Still walking in Shinrin Koen

 It does not show well but this is a fairly steep hill.

 The walking path is also for jogging and there are markers ever 0.5 kilometers around the 3 km course.

 In some places there are railings along the side of the path because of the steep drop-off, some of which are steep enough and deep enough to be dangerous.

 Here and there you will find roofed areas with seating and usually a small table.

Here they are repairing a place that collapsed in the aftermath of the earthquakes and then the heavy rains we have been having recently. Beside the path there is an almost vertical drop of close to 10 meters. It appears that they are building a restraining wall.
