Today, I would like to share my itinerary for a day trip to Mt. Takao in Tokyo.
Mt. Takao is located in Hachioji City, Tokyo, and it takes about an hour from Tokyo to Mt. Takao by Keio Railway.
Mt. Takao, which was selected as a three-star scenic spot by the Michelin Green Guide like Mt. Fuji. If the weather is good, you can see Mt. Fuji from the summit of Mt. Takao! The legendary Diamond Mt. Fuji Sunset is also available!
Takaoyamaguchi Station, designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is a spectacular blend of woodwork lines and the modernity of the local mountain landscape.
There are many beautiful scenery along the mountain road, and the cedar trees that grow like octopus legs are a must-see. When you step into Yakuo-in Temple, which has a history of over 1200 years, you ring the bell and wish good luck and good fortune! You can see many halls of Yakuo-in Temple, and you can also see bright red maple trees and tengu statues during the fall foliage season. In addition to walking and hiking, it is also recommended to take the mountain view cable car and mountain chairlift to climb the mountain, and you can see a variety of scenery~ When you come to Mt. Takao, try various climbing routes Please give me!
Speaking of Takao gourmet, you can't miss tororo soba, dango, and ice cream. In addition to mountain climbing, there is also the Mt. Takao 599 Museum and Mt. Takao Keio Onsen where you can relax in a hot spring after descending the mountain. If you have time to travel to Mount Takao, you must experience it~
