2025 Hachioji Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#2024TravelReview Mount Takao is located in Hachioji City in western Tokyo, with an altitude of 599 meters. The number of tourists exceeds 3 million each year, and the number of mountaineers ranks first in the world. Mount Takao was awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide, along with Mount Fuji, due to its vast forests with trees over a century old, the mysterious Tengu legend, and six hiking trails of varying difficulty. In autumn, you can enjoy the beauty of maple leaves. There are eight main hiking trails on Mt. Takao, including the Nature Research Trails 1 to 6, the Inariyama Trail, and the Mt. Takao-Mt. Jinma Trail. For those who are climbing Mt. Takao for the first time, we recommend starting with Trail 1. Easy, you can walk easily in normal clothes and sports shoes. Professional mountaineers recommend Route 6 or the Inariyama Route.

Mount Takami is located in Hachioji City, Tokyo. It is about 600 meters high, not far from the city center and has convenient transportation. It is the best choice for urban people to escape from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature. Starting in mid-October, the leaves of the maple trees on the mountain begin to change color, gradually turning bright red and orange. The hiking trails are lined with red leaves of varying shades, making the scenery along the way varied. At the top of Mount Gaomei, visitors can overlook the beautiful surroundings, with the city and mountains in the distance complementing each other. There is also the famous Takaosan Yakuoin Temple here. The ancient architecture, torii and red leaves of the temple blend together to form a beautiful landscape painting. The autumn leaf season at Gaomei Mountain usually lasts until around December. If you want to avoid the crowds, it is recommended to arrive before 9 am. #RedLeaves #100 Ways to Travel

Recommended mountain for climbing near Tokyo! The distance is close, so you can get there quickly. Along the trekking course, there are many temples, and the view from the top is truly beautiful. There are also many ancient trees that are hundreds of years old. You can take a cable car up to a certain point. If you have time, I highly recommend visiting at least once.

Mount Takao, located in the western part of Tokyo, is renowned for its magnificent scenery and diverse hiking trails. Taking the Mount Takao cable car is a great experience, allowing you to easily enjoy the surrounding beauty. The cable car starts at Takaosanguchi Station and the journey takes about 5 minutes, offering views of the trees and valleys along the way. At the top of the cable car ride, we can easily walk to the summit and enjoy a 360-degree spectacular view. On clear days, there is a chance to see the stunning landscapes of Tokyo city and Mount Fuji.

The most popular and must-visit attraction near Tokyo - Mount Takao! Plan along the way you can take the cable car, sling chairs or hike on foot! And I chose to sit in a hanging chair round trip, the two people on the way to sit together (unobstructed to enjoy the scenery), the return trip separately (convenient to take pictures of each other) the whole process is about twelve minutes, super comfortable! Full route: Arrival at the station → Takaoyama Crane → Monkey Park → Tengu-yaki → Yakuo-in → Donzi-yaki → Takao-san summit → Yam soba noodles → Takao-san hiking chair return! Must-eat delicacies: Tengu grilled (crispy outer layer with slightly sweet black beans inside 👍🏻) Yam Soba Noodles (local specialty, must try) Grilled dumplings (available along the trail). Attractions of Mount Takao: At the foot of the mountain: Kyoto Takaoyama Onsen Paradise Hot Spring Mountainside: thousand-year-old Yaowangyuan, Monkey Garden Summit: Observation Deck, Fujimi 100 views You can spend about a whole day from Shinjuku to Mount Takao. If you like to take pictures📸 is also highly recommended! Address: Takao Town, Hachioji City Access: 5 minutes walk from Takaoyamaguchi Station on the Keio Takao Line #Japan must-visit photo spots

I climbed Mt. Takao! The trailhead is about a 5-minute walk from Takaosanguchi Station. When I went there in early April, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and I was able to climb while enjoying the beautiful scenery. There is a restaurant at the top where you can eat soba and udon noodles, so it's best to start climbing at about 9am, aiming for lunchtime. On the way there, I climbed the mountain trail and on the way back, I took the ropeway down. The ropeway sways a bit, so it's a bit thrilling, but the view from there is also very beautiful, so I recommend it! Along the trail, there is a monkey park, a souvenir shop, a black sesame dumpling shop, etc., which is fun (^^) #Mt.Takao #Climbing #Ropeway

#japan Mount Takao, located an hour outside Tokyo by train, is a popular destination among city dwellers for the views from its seven hiking trails. To enjoy the view without the work, you can take the cable car or chairlift to the top and visit the Takaosan Yakuoin Yuuki-ji Temple, which was founded in 744. The mountain changes faces every season, offering a different experience each time you visit. Mount Takao offers a rich natural experience within close proximity to Tokyo and is well-loved by many visitors. However, its popularity can lead to crowds, which may not be ideal for those seeking solitude in nature.

#TokyoTravel 🗻 Tokyo Hachioji is the eastern end of central Tokyo. Tokyo Fuji Art Museum is located right here at this eastern end. It houses many works from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods, and among them, it houses many Renaissance art pieces. It is said to be the collection of a Japanese art society, and it was a place where you could really see the power of Japan during its heyday. If you are an art lover who likes Renoir and Van Gogh, I recommend you visit. ❤️ Tokyo Fuji Art Museum: 〒192-0016 492-1 Tanano-cho, Yatou-shi, Tokyo #Travel #Tokyo #ArtMuseum

#timetotravel This is the main trail to the peak and is recommended to the beginner hikers as the cable car and chair-lift are also available. The Monkey Park, the Wild Plant Garden, cedar street, Tako sugi (Octopus Shaped Cedar) and Takao-san Yakuo-in Temple are on this trail. There are a lot of resting places and restaurants. It is recommended for hikers those who want to enjoy the trail to the peak at a slow pace.

It was founded by Tachibana Ukyo-no-shoyu as a prayer for the safe delivery of the emperor's wife. That was 1,250 years ago. The enshrined deity, Konohana Sakuyahime, is also a goddess associated with safe childbirth. There is a myth that she gave birth in a delivery room that was set on fire. The grounds include the Shinsui-den Hall, a statue of Konohana Sakuyahime, and a place where you can pray for childbirth with a gushing sacred water. The sacred pond is also recommended, and Itsukushima Shrine is enshrined nearby. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Koyasu Shrine 🚉Hachioji Station → 🚶‍♀️ 6 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Koyasu Shrine #Shrine Tour #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing

When talking about the suburbs of Tokyo, people will think of Kamakura and Enoshima.  But if you want to go hiking, there are fewer people and the local customs are more authentic Mt. Takao in Hachio City is a perfect place for this. It only takes 1 hour to take the Keio Line Express from Shinjuku. There are very few tourists going there on weekdays during the summer vacation, and most of them are local hikers.  Despite this, the visitor center and the restaurant on the mountain have complete English translations, so there is no need to worry about communication problems. Maybe the temperature in the mountains is cooler, so even in mid-July, I still saw hydrangeas that hadn’t wilted yet. I’m so lucky! (The hydrangeas in Kamakura also wither during this period) In addition, there are many hiking routes to choose from. We chose an entry-level hiking route, going up the mountain at 9:00 that day and coming down at around 1:30. We recommend you take the cable car up the mountain, which is said to be the steepest cable car route in Japan. We recommend you take the small cable car down the mountain, but it has no railings and is very thrilling!  #Takao #Tokyo Suburbs #Tokyo Free Travel #Tokyo #Tokyo Travel

#Japan Attractions Mount Takao Onsen Paradise Soup is located at the foot of Mount Takao. After climbing, take a dip in the hot spring to relieve fatigue😊 Built in 2015, the decor is quite new, however the price is not expensive at ¥1000 per person Divided into men's and women's baths, there are indoor hot springs and outdoor hot springs, outdoor garden design, full visual score, in addition to the hot springs and saunas. The spring water is a carbonated hot spring, and the skin is smooth after soaking If you are tired, you still have a lounge to take a nap. Overall, it's good value for money, suitable for resting after climbing 💪😊 After that, you can go to the Glacier Shrine next to it. This is also a famous shrine in Hachioji City and has a long history🙏

#Japan Attractions Finally reached the top of the mountain, this time it took an hour to get there, so that the time I saw online was much faster, I was soaked all over Looking out over the city of Hachioji, dotted with houses between the sky and the earth at my feet, full of satisfaction I heard that you can see Mount Fuji from the observatory on a good day, but today you can barely see a few continuous peaks There are also many cherry blossoms planted on the top of the mountain, and many of them are still in full bloom In the distance, the mountains and forests present different color changes, emerald, green, green, yellow, pink, quite picturesque 💐💐💐

#Japan Attractions You can choose to climb Mt. Takao by cable car or chairlift. The round trip price is the same: 930 yen for adults and 460 yen for children. However, in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the pilgrimage road, you must walk up the mountain. At the beginning, there were giant fir trees on both sides, which were very huge and should be more than a hundred years old. There are many cherry blossoms in full bloom along the way, white cherry blossoms, pink cherry blossoms, and beautiful flowers. The most amazing thing is to see a giant sacred tree that looks like an octopus. It should be a spirit. It turns out that when the construction of the memorial road was in progress, the roots of this cedar blocked the construction road, but overnight the roots turned around, allowing the construction to continue. In order to commemorate it, people called it "octopus cedar" and worship it every year. It really shows the tacit understanding between man and nature🤩🤩

#Japan Attractions Takaosan Yakuoin Temple is a temple located on Mt. Takaosan in Hachioji City, Tokyo, Japan. You can buy a one-day pass on the Keio Line and take it to Takaosanguchi Station to get to the foot of the mountain. The official name of the temple is Takaosan Yakuoin Yukiji Temple, and statues of Tengu, which can be said to be the symbol of Mt. Takao, can be seen everywhere in the temple. There are also many popular spots such as the "Wish Wheel Diving" where you can pray while passing through the wheel, and the "Lucky Octopus" where you can bring good luck by touching the head. The gate of the mountain, the four heavenly kings, Zengchangtian, Guangmutian, Duowentian, and Chiguotian guard the gate of Yaowangyuan The six senses are the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, plus the mind that determines right and wrong. The Eight Dragon King Halls are blessed by the Golden Dragon King and are a powerful attraction for wealth and vitality. The "Ohondo" of Yakuo-in Temple is where the great god Izawa Daigongen is enshrined. When you look up, you can see a large-scale Tengu mask with a proud and powerful look. There is also a huge red torii, a shrine to remove bad luck, and a holy heaven dedicated to the god of joy, which is very suitable for worship and prayer🙏🙏

#tripmemory2022 One stop from Shinjuku! The foot of the mountain is a five-minute walk from Takaosanguchi Station on the Keio Takao Line. How about visiting Yakuo-in Temple? You can easily get to Otokozaka and Onnazaka by using the lift or cable car. If you are not confident in your stamina, it might be a good idea to walk just to get there and just to get back! #breathtakingviews #wintertrip #coupletrip #tokyo #tokyotourism
