HIKING AT MOUNT TAKAO
DATE: SATURDAY, December 10, 2023
Would you like to enjoy the scent of the mountains?
Takaosanguchi Station, the nearest station to Mt. Takaosan, can be reached in about an hour on the Keio Line from Shinjuku Station. Would you like to refresh yourself at Mt. Takao, which is rich in nature and has easy access?
If you are worried about trekking the mountain alone, please come! !
Mid-November to early December is a great season to enjoy the autumn leaves of Mt. Takao. Would you like to go to Mt. Takao to enjoy the autumn leaves earlier than in the city and the refreshing mountain air?
You can feel autumn and winter at Mt. Takao in December.
Why not take your time and refresh yourself in the mountains, mountain streams, trees, greenery, and mountain air of Takao! As we approach the end of autumn, we may be able to enjoy the last of the autumn leaves and the scent of the trees. However, the sweet scent of Katsura leaves near the top may be over. .
Route 3 for down way has fewer climbers on Mt. Takao, so you can enjoy a quiet forest bath.
Expected flowers we can see at this hiking
