The Walking Dead Season 2 Türkçe Yama
Niki Wienberg
For those just looking to dip a toe into the Tokyo hiking scene, Mt. Koubou is an excellent starting point. Set in the foothills south of Mt. Oyama, this easy 2.5-hour hike is especially popular during cherry blossom season, when lanterns illuminate the flowers in the early evening.
Along the route are waterwheels and, depending on the season, cherry blossoms, red spider lilies and wild flowers. Climbing Mt. Hiwada (the end part) may seem daunting to non-hiker cheapos, but it is actually more of a hill at only 305 m high. From the top, you can enjoy views of Mt. Fuji and Tokyo before heading back down to the main road and either catching the train or walking back the way you came. See our dedicated post on hiking Kinchakuda for more details.
The double-peaked Mt. Tsukuba is one of the most popular climbs near Tokyo offering an easy route and spectacular views of the Kanto Plain. It is one of the top 100 famous mountains in Japan, with a somewhat one-sided rivalry against Mt. Fuji.
You can also join a guided hiking tour and learn about the mountain and its wildlife along the way. Plus, the guide will give you the lowdown on onsen etiquette when you stop by the onsen after your hike.
Nearest station: Keio Takasanguchi. From there, you can hike up the mountain (about 2 hours), or walk to Kiyotaki Station, where you can take a combination of cable cars and colorful open ropeway lifts (ski-lift style) for 490 one way, depositing you halfway up the mountain.
Nearest station: Hamakanaya. The ropeway and hiking trails are a short walk from the station if you are arriving from Tokyo. From the Yokohama area, you can travel to Keikyu-Kurihama Station, get a bus to the port, then ferry to the mountain base.
You can reach the trailhead from JR Fujino Station. On the way back, there are two options: 1) Leave the trail at the summit of Mt. Jimba to take a bus back to Hachioji, or 2) Trek the full route, which ends at the cable car/chair lift on Mt. Takao.
Nearest station: JR Okutama. Leave the station and turn left, then cross the bridge over the Tama River and enter the forest path on the right-hand side of the road. Follow the signs for Mt. Nokogiri (鋸山) and Mt. Ōtake (大岳山). Make a note of the kanji, as the signs often lack English.
You can manage this hike in a day or spend the night at the Kōgen Hut plateau, which has a campsite as well as sleeping spaces indoors. It is not a hostel though; the hut is unsupervised. From there, getting to the summit of Mt. Kentoku takes a little over 90 minutes. For those game enough, just below the peak is a sheer rock precipice, which can be tackled via a long chain. You can either hike a steeper route down the other side of the mountain or return the same way. For more details on this awesome hike, see this post.
