About us
(Why has this circle been started?)
I’m in my early 60s and like hiking, dancing, and outdoor sports. I was looking for meetup circles on “meetup.com” fit for active seniors like me. However, unfortunately I couldn’t find such ones around Tokyo. So, I decided to organize one for myself.
(Activities and intentions of this circle)
I’d like to provide places to communicate and interact for seniors, e.g. hiking, eating & drinking etc. And I hope we have a fun time and make friends through common interests and activities. I would be happy if the waves of exchange among seniors are growing and make seniors' life more active and enjoyable.
(Co-organizer)
If someone want to organize a party or a event for seniors, please let me know. I'll be happy to have a co-organizer of this circle.
（サークル発足について） 私はハイキング、ダンス、アウトドアスポーツが好きなシニア（６０才台初め）です。私のような年代の者が参加し易いサークルを”meetup.com”内で探しましたが見つかりませんでした。それで自分でこの会を発足することにしました。 （サークルの活動と趣旨） シニア向けの交流の場（ハイキング、飲食など）を提供し、参加者の皆さんが共通の趣味や活動を通して楽しいひと時を過ごせればと思います。また、シニア間の交流が広がり、シニアの皆さんがより活発に生活をエンジョイできれば幸いです。（共同オーガナイザー）
シニア向けのパーティーやイベントをご自分で企画したい方がいらっしゃいましたら連絡下さい。このサークルの共同オーガナイザーになっていただければと思います。

Mt. Hakome Hike：箱根山ハイキング
Odawara Station, 1-1-1 Shiroyama, Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan, Odawara, JPMount Hakone (箱根山, Hakoneyama), with its highest peak Mount Kami (1,438 meters), is a complex volcano in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan that is truncated by two overlapping calderas, the largest of which is 10 × 11 km wide. (from Wikipedia)
Entry to Mt. Hakone was prohibited until last spring. If visibility is good, we can see Mt. Fuji from the top. After hiking, I'd like to go to an onsen* on the way back, but it's optional. This hike is of a moderate level in terms of distance, elevation gain, and walking speed. Please make sure that you participate in this hike at your own risk. In the case of rain or bad conditions, it may be canceled.*https://www.hakoneyuryo.jp/（箱根湯寮）
