Mt Takao Daytrip - Great Hiking Near the City
Looking for a sweet natural escape from Tokyo’s hubbub? Come experience our Mt. Takao.
Mt. Takao (599 m), called Takao-san in Japanese, is a power spot popular with Tokyoites and visitors alike.
Takao-san was awarded three stars in the 2007 Michelin Green Guide, so you know it’s a special place!
A day hiking sacred Mt. Takao
Your private tour guide will be waiting for you at your hotel and together you will take a train from Shinjuku Station to Takao-san Mountain.
Take in the scenery and listen to the sounds of nature as you climb the mountain.
Soon enough you will arrive at a quiet temple near the top of the mountain called Yakuou-in, where you can indulge in the temple’s vegetarian lunch offerings (booking required at least one month prior).
While in the neighborhood, you’ll visit “Nihon Monkey House” which is close to the summit. There are sixty cute Nihon monkeys you can watch go about their lives.
Afterwards, you’ll descend the mountain by cable car.
You have the option of returning by private car or taxi if you wish, or you may return to Tokyo as you came, by train.
