Just a short train ride from central Tokyo, Mount Takao is a green oasis inside Meiji no Mori Takao Quasi-National Park where you can hike easy forested trails, visit a mountain-top temple, and enjoy sweeping views — on clear days even of Mount Fuji. Well-marked paths, a cable car option, and vivid seasonal blooms and autumn colors make it an ideal half-day or full-day escape.
