Mount Takao 高尾山

Mount Takao or Takaosan 高尾山 (Altitude ~599m), situated in Tokyo, Japan.

Did a solo day hike in June 2018. Popular mountain that is easily accessible from Tokyo. On clear days, you can get a view of Mount Fuji as well.

Getting to the trailhead:
Take the train to Takao Station.



There are 10 trails to choose from at the trailhead depending on the difficulty level and distance that you like. Trail 1 is the most popular one as it is the easiest with access to chair lift and cable car should one be tired.

More info on their main website: Takao 599

I ascend via trail 6, Biwa Waterfall trail, the most challenging and rustic trail.







All the trails eventually leads to the summit observation area.
