Mount Takao
A popular hiking spot near Japan's capital, celebrated for its Buddhist culture, stunning autumn colors, and views of Mount Fuji.
Tips from the community
Okay so not *technically* Tokyo but close enough! (I had to add something for the outdoorsy seekers out there). Mt. Takao is an excellent day trip to getaway from the bustling city during Golden Week, a pleasant hike that is rewarding with local bars and restaurants waiting at the top full of inaka flair.
