Living for years at walking distance from Mount Takao, I hiked there many times. Far from Tokyo centre, it’s still directly accessible by train from Tokyo & Shinjuku stations so many international travellers in Japan go walk/hike there. Its autumn leaves and statues of legendary tengu make Mount Takao particularly popular, and a guide is typically not needed.
Vegan Food
Several options are available for vegans. Providing vegan takeaways from 08:00 between Takao & Takaosan-guchi stations, Takao Veg Stand is particularly convenient for early hikers.
