Tokyo may be one of the world's most exciting and entertaining cities, but after living there for years you start to realise the unpleasant fact the world's biggest city is also a noisy, crowded and dirty slab of concrete. So it's always a bit hard to believe, as well as a pleasant surprise, when you realise that Mt. Takao is within Tokyo prefecture's borders.

Takao is Tengu Land. I went there in a December some years ago and the leaves were just changing at that time. Have yo get back up there.
Thanks for this post - we are off to Tokyo on Monday through Wednesday (also for our wedding anniversary lol) So it's on my already too long list of places to go!!
I really need to go to a place like that. I have been away from the comfort of the mountains for what seems like forever.
I wouldn't exactly call the Mt. Takao area "the mountains," unless you go on one of the overnight hikes on the trails in that area.
Yamanashi and Nagano are also not that far and actually have mountains you can see very few people on.
