Mt. Takao

An hour outside Tokyo by train, Mt. Takao is popular among city dwellers for the views from its seven hiking trails. To enjoy the view without the work, take the cable car or chairlift to the top and visit the Takaosan Yakuoin Yuuki-ji Temple, founded in 744.

I went on a Wednesday. Very easy to get there. I bought the discounted pass (roundtrip by keio line and roundtrip of car cable) 1300 yen. You should check the weather before you go. If its cloudy it’d be difficult to see the Fuji If you have no experience its ok because there is a road pavimented. Very peaceful. Deberias ir un dia de semana. Fui un miércoles de Diciembre. Chequear que no este nublado sino no se vera bien el Fuji. El camino es cansador pero fácil porque está pavimentado. Por 1300 yenes pueden sacar desde cualquier estacion keio el viaje de ida y vuelta y e ida y vuelta del cable car o Silla

Mt. Mitake

Reviewed By amatsumo

If you're looking for a great hike in Tokyo, this is great place. You can stay in the local inns- which they are on the older side but I feel like it kept the nostalgia, hubby and I liked it. The hike itself is pretty steep going down to the waterfall but worth it. Proper shoewear is must. Check with the locals/online reviews because one road was closed due to mother nature. This can change the entire trip. Tokyo- winter: wicked cold. Summer: wicked hot. bring appropriate clothing.

Mt. Nokogiri

Reviewed By ShiningSchnee - Hong Kong, China

Mount Nokogiri used to be a quarry, and on top of the hill there’s a centuries-old Buddhist retreat. If you are lucky to come on a fine day you can enjoy sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and even Mount Fuji in the vista.

Mount Tsukuba

Reviewed By ShiningSchnee - Hong Kong, China

We took the cable car up the mountain, then hiked up both peaks of the mountain and down via one of the trails. Sweeping views of the plains and fields and on this very sunny and clear day, we could see as far as Mount Fuji and the Pacific Ocean. There were many interesting rock features along the trail downhill. Very enjoyable hike!
