Now that complaining-about-the-heat season (a.k.a. summer) is over, and before complaining-about-the-cold season (a.k.a. winter) starts, let's take a second to enjoy Kansai's beautiful fall colors on the national holiday.

We'll explore Uji and its mountains, walk through the forest all the way to Amagase Dam and then make our way on the other side of the Uji river.

We should be back in town early enough to get a matcha latte, parfait, cake, or basically anything you want as long as it's matcha-flavored – that's kind of Uji's thing.

**IMPORTANT**

Although we will all meet at a set time and start the hike together, it's important that you do not rely on others in the group for food, water, safety, or directions.
Because everybody walks at their own pace, it's very possible for people to become isolated, and I encourage you to look at the hike itinerary beforehand to make sure you're able to find your way on your own if necessary.

This is an event organized by the community and not by professional hiking guides, and as such everybody's security and wellbeing will be their own responsibility. Please only join the hike if you're comfortable with those conditions.
