A YAMAP activity diary published on November 11, 2026 describes a hike the writer dates as November 3, which the diary calls a public holiday (旗日). The course is listed as Mt. Kinka, Mt. Hora, and Mt. Funabuse (金華山・洞山・舟伏山), in Gifu. The checkpoints actually printed trace a Mt. Kinka loop—Iwato Park, the trail entrance, Nanamagari, the ropeway summit station, Mt. Kinka, and Gifu Castle—not separate logged visits to Mt. Hora or Mt. Funabuse.

Kinka Ropeway summit station at 06:18. Clock times in the source are printed back-to-back; the sequence below is that grouping, not a claim that every split was labeled in prose.

Diary and photo-caption notes
These lines are the writer’s diary or captions. They are not GPS confirmation.
A photo caption says the writer will aim for the summit from the drive course and that the drive course opens around 7:00. That remark is only in the caption. The recorded checkpoints follow the hiking trail from 05:31 and reach the ropeway summit station at 06:18, before the opening time stated in the caption.
The diary says that, during this morning outing on the holiday, many other people were also out. A caption says the weather seemed likely to rise to about 22°C; that is phrased as an expectation (“らしい”), not as a temperature measured in the diary. Other captions mention a sparkling morning sun and a favorable impression. At the summit, a caption quotes, “There’s a rainbow.”
A separate note says Mamushizaka Hato Sablé cookies, and a pouch for them, ordered on August 10 (Pigeon Day), had arrived and looked very cute. The diary does not say they were eaten on the hike. Another caption describes logs for trail maintenance as just under 3 m and surprisingly light, and says a photo was taken with Kawajiri-san. The diary closes by marking the day’s mountain walk as finished.
The activity title says Mt. Kinka was crowded on the holiday. No further counts, trail restrictions, or weather observations are given beyond the lines above.
