About the Course – Mt. Takao
Mount Takao is located in Hachioji city in Tokyo. The place is very easy to access from the center of Tokyo. For example, it takes only one hour from Shinjuku station by train. Many people visit this mounatin all the year.
The mountain has a variety of features from touristic spots to mountain trails.
If you go to the mountain for the first time, I intorduce a model course for the first timers.
On the way to the top, the trail No.1 is recommended. It’s a main course and most hikers take this trail. There are many sightseeing places like temples, shrines, shops and restaurans on the course.
And on the way back, I recommend the trail No.4. It’s a short mountain trail. There is a suspension bridge in the middle of the course.
All the courses are not difficult, so from children to adults can enjoy a hike on the mountain.
