Golden Week Flash Mob Takao Mountain⛰️: Let’s go ~ Let’s go climb for some sacred joy!

It's really unreasonable not to climb a mountain during the Golden Week! This time we climbed the "Takao Mountain" that Tokyo residents love the most! Starting from Hachioji City, you can escape the urban jungle in less than two hours, and get to the green mountains and cool breeze on your face~ ⸻ 📍Itinerary: 🚡Cable car or walking? We want both! I originally wanted to be a mountaineering warrior, but I fell in love with that super cute cable car! The cable car is super inclined, and it feels like playing the reverse version of free fall when I sit on it😂 I reached the mountainside in a flash, and then continued to walk up the mountain. The scenery is so beautiful that it looks like a filter~ ⸻ ⛩️There is a surprise at the top of the mountain There is a super spiritual Yakuoin Shrine at the top of Takao Mountain! I heard that it is very effective in praying for health, so of course I immediately put my hands together and prayed a few more times (by the way, I prayed that the Golden Week would not end too soon🙏). The view from the top of the mountain is unbeatable, you can see Mount Fuji (if you are lucky 🤣), and there are a lot of people picnicking, eating bento, and taking beautiful photos for the Internet. ⸻ 🍜Replenish energy: A great mountain food experience • Grilled dumplings: freshly grilled and brushed with soy sauce, eat a bunch after walking a distance, and eat until you almost forget that you are hiking. • Soba noodles: cool and refreshing, especially after going down the mountain, it is like a rebirth. • Yam rice bowl: friends who have never eaten it must try it, it looks weird but tastes great! ⸻ 💡Precautions • The crowds will really explode: Golden Week = crowd mode, it is recommended to leave early to have peace of mind (about 10 minutes 🤣). • Wear comfortable shoes: Although the road is flat, you may be attracted by the food and walk around, and comfortable shoes can save your life. • Cash is more useful than credit cards: Some of the stalls on the mountain only accept cash, so just use it if you want to eat or buy something! ⸻ Conclusion: Mt. Takao is really the perfect escape route during the Golden Week🌿 No need to travel far, super exciting, and you can eat and drink while climbing the mountain~ This is the first time in my life that I look forward to sweating so much haha! Why not put it in your Golden Week itinerary? GO! 🏃♀️✨
