Takaosan guchi Station
The Olympic Games in TOKYO 2020 have started.
I visited Mt. Takao to see the Olympic mark monument.
I heard that it is on the top of the mountain.
It takes 2 hours to visit Mt. Takao from my studio.
You can take the Keio line from Shinjuku to reach “Takaosan guchi” station.
The narrow path to the Cable car station
This is the nearest station and you can walk by the river for 5mins, you can reach the Cable car Station.

It was a quite fine day.
Yes, it was a terribly hot day.
Do not forget to take water.
Cable car Station
You can climb up by cable car or lift.
I purchased a special ticket that includes a round trip.
You can choose the cable car to go up and go down with the Lift.
The cable car moves every 15 min.
The Lift moves anytime.
Cable car
It is decorated with Tokyo Olympic version.
I just really want to visit Mt.Takao once in my life.
You can reach the middle of the mountain by train easily.

After 6 mins ride you will reach the middle station.
Look at the sky.
A fine day isn’t it.
Cable car station
Now my walking started.
Thanks to civilization, there are many vending machines with chilly beverages.
Heatstroke is very dangerous in such a climate.
It takes 40 mins to reach the top of the mountain.
Takaosan temple
Mt.Takao has many temples and Shrines.
The mountain has been a holly place to visit.
Serial donation keep the environment of Mt.Takao.
Takaosan temple
Many stairs and long earth road and heat makes you tired.
Do not forget to drink water and to take a rest.
I never have such a dripping sweat in my life.
Many semi-professional hikers wear long shirts and long pants and good mountain shoes.
But I think it is better to go up with T-shirt and short pants.
It is much cooler.
Top of Mt.Takao and the Olympic mark monument
The top of Takao mountain
I never imagined that the top of the mt. Takao has a square.
Many people are sitting under the shadow of the tree.

Finally, I saw the monument.
It was not so big but looked great.
Thanks to GOD to let me reach safely.
