HIKING AT MOUNT TAKAO (LET’S ENJOY HIKING WITH FRESH GREEN AND FLOWERS）DATE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2023
On September 9th (Sat), October 14th (Sat), November 11th (Sat), 2023, almost the same course will be climbed on the second Saturday for three consecutive months. Down-way with Trail 3 has fewer climbers in Mt. Takao, so you can enjoy forest bathing quietly.
In September, October, and November, you can feel autumn on Mt. Takao.
Why don't you refresh yourself with Takao's mountains, streams, trees, greenery, flowers, chirping birds, and mountain air? As autumn approaches, you can enjoy the scent of the trees, especially near the top of the mountain, of the katsura trees.
