Mount Takao
Level: Easy
The peak: 599m high.
Easy day trip from Tokyo city.
Keio Railways offer the cheapest and fastest connections to Takaosan. Direct semi-limited express trains, which take about 50 minutes and 390 yen, leave the underground Keio Shinjuku station every 20 minutes. Takaosanguchi Station, the train's terminal station, is located at the foot of the mountain.
Offers sweeping views and the experience of walking through the thick, verdant forests that are so important to Japanese culture. You should make it to the top in an hour or so, with a cable car on hand for those looking to relax on the way back down. On a clear day you might be able to catch sight of majestic Mount Fuji in the distance.
