All Moments About Hachioji
Mt. Takao Fall Foliage - Temples, Torii Gates and Fall Foliage combine to form a beautiful landscape painting
Mount Takami is located in Hachioji City, Tokyo. It is about 600 meters high, not far from the city center and has convenient transportation. It is the best choice for urban people to escape from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature. Starting in mid-October, the leaves of the maple trees on the mountain begin to change color, gradually turning bright red and orange. The hiking trails are lined with red leaves of varying shades, making the scenery along the way varied.
At the top of Mount Gaomei, visitors can overlook the beautiful surroundings, with the city and mountains in the distance complementing each other. There is also the famous Takaosan Yakuoin Temple here. The ancient architecture, torii and red leaves of the temple blend together to form a beautiful landscape painting.
The autumn leaf season at Gaomei Mountain usually lasts until around December. If you want to avoid the crowds, it is recommended to arrive before 9 am.

Takao Mountain, a recommended trekking course near Tokyo!
Recommended mountain for climbing near Tokyo!
The distance is close, so you can get there quickly. Along the trekking course, there are many temples, and the view from the top is truly beautiful.
There are also many ancient trees that are hundreds of years old.
You can take a cable car up to a certain point.
If you have time, I highly recommend visiting at least once.
Taking the Cable Car: An Easy Way to Reach Mount Takao
Mount Takao, located in the western part of Tokyo, is renowned for its magnificent scenery and diverse hiking trails. Taking the Mount Takao cable car is a great experience, allowing you to easily enjoy the surrounding beauty. The cable car starts at Takaosanguchi Station and the journey takes about 5 minutes, offering views of the trees and valleys along the way.
At the top of the cable car ride, we can easily walk to the summit and enjoy a 360-degree spectacular view. On clear days, there is a chance to see the stunning landscapes of Tokyo city and Mount Fuji.
🇯🇵 Baskin Robbins Tokyo
The happiest ice cream for the children and the adults. Baskin Robbins always have many special and unique flavours and they always have the best designs overseas. Some of these special flavours only can be found in South Korean and Japan. Now in Japan, the special character is Pokemon and you can get unique Pokemon characters flavoured ice cream. These are so cute and there are proper tables and chairs for dine in too. You also can buy takeaway and the staff will pack it nicely in an ice cream box. You also can get cute 3D character cakes without reservations.

Mount Takao (Spring)
I climbed Mt. Takao!
The trailhead is about a 5-minute walk from Takaosanguchi Station.
When I went there in early April, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom,
and I was able to climb while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
There is a restaurant at the top where you can eat soba and udon noodles,
so it's best to start climbing at about 9am, aiming for lunchtime.
On the way there, I climbed the mountain trail and on the way back, I took the ropeway down.
The ropeway sways a bit, so it's a bit thrilling,
but the view from there is also very beautiful, so I recommend it!
Along the trail, there is a monkey park, a souvenir shop, a black sesame dumpling shop, etc., which is fun (^^)

Easily get to Mt. Takao from Tokyo⛰️
📍Takao Mountain in Hachioji City, Tokyo
From Shinjuku, Tokyo, it only takes a little over an hour to take the Keio Line. You can enjoy the fun of mountain hiking easily and easily~
It is a very popular attraction now! !
Takao Tozan Railway operates mountain cable cars, mountain chairlifts, and restaurants and snack bars. You can also choose six mountain trails of varying difficulty to go up the mountain⛰️
I recommend trying Tenguyaki here👺
I think it's very delicious, and the red bean filling inside is very dense!
After going down the mountain, you can go to Gokurakuyu next to Takaosanguchi Station and enjoy a hot spring bath!
Get rid of the day's fatigue, 1200 yen for adults~
You can also buy a cup of Meiji milk to drink while playing~ It's great😋
The nearest mountain with Tokyo !!
Mount Takao !! Another beautiful hike just one hour local train ride form Shinjuku!!! They have special train line called Keio line and , it took one hour direct from Shinjuku and it cost me 388 ¥ for one way . And make sure you take the train until end station , the name I put in the photo. And you have a choice here , either hike up and down all the way or take cable car/ chair lift ( same price -450¥ one way ) and walk down . I was there on cloudy day , if sunny day , can see Mount Fuji from the summit of mount Takao . And also beautiful sunset , because the sun set over the mountain and went down to the opposite sea . But , make sure you come back in time if you want to take ( chair lift-4 pm last ) , ( cable car -6:00 pm last ) I might need to go again one more time on the sunny day🤭🤭😜!! Those who like to hike like me , make sure to hike mount Takao while you are in Tokyo !! See you all on the other side of the world 🌎!!.

Finally reached the top of the mountain, this time it took an hour to get there, so that the time I saw online was much faster, I was soaked all over
Looking out over the city of Hachioji, dotted with houses between the sky and the earth at my feet, full of satisfaction
I heard that you can see Mount Fuji from the observatory on a good day, but today you can barely see a few continuous peaks
There are also many cherry blossoms planted on the top of the mountain, and many of them are still in full bloom
In the distance, the mountains and forests present different color changes, emerald, green, green, yellow, pink, quite picturesque 💐💐💐

Catching Mt Fuji on Mt Takao 😍
Feeling adventurous? Try hiking in Japan! Mount Takao is about an hour train ride from Shinjuku Station. Our plan was to hike up the mountain to get some exercise during our holiday. We were blessed with really good weather, so much so that we are able to see Mount Fuji clearly at the peak! It was really a lovely surprise as we had already plan to head over to Mount Fuji area the next day.
At the base, there are restaurants and shops which you can have a meal or some snacks before hiking. You can choose to hike up all the way or take a cable car ride up first and continue to hike. This was what we did as we wanted to check out the cable car. It was fun and if you want to choose either to take it up or down, I would suggest taking it when you are returning as the view is better. #japan #mounttakao #mustvisit #mustdo
[Tokyo] Mt. Takao, an easy hike
