Things to do in Mount Takao

We had a fantastic day trip! Our guide, Jordan, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insights about the area throughout the tour. We highly recommend this experience. Our group ranged in age from 10 to 70, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.

It's easy to use; just scan the QR code at the entrance to get in. Be aware that some facilities close early, so it's best to go early if you want to experience them! This time, we came here specifically to see the illuminations. Since we had other plans before this, and the journey to the park was long, coupled with considering the return bus schedule, our actual time spent in the park was only about two hours. Consequently, we couldn't experience most of the rides. However, we did get to ride the Rainbow Gondola, which was what we most wanted to try, going back and forth twice. It was truly beautiful. We spent the rest of our time taking photos around the park. Although we weren't particularly interested in this year's Tamagotchi collaboration, hearing the Tamagotchi theme song playing in the park and seeing how happy the local children were made the atmosphere feel very joyful! Also, for visitors not driving, it's crucial to pay attention to the bus schedule, as the buses are infrequent. We aimed to catch the last bus at 7 PM, but when we arrived, there was already a long line, and one bus definitely couldn't accommodate all the waiting passengers. Fortunately, extra buses were added, so we didn't have to wait until the 8 PM bus. Everyone waiting for the bus (including locals) was quite worried about how they would get back.
