Second only to the world-renowned Mount Fuji, Mount Takao needs no introduction. It is only 50 km from the city center of Tokyo and thus a popular favourite among locals and tourists alike.

At the summit, there is a breathtaking view of surrounding peaks. Before going, do check this page for fall foliage reports.
