Hiking at Mount Takao
DATE: SATURDAY, March 9, 2024
(WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO MT. TAKAO TO ENJOY THE MOUNTAINS AND PLUM BLOSSOMS?）
Takao Station, near Mt. Takao-san, can be reached in about an hour on the Keio Line or JR Tyuo-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 climbing the mountain alone, please come! !
On the second Saturday of every month, this Refresh in Mountains organizes guide trekking at relatively easy and enjoyable mountains.
The fresh greenery on Mt. Takao will not be seen until April or May, but in March you can enjoy the plum blossoms that herald spring at the foot of Mt. Takao. Enjoy the red and white plum blossoms with your eyes and nose at Takao Plum Village, located on the north side of Mt. Takao (the scent is also fragrant), and then climb Mt. Takao. Nice small flowers may also be blooming. If the weather is good, you may even be able to see the mountain range and even Mt. Fuji.
