Trekking on the footpath of Mount Takao on a nice day🥾
There are multiple routes on Mount Takao, and you can choose the route depending on the difficulty level◎

The outbound route is suitable for beginners🔰, the most popular standard route, "Route 1 Omotesando Course", and on the return route, we took the slightly more challenging "Route 4 Suspension Bridge Course"✨

The "Route 1 Omotesando Course" is basically a route where you walk on a wide paved footpath. Along the way, you will find "Yakuoin Temple", which is considered a highlight of Mount Takao. Pass through the stone ring and pray for protection from evil and good fortune🤲

The "Route 4 Suspension Bridge Course" is a route where you trek through more nature than Route 1. The suspension bridge is a must-see and a popular photo spot 📸
