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,

How did I learn Japanese kanjis in a week?

Started liking to make such quotes with an image Dear friends, A long time later I am updating my blog! As I live in Japan, today would like to share how I gain big interest in learning Japanese kanji, in other words it's Japanese characters, are words. Most people really freak out studying kanjis, because simply it looks very difficult to memorize, write and its pronunciation also hard to get. But if you know many kanjis, Japan is really great place for living. Let's start kanji study more deeply. 1. Don't freak out, instead interest it If you ever learning Japanese, you must have heard many people saying "Ohh I really don't like studying kanjis, it's too difficult" . Then you may started thinking the same as them. But here I am encouraging you to "Do not freak out" , instead think in a good way that you are interested in things which many people don't like. And try to make your kanji study in an interesting way. Maybe you...

[Миний бодол] 25 нас хүрээд хамгийн ихээр ойлгож авсан 25 зүйлс

Сайн байцгаана уу, Миний блогыг уншдаг хүн бүр маш сайн байгаа гэдэгт итгэлтэй байна. 25 нас хүрээд заавал өөрт хамгийн чухал гэсэн мөн ойлгож авсан 25 зүйлсээ бичих юмсан гэж бодсоор, бага багаар тэмдэглэж явж байгаад өнөөдөр ийнхүү цэгцлээд блогтоо нийтэлж байна. :)   Эдгээр бичсэн зүйлс минь хувь хүний үзэл бодол, уншсан сурсан түүнчлэн бяцхан ч гэсэн амьдралын минь туршлага дээр үндэслэгдсэн билээ. Хүн бүр авь адилхан бодол санаатай бус тул гоё эерэгээр уншаад авах гээхийн ухаанаар хандаарай. :) За ингээд 25 нас хүрээд ойлгож авсан хамгийн чухал 25 зүйлсээ хүргэе. 25 things that I understand by the age of 25 1. Гэр бүл хамгийн үнэтэй.  Миний бодлоор гэр бүл бол энэ дэлхий дээрх бидэнд хамгийн үнэнч хүмүүсийн нэгдэл байх. Тэд хэзээ ч биднийг орхихгүй, бидний төлөө юугаа ч өгөхөд бэлэн. Хамгийн муухай аашаа гаргасан ч тэд л хэсэг хормын дараа юу ч болоогүй юм шиг инээдэг тийм л сайхан хүмүүс.   2. Дурсамж бүртээ талархах. Чамд үнэхээр гоё ду...
