Mount Takao

#tokyospots


Mount Takao is one of the most accessible and rewarding hiking destinations near Tokyo. Just under an hour from Shinjuku, it offers a refreshing nature escape with well-maintained trails, a cable car for easier access, and stunning views of Tokyo and Mount Fuji on clear days. Along the way, hikers pass through lush forests, encounter Takaosan Yakuoin Temple, and enjoy seasonal highlights like cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant maples in autumn. Food stalls at the base serve tasty local snacks, making the experience even more enjoyable. Mount Takao is perfect for both casual walkers and serious hikers seeking Tokyo’s natural side.
