Tokyo Side Trip to Mount Takao | japan-guide.com

[@GiboonCloudSmoker]

Few more days to spend in Tokyo before heading North, will give it a try! Thank you Japan Guide for being such a great source of inspiration for planning my 2-month trip in Japan.

[@japanguide]

Have a good trip!

[@Icer48]

Sounds like a great day trip from Tokyo, thanks for the recommendation!

[@laurenabernathy5581]

Sam!!!! We love it when you appear in the videos. Definitely missed seeing you. I do kind of miss the food nods. Everytime we go out to eat we mimic Sam's food nods so it's special. Great video guys, excellent shots and was very entertaining

[@adampilot8275]

Yet another splendid clip. Sam does a cracking job and Mount Takao truly looks like a gem of a day trip from Tokyo.

[@TokyoTones]

Highly recommend this trip for a getaway in an urban city!

[@ethan007]

Went there last year, recommended if you like nature and hiking, there are several routes, we took the easiest.

[@lukasmihara]

I was there 2~3 times I think. It's a great place and I always enjoyed my visits. I can especially recommend it in autumn with the beautifully colored leaves. In autumn the air is also usually dryer and clearer, so the chance on seeing Mt.Fuji is higher too. By the way, even if it's a bit cloudy, you might have a chance to see Mt.Fuji around sunset. At least it's silhouette 🗻

Just heard of Mount Takao for the first time (via my WaniKani kanji practice which mentioned it) and decided to look it up, and this video sold me instantly. Planning on doing my second trip to Japan in the fall, and hell or high water, I'm doing a Mount Takao side trip. Thanks for the great video!

[@japanguide]

And thank YOU for the nice comment! Glad the video inspired you to discover Mount Takao. Good luck with Wanikani btw!

[@zandlox]

Highly recommend this trip!

[@carlosbarr5738]

I love your videos so much! And your voice is perfect! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@flamoonigirlolivia]

:) :) Grateful for this tour of this area I was interested in for future!

[@japanguide]

You're welcome!

[@xxxbear]

Mt. Takao has many hiking trails. It's more fun to take the nature trails when going down the mountain.

[@LemifromJapan]

Amazing video! I've always wanted to go to Mt. Takao, but I didn't want to go when it's very busy💦 Now that it's quiet, I'd love to finally give it a try. Thank you very much for a wonderful guided tour!☺️🙏

[@japanguide]

Happy you enjoyed it!

[@afrodetraveller6005]

Love for japan

[@TallerdeVitrales]

Besutiful! I miss Sam... but you team are great anyway. I learned a lot of Japan thru your videos!

[@kazenokai515]

Did this a few years ago and it was pretty awesome.

[@lydialim8827]

What a great cover Sam!

[@cheesecakeknight5862]

Had to plan a trip to Tokyo for school, this was a HUGE help. Thank you!!

[@allyahmed894]

Awesome video you are the best....

[@lucianaborinato2993]

Another great and informative video by Sam! I do hope that he'll come back soon to work for Japan.com Arigatou gozaimasu

[@CruxayinJapan]

😎 Love Takao-san! Nice and easy beginners hike and one part you left out of this video is the Onsen at the base of the mountain right next to Takaosan-guchi station! Best way to finish up a sweaty hike (with beer too of course!)

[@PG-qn8od]

oh my looks amazing, might want to go there too 😍

[@tottui15]

Great

[@lantong3035]

Thanks

[@florin529]

Thanks for the video! Had this location on my itinerary but wasn't sold on it until I saw this. We are planning on doing this and then taking the Shinkansen to Sendai for the night. Would you say this is a good half day trip, pretty much doing everything shown here, or a full day?

[@UnlimitedPower9000]

Japan looks awesome! We just started as travel vloggers and would love to visit Japan some day😊

[@KellieLStimson]

I didn’t know about the Tengu having a birds beak. I have read a few fairytales featuring Tengu though. Great video once again.

[@moriken1234]

Those with bird's beak are called Karasu Tengu.

[@user-bc5cp1mm7z]

Hiii , you need go with cable car/ lift or you can walk to hike course? Thanks

[@lupanama7006]

Man, if only I can work in japan-guide.com...

[@christinejoygonzaga7823]

Do you have to make advance reservation for the beer mountain?

[@japanguide]

You don't have to but it can get quickly crowded so best might be to make a reservation by phone or online via their website.

[@hughmacdonald274]

“ethereal” 👍

[@geetikasharma844]

Hi! We're planning to hike Takao San on this coming Saturday. Can you please suggest that would it too cold or snowy or we could hike.

[@japanguide]

The forecast is cloudy. Rain from the evening. Temperatures are forecast to be similar to today. Dipping slightly below freezing in the early morning and then rising to around 8 degrees during the day. Not "too cold" if you bring proper clothing. I don't think there is much snow left, and the trails are open.

[@Omni0404]

6:03 That's reassuring that an all you can drink BEER GARDEN has admission prices for children 😂

[@ObeluStrawberry]

may i check how long is the whole trip from central tokyo to mount takao and back to central tokyo? do u need a whole day or half a day is enough?

[@japanguide]

It takes around 50 minutes from Shinjuku Station to Takaosanguchi Station. The hike to the top takes around 90 minutes but if you use the cable car or chair lift you can cut that time in half. If fast pace isn't an issue it is doable in half a day! If you need more info on Mount Takao, don't hesitate to visit our dedicated page: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3029.html Hope this helps!

[@_factoza-bangla]

Plzz plzz plzz make a video on Yokohama, side Tripp of Tokyo...

[@lawtiragetarot]

[@neostigma1306]

I wanted to ask, where do you get your music's from ? Really helps the videos :)

[@clar0scuro]

What’s the name of the music?

[@yossi4652]

can i go to the mountain at December? or it is closed like other mountains?

[@zandlox]

Yes you can. I went there in December a couple of years ago

[@zandlox]

Some of the shops might be closed though

[@jayspot8894]

100% doing this day trip next time I go to Japan

[@japanguide]

We hope you'll enjoy the day trip!

[@romanmahmud9342]

When I saw first this chanel there was no subscribers but now many

[@AVdv-wy8ii]

Can you go up without a chair lift? they seem kinda dangerous to me.

[@นพพลจรัสวิกรัยกุล]

ชอบครับ.

[@samnangrin1168]

Plz visit Takeo, Cambodia too.

[@yogayoga8603]

can i take chuo line rapid service for takao?

[@japanguide]

Yes, the JR Chuo Line connects Shinjuku to Takao Station where you would need to transfer to the Keio Line and ride one more station to Takaosanguchi Station. However, Keio Railways offer the cheapest and fastest connections to Takaosan. Connecting Keio Shinjuku station directly with Takaosanguchi Station. Here's more info: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3029.html#section_get_there

[@MiguelAlves1]

Damn it man, this video came a day too late. I am leaving tokyo right now (the day you uploaded it)

[@Skidman2000]

I love these videos , but when planning a trip i like to know the cost. In these videos you never state the cost of things like trains or entry into attractions. It makes it hard to plan out cost. I like the video :)

[@doioz]

Sam I don't know why I'm such a fan of your moves but 0:48 definitely looks like you're lifting a gun or anything. Anyway quite disappointed that you cut out all the food-nods this time haha

[@japanguide]

If we give you the nods everytime it's less suspenseful when they'll appear. ;-)

[@abdullakc]

I went there in 2019 but i didnt go to the mountain. I went to enomoto to buy some tamiya mini 4wd. That cable car is dangerous

[@VdWck]

Great video, as always. I personally don't recommend Takaosan. It is not wild enough, and nature and temples are unimpressive. Nikko is so much better.

[@kerri-annkumar5752]

Can kids aged 7 and 10 do this?

[@bryanclark7608]

Most of the videos I've seen thus far have been unlucky on the weather / views.

[@HaohmaruHL]

"TOE-KEE-OWW" I die inside every time I hear english speakers trying to pronunce this capital's name. And why did you even need to bring such a huge backpack if Takao can be done in half a day...

[@TheKaiTetley]

Haohmaru HL. I pronounce it Edo.

[@lukasmihara]

Camera equipment, drinks... what's wrong with the backpack..? Maybe it's just a comfortable backpack to wear.
