Takao Mountain and Hot Springs Visit
Description:
Sacred Mount Takao (altitude 599 meters) attracts with its picturesque landscapes not only local residents, but also residents of nearby cities, as well as tourists (although there are not too many tourists, so you can relax from the noisy Tokyo). From central Tokyo, the train will take about an hour.
First we will climb the cable car or cable car to a height of more than 200 m above sea level, from where in good weather you can see not only part of Tokyo, but also the famous Fuji. There we will see a real treasure of nature - the Japanese cedar, whose age exceeds the human 5-6 times. This sacred tree is revered as a deity and the place itself is considered sacred. Therefore, many Japanese, engaged in self-development, in search of enlightenment, make a pilgrimage to Mount Takao.
On Mount Takao stands a Buddhist temple, which is considered a symbol of the mountain. To reach this mysterious place, we have to overcome more than 100 steps! It's worth it, we assure you...
On the way back after our fascinating walk to the sights of Takao, we offer you to relax in thermal baths, a small complex of which is located next to the Takaguchi station (st., with which we will go to Tokyo). (optional)
