prefectures. They’re also a fun and beautiful hike!

After conquering these two summits, and enjoying the views over two prefectures, we will visit the historic Taima-dera Temple, the ONLY temple dating from the 8th century to have both of its original pagodas left intact! It’s also home to some other unique and historic architecture.

Finally, enter an authentic sumo arena (built to authentic specifications anyway) for a fun bout with your friends and fellow hikers.

This will be a big day but one we are confident will delight any and all who participate.

Bring water.

Bring appropriate shoes for hiking and appropriate clothes for the weather.
