drink or eat something on the mountain. If you want to eat a box lunch in the open air, buying some food at these shops is a good idea. Head for Cable Car Kiyotaki Station. The cable car and the lift is the easiest way to go to the summit area if you are not the hiking type. If you are a good walker, hiking the mountain is very enjoyable. There are three trails from the side of Kiyotaki Station, and each trail will take you to the top in about 90 minutes. For very beginners, 1-goro (Trail 1) is recommended. You can enjoy walking along a mountain stream in 6-goro (Trail 6), and you can enjoy nice views via the Inariyama Trail. Although Mount Takao is low, it is a mountain, so please be careful. Prepare rain gear and something to drink, wear a hat and shoes that comfortably fit you. Even if only using the cable car, wearing high-heeled shoes is not recommended. From the observation deck near Takaosan Cable Car Station, you can see a panoramic view of the Kanto Plain, centering on high-rise structures in downtown areas such as Tokyo Tower and Yokohama Landmark Tower. Takao Beer Mount is open from July to the end of September every year. It is a very popular beer garden with a breathtaking view of Tokyo and Yokohama. This view is popularly called the “10 million dollar night view.” Go through the Trail 1, and find Monkey Park and the Wild Plant Garden. Watching the doings of about 50 free-range monkeys is interesting. Passing a gigantic cedar called “Tako sugi” (octopus cedar), you will reach a fork in the trail. One way is Otoko-zaka (male slope) with 108 stone steps and the other way is Onna-zaka (female slope) with a more gentle slope. The two ways join together later. The cedar-lined trail continues and these cedars are said to be 450 years old. They are 6 meters in diameter and the tallest ones are about 37 meters in height. Yakuo-in Temple is the head temple of the Chizan School of the Shingon Sect of Buddhism. It is home to a tradition of ascetic training for
yamabushi (mountain priests) and also numerous folk stories of long-nosed tengu goblins. In the precincts, a large tengu statue and a small tengu statue faces each other. Hiwatari Matsuri, or Fire-Walking Ritual, annually takes place at a square in front of the Kito-den Hall at the foot of Mount Takao on the second Sunday of March. Small pieces of wood are burned to pray for a perfect state of health in the year ahead. When the fires die down, yamabushi bravely walk barefoot over the hot coals, praying for perfect health and the well-being of the family, which is the climax of the ritual. Ordinary people can participate in the fire-walking if they so desire. If you climb a little more from Yakuo-in, you will reach the top of the mountain. There is a visitor center and restaurants, and an observation deck is at the back. On clear days, Mount Fuji can be seen right in the front of your line of sight. Mount Takao has nature trails where you can observe and learn about nature in all seasons. Boards explaining animals, plants, insects and wild birds that are peculiar to Mount Takao are set up along the trails. After enjoying the rich national environment, go back down the mountain through your favorite route. Blessed with abundant spring water, Mount Takao is also known for its delicious soba, or buckwheat noodle, shops since olden days. Other dishes such as tororo soba, or buckwheat noodle with grated yam, river fish dishes, and mugitoro, a boiled mixture of rice and barley topped with grated yam, are also available.
