Takao-san

Apr 30, 2017 18:59
Now it is a golden week (a cluster of holidays) in Japan.

Today, I climbed at Takao-san in Hachioji city.

The mountain is only 599 meters high, but it is located not far from the center of Tokyo, a lot of people visit there.

There are about five climbing routes, and almost all of them take one and half to two hours.

Since there are also cable cars and lifts, you can arrive at near the mountain's summit easily if you use them.

Although it was the first time for me to climb at this mountain, I chose a relatively hard route.

However, I was really terribly tired because I haven't do exercise recently.
高尾山

今、日本ではゴールデンウィークです。

今日は、八王子市にある高尾山を登りました。

標高599mの比較的小さな山ですが、都心から近いこともあり、多くの観光客が訪れます。

ルートは5つほどあり、総じて1時間半〜2時間程で山頂に到達します。

ケーブルカーやリフトなどもあり、気軽に山頂付近まで行くこともできます。

私は初めてでしたが、少しだけ険しいルートを選んでみました。

しかし、運動不足ということもあり、ものすごくきつかったです。

Thank you so much for the corrections!
> mountain name has san???
Yes, "san" (or "zan" or "yama") means "mountain."
"San" of "Fujisan (Mt. Fuji)" also means mountain. :)

    ゴールデンウイークは英語で固有名詞ですから、「the」を使います。

  • Today, I climbed Mt. Takao in Hachioji city.

    山のことを話しをするときは、日本語で「さん」を付けて、英語で「Mt.」を付けます。

  • Being only 599 meters high, the mountain is relatively low. However, it is located not far from the center of Tokyo and is visited by a lot of people.

    Kanotownさんの翻訳は英語で正しいですが、この修正は原典にもっと近いだと思います。

  • There are about five climbing routes, and almost all of them take one and half to two hours.
  • There are about five climbing routes to the summit, and almost all of them take one and a half to two hours.

    「summit」は「山頂」です。

  • Since there are also cable cars and lifts, you can arrive at near the mountain's summit easily if you use them.
  • Since There are also cable cars and lifts. You can arrive at near the mountain's summit easily if you use them.

    「mountain's summit」は正しいですが、英語には「mountain」以外に「summit」がないので「mountain」のをはっきりいうことがあまりいりません。
