Far Eastern Adventure Part 6 - Running in Yokosuka, Japan
So one of my runs whilst in Yokosuka, Japan was up Mt Ogusu in very hot and humid conditions. It was a killer!

Ogusuyama
The trail is actually really close to the Yokosuka Naval Base. However.... the stupid trailhead is uphill the whole way. I'm not joking. I am 100% serious. It is a serious slow climb or death by stairs to get to the actual trailhead that is rideable. The locals think you are バカ rough translation is crazy or foolish. But the climb eventually becomes worth it when you get to the top because you have 3 different trails to choose from.
Ogusuyama II
The trailhead is actually really close to the Yokosuka Naval Base. This is a section that is easily found after you complete what I believe is trail one. You will cross over a small foot bridge that crosses over a small single lane road. Stay on the road for 200m or so and when you see some silver posts on the left hand side this is where you turn in. Follow the trail downhill and cross another foot bridge this time over the Yoko-Yoko. Climb the stairs just after your cross the bridge and you find yourself on some very Pacific Northwest type single track. Nothing overly difficult some some serious fun.
