There's Gassan but
It's covered with clouds
Someone have offered CocaCola to the gods

The road is made from stones and wood since Gassan is visited and famous mountain. It's part of the Dewa Sansan mountains.

We did it
And it's cold
Where are and what
The supply helicopter
windy
Facilities for turists
It brought food and other things many times. Finaly it took out the trashes.
It created so much wind that watanabes cup raamen fell down.
food
And the helicopter flew a bag far avay and I had to rescue it, since the man whos bag it was looked old and like he could hurt himself there.
After food we went to the shrine
No photos inside of course :(
500en to get in but it gives you a blessing by the monks also
And we have to go all the way back too
