Takao San, Japan

Takao San, JapanVisits which happens quite short, so it was not able to visit Mount Fuji (Hakone Ottawa Kawaguchi Ko) because to get there should be at least provide one full day from morning till night.

But since I'm very fond of the mountains and wants to see the city of Tokyo from the top of the mountain (not on top of buildings). Then I tried searching the web and finally found the "Takao San". And it seems very interesting.

The journey starts from Shinjuku Station ride Keio Line Express heading to TAKAOSANGUCHI, can be reached in about 60 minutes, the total cost of 390 yen.

An amazing experience when he got in Takaosanguchi, we can ride the chairlift (as used for skiing). Seru and from below approximately 10 minutes presented with a view of the trees are very beautiful and charming.

Having reached the above, we can walk up to a temple before we achieve it, we will pass several stops selling Rice Cake and Ice Cream (ice cream sold in this cold place?).

Then walk about 1 hour, we will see a very nice temple, By the way, along with the way we will see a statue shaped like an octopus, do not forget to touch with gentle the head of the statue. For good luck! according to the local beliefs.

For those who want to continue to the summit of "Takao" with a height of about 600 meters above sea level, a total journey time of approximately 2.5 hours. But if you just want to see the view, quite up in Temple is quite satisfactory.
