A great place to hike around Tokyo - Mt. Ontake

Mt. Mitake is located in Ome City, Tokyo, with an altitude of 929 meters. It is very suitable for friends who want to go hiking on weekends. There are tree-lined trails and exciting rock climbing. The autumn is also very famous. Transportation: Take the JR Ome Line from Shinjuku to Mitake Station - then take the Mitake 10 bus to the foot of the mountain. It is best to check the time in the transfer guide! Climbing: If you want to save effort, you can take the cable car to the halfway point for 600 yen. If you want to climb directly, you can start from the foot of the mountain. The route actually varies from person to person. It is best to go directly to the official website of Mt. Mitake to check out the recommended route, but I recommend that after arriving at the shrine⛩️, take the route pointed to "Nanayo no Taki" by the sign. The route is made of artificial stones and wooden piles. The risk⚠️ factor is high, but it is very interesting and the scenery is also good. It is said that if the weather is good, you can see Mount Fuji at the top of the mountain, but I didn’t see it. Time: It takes six or seven hours to go back and forth. It is best to set off early. It gets dark early in autumn and it is still dangerous in the mountains. Mountaineering equipment: Just choose it yourself!
