Join us for a scenic hike on Mt. Takao!
We’ll hike up via Trail 6 and come down on Trail 4, spending more time on the actual trails and less on the paved paths. This route is approximately 9 km long with an elevation gain of about 450 m.
Right now, the trail is looking lush and green. A highlight of this route is the suspension bridge, and on a clear day, we might even catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji!
