Autumn is one of the best times to visit Japan, with the beautiful red landscapes and falling leaves you can imagine. But ginkgo trees are also fairly common throughout the country, and in Hachioji in late November you’ll have the chance to admire over 4km of them. 
The trees were planted during the Showa period, when the city began to expand, and they line the road between Hachioji and Mount Takao. This will be a great day out for the whole family, as you’ll see festival food stalls selling local goods, as well as a variety of events including a market and classic car parade, and ‘Sekisho Orienteering’, where participants can use their Tsuta Tegata pass to pass through the traditional Sekisho checkpoints in celebration of this ancient custom.

Mount Takao

Mountain climbing

I was on a business trip to Tokyo and decided to go hiking.
I chose Mount Takao because it is the closest to Tokyo. It takes 1.5 hours by subway from Shinagawa to Mount Takao.

There are many hiking routes in Mount Takao. I only had half a day free, so I chose Route 6 to climb the forest exploration route, Route 1 to return on the natural history route, and finally took the cable car down the mountain. It took 2 hours to hike 6.5km.

Route 6 is along the stream, mostly on a rocky road. There is a plank road near the top of the mountain. The trees are tall and the ecology is relatively primitive. There are few people.
Route 1 is a repaired cement road with temples along the way. There are more people.
On one side of the top of the mountain, you can see Mount Fuji, and on the other side, you can see Tokyo City. The scenery is open.

It is said that this is the mountain with the most climbers. Maybe it was because it was a weekday, so I didn&rsquo;t see many people.
In general, friends who like hiking and mountaineering are worth a visit when they come to Tokyo.
