Hiking Tour from Tokyo

 

Are you the outdoorsy type? Not really a city person and prefer to hear the chirping of birds rather than the hubbub of a crowded metropolitan? Feel like breathing in the fresh mountain air full of positive ions? Then this tour is exactly right for you!

 

Hiking near the City

 

During this tour, we will travel to one of the many mountains that are close to Tokyo. Especially Mount Takao is really beautiful during the autumn season with vibrant reds and oranges everywhere.

 

Depending on the time of year, some mountains are not easily accessible. Also, depending on your exercise level, we need to pick a mountain that won’t be too challenging. There are some that can be reached by means of a cable car, but if you are fit enough we can hike up or choose a more challenging mountain to climb.

 

Currently Available

 

The following two hiking tours are currently available.

 

!!! Please note that we only organize private tours and don’t offer the option to join a group !!!

 

1. Mount Takao (6 hours)

Ask a Tokyoite where to go hiking, and they’ll most likely direct you to Takao-san (599m), the Disney of Japan’s mountain treks, located just a 45-minute train ride away from Shinjuku. We can take the paved trail for a three-hour round trip past the Takaosan Yakuoin Yukiji Temple, monkey house, and food vendors, or, if you fancy more of a challenge, we can take the Inariyama Trail. On this hiking tour, we can enjoy a view of Mount Fuji at the summit, and when we get down we can make a brief pit stop at the popular beer garden.

 

Meeting point and drop-off point: Takaosanguchi Station

Price: 35.000 yen per group (1-6 people)

 

2. Mount Oyama (6 hours)

Known as Kunimi-yama (Guardian of the Land), Mount Oyama (1,252m) has been a favorite among pilgrims for over 250 years. We can take the cable car to Oyama Afuri Shrine, or choose between the ‘women’s’ and ‘men’s’ trails (the men’s trail is steeper). The trail to the summit takes two hours (total round trip of 4-5 hours sans cable car). While descending the trail, hikers have a panoramic view of the Tanzawa-Oyama National Park.

 

Meeting point and drop-off point: Isehara Station

Price: 35.000 yen per group (1-6 people)
