[2025 Hachioji Attraction] Travel Guide for Takaosan Yakuōin Yukiji Temple (Updated May)

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.

Spent the day hiking up Mt. Takao and had such a great time! The trails are super easy to follow, and the views are awesome. But the best part? I had soba at a terrace restaurant on the way up—and it was so good. I still can’t stop thinking about it. I even took a photo because the view (and the food!) was that good. If you’re in Tokyo and want a quick nature escape, definitely check it out! #takao #mttakao #japan

On a weekend morning, I took the Keio Line to Takaosanguchi Station. The train was a bit crowded with people heading for hiking or sightseeing, but the lively atmosphere added to the excitement of the journey. Mount Takao is a popular tourist spot, and there were already many people gathered around the station and the trailhead. This time, I chose the Omotesando Route (Trail No. 1). Along the way, there were spots like Yakuoin Temple and tea houses, making the trail vibrant and uplifting. Families with children, couples, and elderly hikers were all around, showing how beloved this mountain is across different age groups. The summit was slightly crowded, but the panoramic view of the Kanto Plain was breathtaking! I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji's silhouette in the distance. On the way back, I took the cable car down and stopped by a tea house to enjoy local specialties like "Tengu-yaki" and "Sanpuku Dango." The lively atmosphere of nature and people made for a pleasant and refreshing weekend, turning it into a fulfilling day. [Access Information] • Keio Line: From Shinjuku Station to Takaosanguchi Station, about 50 minutes (via express train) • Takaosanguchi Station is a short walk to the trailhead • Hiking Route: Trail No. 1 (Omotesando Course), approximately 90 minutes one way • Recommended to arrive early in the morning on weekends
