Mt. Takao – To get out of the city for a breath
fresh air, go to Mt. Takao, near Hachioji. Mt. Takao has hiking trails that
wind through the woods, along streams, past Buddhist temples and Shinto
shrines. It takes a couple of hours to hike to the top (depending how often
you stop on way) or you can take cable cars up the mountain, if you don't
feel like hiking. At top of the mountain is a visitor's center. |
