On Sunday, December 10, 2023, I climbed Genta-Mine in the northern part of Gifu City. This mountain is located at the north of Dodogamine.
On a previous attempt to climb on May 28, 2022, I was concerned about the carpenter bees at the treeless space below the pylon and turned around halfway up. Today, it was a bit warm for December, and I heard the buzzing of flies, although I didn’t see any bees.
I climbed the mountain with a bell to repel bears, but on the way up, when walking alone, I made a loud voice, as if practicing songs, to protect myself from bears.
I took the trail from the paved road and passed under four pylons before reaching the summit of Genta-Mine. I got a little lost near the summit, but it was a beautiful trail.
The GPS logs recorded by phyphox, a smartphone physical data acquisition app, are plotted on the map below. The summit of Genta-Mine is marked on the map as 228 m. The maximum altitude in the phyphox GPS log was close at 229 m.
