Day trip to Mount Takao in Hachioji, Japan

Hello friends,

After came to Tokyo, I really wanted to go hiking and to enjoy in nature in my free time. Takao san (Mount Takao) is a really good spot for someone who likes to go for a walk, take some nature pictures and of course just enjoy the view.
View from spots

You can visit at any time, some people enjoy maple view or cherry blossom view in respective season.

Just for giving a little info of Takao mount:

  • Location of the mount is really suitable for ones who live in Tokyo [Still great spot for tourists]
  • Located in a city of Hachioji [From Shinjuku to Hachioji, may take an hour by JR train]
  • Many temples and spiritual places
  • And Monkey park, museum
  • Hot spring [onsen]
  • The view is fascinating [bridge, soo tall trees, waterfall]
  • Many trails to reach the top of mount
  • Facilities including cable car, chairlift to reach the top of mount [price is reasonable, not costly]

Visiting temples and an entrance of Mount Takao is definitely free, but if you are planning to go Monkey park or hot spring bath, or using cable car, chairlift to reach the top have a service fee [need to buy a ticket for that].

When you reach the mountain hill, there are many eatery places to try.
From the base of the station to the top you can go any trails, each trail has different views but most of the trail will reach temples and park.

So how to reach Takao mount?:
If you traveling on JR line, you should get down at Takao station and need to change a train to Keio line to ride one more station.

JR line
[from Shinjuku to Takao station]
At Takao station
Change to Keio Line
[Takao station- Takaosanguchi station] - Maybe it takes 2-3 mins since it is only one station.

Takaosanguchi station is located at the base of the mountain, so very accessible to reach the entrance gate.


Map for Takao mountain [number of routes]
When you get down at the station, will see this map on the big board. From here can decide which route should take, how to reach to the top (by foot, cable car or lift etc.,)

Entrance gate
This is how the entrance gate looks like, if you planning to go by chairlift or cable car, from there you can buy the ticket. The chairlift was very nice and the view and smell of nature were amazing. It took somewhat 15 mins to reach the top.

Astonishing view
Just really liked the view and nature, of course, enjoyed for praying temples and just environment of the place was so peaceful.

At the weekend, many local people also foreigners visit just to see this beautiful nature. I am hoping that any of you reading this can visit.

Azaa,

IITB - CSE graduate student (2016-2018) learned 3 Lessons from IITB

Yay, it is been a long time since I haven't updated on my blog. Today found a good time to write little about my IITB life and lessons learned from there. In July 2016, I landed in Mumbai city, India for studying master in Computer Science. Still, I could remember that day; very humid, at night I reached the campus. Couples sitting, friends chitchatting and walking. Even though it was 2am, I felt that people there a bit active at night. Reached the hostel..., Unfortunately, my room was not available at that time, so I stayed in the TV room that night. Early morning, fortunately, I made a friend with a girl. :) (Not remember her name now :p) We went a mess and had breakfast. First time seeing the mess, it was big for me also many students were there. Most of the students had already made friends, sat with them and were laughing and all. Then went to my department (Computer Science and Engineering (Kresit)), attended freshie intro. This was the first time for me to be ...

Power of Happy Thoughts

Hello my friends, Today I am going to share with you guys about " Power of happy thoughts ". Every morning when you wake up, please say to yourself  "What a good day!" , " This is my day!" , " My life is precious "  or similar words which can motivate (sharpen) you in whole day. I am sure that most of you know how the thoughts impact our lives. You may already read from "Secret" and "Law of Success" books. Everybody knows that whatever we think in our brain, the result will be transmitted by those thoughts either "Good" or "Bad". We attract what we think. But why do we sometimes disappointed, feel sad or even talk rubbish things about people or something? Why can't we stop thinking bad things or feeling? Have you ever tried to change yourself and ended up with no success? Most of us say these words everyday without consciousness. "it is very difficult to get job", ...

After long time

After Long time! Wooow, it's been already 4 months. I always remember that i came to Mumbai, India first time. Everything is so different from my own country, actually i come from Mongolia, different people, different language, different air , different food and culture, extremely i thought that its like another world rather than our Earth. Still sometimes think India is like independent little world. Everything is in here, whenever you go you can find almost everything except sea food or something related to sea which is purpose to eat. About my academic, i am study at IITBombay /Indian Institute of Technology Bombay/ in Computer Science field.One of the top university all over the India. Really proud of my university :). Campus, environment, professors and students are just awesome! I found most of people are friendly and kind who live or study, work in IITB  or inside in IITB. Mostly now sunny days is coming, during that hard days big big tall tall tree...
