Takao Mountain

Takao Mountain is very relaxing place very close to Tokyo city. Its just 1 hr train journey from main Tokyo city. Even in summer it’s a nice place to visit.















For me, this place was so close, that I started from my house at 7:30am and came back at 2:30pm. We went up the mountain using Lift which costed us just 470 yen per head. It was really worth experience. After that we climbed rest of the part for about 30 minutes and reached the top! It was so lush green everywhere!
Here are some more photos...Enjoy!
