ð² Kuratake-yama, as it isâwild and free: Why do we recall trivial stories when hiking in the mountains? (Vlog)
2025.05.05 17:10
Yesterday, I went hiking for the first time in a while. I finally got to use my newly purchased 20L Karrimor backpack. The destination was Mount Kuratake in Yamanashi Prefecture. It was supposed to be about a 10 km hike and labeled beginner-friendly.
On the way to Takao on the ChūŠLine, I noticed something oddâthere was a man sitting ahead of me wearing peculiar pants. Two X marks were stitched on the seat. At first, I thought it was a quirky design, but looking closer, they were brand new and completely wrinkle-free. It turned out he hadnât removed the tailoring threads from the back pockets.
I didnât point it outâafter all, I wasnât carrying scissors. I figured it was one of those âignorance is blissâ moments and let it go. I quietly wondered when he would finally notice. I felt a small pang of concern for him.
Before transferring to the KÅfu-bound train at Takao Station, I got a message from my hiking buddy. She had overslept and missed her stop. I stuck to the plan and got on the KÅfu train already at the platform.
Then a foreign traveler approached me and showed a Japanese translation app screen. I could barely make out âkonoâŠâ but the font was too small to bother reading further. He asked in English, âTo Åtsuki?â I replied simply, âTo KÅfu.â
Even if you're Japanese, itâs not easy to instantly understand romanized Japanese. Honestly, it wouldâve been much easier if heâd spoken English from the start. And the train wasnât leaving for another three minutesâplenty of time to ask a station staff member.
Eventually, they did just that. I watched them show the screen with romanized text, and the station staff responded with a vague expressionâhalf understanding, half confusion. On the electronic board, I saw the next train was bound for Åtsuki.
Streams, Greenery, and a Mountain Trail like an Obstacle Course
My buddy arrived 30 minutes late. She was also carrying a brand-new backpackâa refreshing light green beige from The North Face. It felt like a veteranâs pick.
Oddly enough, she took the wrong turn after the station, and we ended up walking on asphalt for 43 minutes before reaching the trailhead. I had a hunch something was off when she suddenly turned right, despite saying weâd follow the road. My hunch was right.
There was a hiker counter at the entrance. I pushed the buttonâour number was in the 7000s. I wondered when they had started counting. Trying to record a video, I accidentally clicked the counter an extra time. (Oops, an extra hiker countedâlol.)
As soon as we entered the forest, the green air began to flow through us. Compared to Mt. Takao, we saw more dramatic streams and waterfalls. For a while, we walked along a trail painted in green, surrounded by the sound of water. The early part of the hike was quite comfortable. At times, we crossed streams and ducked under fallen treesâit felt more like an obstacle course than a mountain trail.
Climbing Toward the Pass and the Encouragement of the Sky
We were aiming for Tateno Pass, said to offer great views. But we kept asking, âWhy is the path still so gentle if weâre heading toward a mountain pass?â Even after an hour, we hadnât arrived.
When my buddy checked the route on her app, she found that âyouâll reach the pass after the sound of the stream fades.â Sure enough, once the water disappeared, the climb became steep and steady.
As we caught our breath, the bits of blue sky peeking through the trees gave us the encouragement we needed.
When we finally arrived at Tateno Pass, we took a deep breath. The summit was another 35 minutes away. Blooming doudantsutsuji (Enkianthus) flowers came into view, reminding me of salmon-pink blossoms I saw last year on another mountain. That memory had brought peace to me too.
Miraculous Timing and the Appearance of Mt. Fuji
Not long after, my buddy spotted it through the treesâa beautiful white triangle. Mt. Fuji. Only the snow-capped part stood out, floating gently in the green landscape.
Maybe the 30-minute delay worked in our favor and cleared the clouds. The forecast had predicted overcast skies.
So I joked:
âMaybe that 30-minute delay adjusted the timing perfectly so we could see Mt. Fuji!â
That âpredictionâ came true.
Later, my buddy found a post from someone who had missed the view and was disappointed. Turns out, we really were lucky.
ð³ A Border of Green and PinkâDéjà Vu in the Forest
As we continued along the shrine path beyond the pass, my buddy murmured:
âGreen on the left, pink on the right⊠Itâs so interesting how the colors split down the path like this.â
She was rightâthe colors on either side of the narrow trail were completely different.
Then, as we entered a coniferous forest, everything turned pink.
It felt like a movie sceneâjust for a moment.
A misty atmosphere, like something from a fantasy, drifted from the cedar trees.
âThatâs like what you see in commercials,â my buddy said.
Yes, probably pollen. Not mist. (lol) But in that moment, what we felt wasnât discomfort, but a kind of âmemory landscape,â like something weâd seen before.
Despite being deep in nature, our conversations were oddly focused on celebrity scandals and survival news.
âThis hike feels like weâre reliving that celebrityâs roller-coaster life.â
âNo follow-up on that mountain rescue story yet, huh?â
âThere are so many sudden-tragedy headlines these days.â
I suddenly blurted out:
âWhy do all these silly news stories come to mind when everything around us is so beautiful? Maybe the beauty is so intense that random stuff just starts floating up?â
My buddy replied,
âMaybe itâs a way of reminding ourselves to be cautiousâby thinking of those stories as we hike safely.â
We laughed. But even if we tried to stop, more gossip would pop up. So strange. (lol)
When I asked my âside brainâ (a.k.a. GPT), I got a perfectly satisfying explanation.
ð§ During a Hike, the Brain is Defragmenting
In the mountains, your senses are immersed in nature, and your body is focused on the simple task of walking. That frees the brain to start organizing ânon-urgent information.â
In other words, hiking is a time when your brain quietly plays back random, unprocessed data.
Celebrity gossip, accident reports, vague anxiety from social mediaâthose were all stored in the brainâs âthink-about-it-laterâ folder. Hiking lets you gradually let them go.
ð¿ Unkempt Trails, But a Cleansed Mind
This mountain had lots of fallen trees and damaged paths. Many times, we walked by instinct, wondering, âIs this the right trail?â Cross-checking with the app gave us more certainty. In hindsight, this was probably a very enriching way to use our brains.
Being soothed by the scenery, feeling déjà vu from pollen mists, getting lost here and thereâit felt like clearing out all the âjunk filesâ from our heads. Hiking, perhaps, is a secret maintenance session for the mind amid nature.
So if I find myself remembering trivial things again on the next hike, Iâll take that as a sign that my mind is getting a little more organized. Itâs not just your body that quiets down in the mountainsâbut also the noisy chatter of memory.
This morning, I felt a little sluggish. No major muscle pain, likely because the hike was beginner-friendly. Only the back of my left knee ached, probably from the off-trail walking.
But the moment I drank coffee, I felt my body slowly rebooting. Thinking back on all the âmeaninglessâ thoughts that popped up and disappeared in the woods yesterdayâI now see they were just mental noise accumulated over time.
And this morning, it felt like the caffeine whispered quietly:
âThe junkâs been cleared.â
ðïž Epilogue: About Mount Kuratake
Kuratake-yama is often listed as a beginner-friendly hike. But after climbing it myself, I realized itâs less about stamina and more about skill.
Fallen trees, eroded paths, stream crossings, hard-to-spot trail splitsâthere were many moments where the assumption of âa clear trail existsâ simply didnât apply.
My buddy said,
âIt looks totally different from when I came here ten years ago.â
Even on the same mountain, even on the same route, changing natural conditions demand different judgment. Thatâs why hiking isnât just about maps and dataâitâs about facing this momentâs mountain, which also means facing this momentâs self.
And so, my buddy began seriously considering a paid YAMAP subscription. (lol)
