Mt. Takao

高尾山

Hachiōji-shi, Tokyo · Elevation 599 m

Mt. Takao (599 m) rises in Hachiōji, Tokyo, as the centrepiece of Meiji-no-Mori Takao Quasi-National Park and one of the Kantō region's most famous peaks. Long revered as a Shugendō sacred site, its midslope is home to the great mountain temple Yakuō-in Yūki-ji, while its position at the meeting of warm and cool temperate zones supports more than 1,500 plant species and rich birdlife. Just a short walk from Takaosanguchi Station on the Keiō Line, it is served by a cablecar, chairlift, and six well-maintained hiking trails, and is often called the most-climbed mountain in the world. It appears on dozens of named-mountain lists, including the 100 Low Mountains of Japan, the 100 Famous Mountains of Kantō, and the 100 Flower Mountains.
