Highly reccommend this tour. Our guide Keita san was fabulous. He had a wealth of knowledge about all areas we visited during the tour and was very helpful and insightful throughout. The temple ceremony was a highlight. Great way to spend a day outside of Tokyo city. Thankyou for a great day

This is a beautiful area for hiking, easily accessed by train, and offers trails of varying degrees of difficulty, from paved to rocky, leading to vistas at the top of both Tokyo and Mt Fuji. You will see shrines and religious sites that are interesting; the area is important to those considering the historic pilgrimage from Tokyo to Mt Fuji. Our guide Mori was wonderful and knowledgeable. The hike itself was about 90 minutes to the top, but we had great weather and it wasn't crowded, so we went quickly, choosing to linger at the top and then taking the funicular down to the base area, stopping at the temples. We finished with a nice soba lunch at the base, followed by a bath and massage at the onsen by the train station. We had not been to an onsen before, so some guidelines were important to know. Mori helped us navigate all this and we were so grateful and had a wonderful day.

Tatsu was a wonderful tour guide. The hike is beautiful, and his knowledge and tips made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing time hiking to Mount Takao. Tatsu was such a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and really went the extra mile to make the trip tailored and personal to us.

The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. Our guide Tatsu was nothing short of fantastic. The knowledge and tips he provided throughout the day helped make the experience even better and he was very respectful of our needs all day. The views at the summit were incredible and well worth the climb. Highly recommend this tour!

Not worth it. Better to do it alone. Going to the mountain just consists of taking a train and going up the trail is easy to navigate.

I had a fabulous day hiking Mt. Takao with my guide, Rie. The views were beautiful and we got a glimpse of Mt. Fuji! She was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. She also gave me a recommendation for a fun Monja restaurant in Tokyo that was delicious. I would recommend this adventure if you are looking for some time in nature outside the city.

What a treat this tour was. Not only was I able to get out of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, but I was also able to learn so much about the Mt. Takao area. My guide, Rie, was fantastic. She explained so much to me and I had such a wonderful experience. She was so friendly that I felt like I had known her forever. I highly recommend this tour. And the cherry on the top with the onsen (hot spring) was perfect!! Bring a change of clothes for the onsen abs you will leave feeling refreshed and invigorated. I can’t wait to do it again.

Just a great experience hiking with Yumi. Loved the views from the top and the nature trail along the river.

Our hiking to the peak of Mt. Katao was nothing short of spectacular, seamlessly planned and executed by our wonderful guide, Rie. The route (one of several) up to mt takao was filled with beautiful scenery but at the same time peaceful and exciting. After the hike up to mt takao we had a delicious meal at one of the local soba-restaurants. Highly recommended 👍 To round of the day we took a well deserved bath at the hot springs close to the station. All in all, very enjoyable experience and Rie was a fantastic guide! :)

We had four days in Tokyo and found this a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Tatsu was a great guide - on time, paced well, excellent knowledge of the trail and the temples and other sites along the way. Very flexible and accommodating.

Our guide Akiko was fantastic. Kept us moving at a good pace, answered our questions and showed us a beautiful part of Japan. Highly recommend.

I can not express adequately how amazing Rie was as my tour guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and, most of all, passionate about Mt. Takao, which elevated the entire experience. She was adaptable to what I wanted to do (I switched the route we took to the top when we got there), and was prepared for everything that came up. I’m only rating her a five because I can’t go any higher. It’s already a major highlight of my trip!

My most memorable part of the trip was reaching the top of Mt Takao and viewing Mt Fuji from there. Our guide, Hiroko was so kind to help and answer questions regarding the history of not only Mt Takao but the surrounding area.

Great guide; very knowledgeable and patient with us as we hike and take our time. Highly recommend him for Mt. Takao and other Tokyo locations.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Mt Takao. Not only could he answer all our questions, he also was very patient with maneuvering a surprisingly steep trial and well-prepared with random necessities (like a hand towel!). He even gave us a very nice gift as a memento at the end of journey. He has our highest recommendation!

Excellent tour of Mt Takao with Tatsuaki with a special guest appearance of Mt Fuji, enjoyed from the top of Mt Takao. Tatsuaki was professional, knowledgeable and made the day fun. Our favorite part was a tie between seeing Mt Fuji at the top of Mt Takao and visiting an Onsen for the first time. Our soba lunch was excellent as well. We love hiking and nature and if you are looking to get out of the city and enjoy the great outdoors in Japan, this tour is a must-do when visiting Tokyo.

This Mt. Takao hiking tour was one of the highlights of my 3 week vacation in Japan. There are multiple trails that you can choose to take (easy to somewhat rigorous). Trail 6 was the “middle ground” and most scenic for me - ascending dirt trails, to climbing a few hundred steps on a wooden staircase. You’re often hiking along running streams and mini-falls. The terrain was thoroughly gorgeous and lush. Once to the top, the views were spectacular. There’s even a simple Japanese restaurant at the top, offering excellent soba, ramen, etc. My local guide, Tatsu, was excellent. He always took the time to answer my questions and provide many photo ops along the way. In addition, Tatsu was always ready to provide rich historical and cultural contexts to the many Buddhist temples and shrines we encountered along the way. This hike truly captured the beauty, majesty and rich history of Japan. Had the perfect ending, soaking and relaxing in natural hot springs (Japanese Onsen) at the base of the mountain. Highly recommend this hiking tour!

The challenge of making it to the top was very exciting. The hot spring baths after the hike is essential for those tired muscles. We ended it with a traditional Japanese dinner that was delucious.

Tatsu was such an experienced guide with fluent English and massive knowledge of Takao san. I am so happy he guided us.
