Takao san

Filed under: — Andy @ 8:24 am

Last weekend I climbed Mt. Takao. It’s not nearly as big as Mt. Fuji, but it is the best nature and hiking close to Tokyo. The weather was great, though not perfect as we could not see Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Takao is about 600 meters above sea level. The hike up was great, and the nature and beauty of the mountain was amazing. I am going to climb it again in a couple weeks as I really enjoyed this trip.


This guy wore a WWII Japanese military uniform as he climbed to the top.


At the top! It wasn’t really that hard.


The leaves were starting to change in some places.

  4. I recommend Okutama over Takao for hiking close to town. Take the Chuo out to Tachikawa, then the Ome line to Ome, and then the line out to Okutama. If you go to the end of the line there are nice hikes there; you can also get off at Mitake and take the cable car to the top of the mountain there. There’s a hike from Okutama station that takes you to the peak of Kumotori-yama, the highest point in Tokyo Prefecture; but that’s an overnight trip.
