I highly recommend coming out to this mountain it offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, peaceful hiking, and cultural exploration. The views from various points are absolutely stunning, and you’ll come across several gorgeous shrines along the trails that are well worth stopping at. There's also a charming little suspension bridge that adds to the overall charm.
The mountain has multiple trail options, all falling in the easy to medium range in terms of difficulty. None of them are intense, and many are shaded, making them a great choice even in the summer heat. There are also plenty of rest spots, vending machines scattered along the way, and small eating areas where you can grab a quick snack or cool drink.
One of the best features is the choice between taking a cable car or a chairlift. I personally suggest doing one on the way up and the other on the way down, so you get to experience both. I especially loved the chairlift coming down—it gave a breezy, peaceful end to the hike. Just note that if you go early in the morning, the chairlifts might not be operating yet, so starting with the cable car may be your best option.
Another important tip: chairlift stop running at 16:30 so plan accordingly if you're heading up later in the day.
All in all, this mountain is a 10 out of 10 for me. It’s a perfect morning hike that offers incredible views, peaceful shrines, and multiple ways to tailor your experience depending on your mood and pace. A must-visit.
A picturesque mountain peak with a variety of hiking trails to take. The views from the peak are beautiful and worth the continuous uphill struggle. Took trail 6 and it’s not for the weak. The views and changing terrains make for a stunning trek, the stretch of stairs almost killed me. In the end, a great workout immersed in nature. The temple was amazing and the different trails and roads pique curiosity. If you are not the hiking type, there’s a cable car and lift service. Will definitely be visiting the mountain more.
Very easily accessbile from Tokyo, Shinjuku and Shubiya area with Japan Rail.
A nice small hike for a prelude for climbing something taller. I'd say it's more fun than hard and difficult.
Ascent time takes approximately an hour but all depends on your level of fitness.
There are shops and vending machines along the way, for keeping your hunger and hydration at bay.
Nice view from atop; Mount Fuji is visible if the weather is clear but unfortunately for me, it wasn't.
The trail then continues should you wish to continue to the next nearby mountains.
Must visit place for tourist in Japan
Can take cable car or chair lift up to one point after that u have to climb to the top with option 6 different trail .
Had climb through trail 4 and down by trail 3 . Both is easy and had nice trekking path with nice view.
If u are lucky as me then have best view of Fuji .
Suggest to take some snack and water bottle with u . Have floor mate to sit when u reach the top . Spend some time there on top .
Incredible walks. We took the chairlift up and the cable car down. Great fun!!! We walked to the temple but didn't make the visitor's centre. The monkey park was fun!
