Mount Takao

The autumn leaves are all gone now and its winter in Tokyo but I had to post a few pictures of my favorite outing during the autumn months.  Mount Takao which is to the west of Tokyo and just the right distance for a day trip.  Mount Takao is a mountain in the city of Hachiƍji and is protected within Meiji no Mori Takao Quasi-National Park.  You have different paths leading up the mountain each with a different level of difficulty or you can take the really easy way and take the cable car.

The highlight of course was at the top where we found a spectacular view of Tokyo to the east, a highland mountain range to the north and the snow-capped Mount Fuji.

  1. The photo of Mount Fuji looks fantastic, it looks like the mountain has just puffed out the cloud!

    All the photographs are so colourful, it looks a great day.
