Hachioji Matsuri is held in Hachioji City and is one of the larger float festivals, with many floats parading around, as well as Kanto Taiko drums, traditional lion dances, and more. 
The Hachioji Matsuri is said to be one of the best float festivals in the Kanto region, with 19 floats decorated with intricate carvings. During the night parade, the floats are illuminated, creating a completely different fantasy scene from the daytime parade, which is worth seeing. Other traditional cultures that Hachioji is proud of include the lion dance, which has been designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Hachioji City and has been passed down at the city's shrines, the Kanto Taiko drum battle that echoes in the summer sky, and the folk dance "Nagashi" where dancers in yukata gather on the streets of Koshu.

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.
