The route in the activity title runs from Shibusawa Station to Mt. Tōnodake and Nabewariyama, then down to Ōkura. No average-pace figure is given.

The hiker went to look at autumn color on the Ōkura ridge and between Mt. Tōnodake and Nabewariyama. After a long interval they left home early, transferred to the Odakyū Line at Shinjuku, and found that an express listed for Shin-Matsuda had been changed to one bound for Odawara.

Leaves on the Ōkura ridge had not yet turned. Beech foliage between Tōnodake and Nabewariyama could be seen. They walked slowly while taking photos, ate cup soba on Nabewariyama, descended to Ōkura, had a drink at a mountain café, and ended the day.

Near Ōkura they bought small Beni-haruka sweet potatoes for 100 yen from an unmanned stand, intending to bake them at home.

Fluids taken: hot water 500 ml, coffee 350 ml, barley tea 650 ml. Barley tea remaining on the descent: 350 ml.
