Takahashiya (้ซๆฉๅฎถ)โ โ โ โ โ Hilma's pick
Tororo soba since 1836 at the foot of the cable car โ the bowl of cold buckwheat noodles with grated mountain yam is the taste of the whole climb. If you eat one thing on Takao, this is it.

Takaosan Yakuo-in Yuki-jiโ โ โ โ โ Hilma's pick
Thirteen-century Shingon Buddhist temple halfway up the mountain, founded in 744 by the same priest who built the Great Buddha in Nara. Tengu guardians watch from every gate. The fire rituals here go back centuries.

Mount Takao Summit
Viewpoint
Sep 7
Mount Takao Summitโ โ โ โ Hilma's pick
The end of the funicular and the start of the view: Shinjuku's towers on the southern horizon and, on a clear winter morning, the whole silhouette of Mount Fuji. The best reason to walk up.

Attraction
Sep 7
Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyuโ โ โ โ Hilma's pick
A hot spring at the mountain's base, one minute from the station. After the climb, the baths soak the ache out of your legs while you look out at the cedars you just walked through.
