Takaozan

Mt. Takao is about an hour from central Tokyo. The mountain owes it popularity to its ease of access and abundance of nature (the number of native plants is about 1,600 species. Which is roughly equivalent to number of unique flora found in the UK!)

In recent years Mt. Takao has become the world's most visited mountain with 3 million visitors a year. Mt. Takao is full of attractions, including Yakuo-in temple which has a history of more than 1000 years, a cable car that boasts the steepest slope in Japan, a wide variety of trails for all your trekking needs, and gourmet shops that carry local specialties such as Tororo Soba.

The secret to Mt. Takao’s success is that even absolute beginners can enjoy the mountain and its subtle moods. Beautiful nature such as autumn leaves, Summer’s fresh greenery, diamond Fuji in December, the stamp rally, Setsubun in the Spring, Yakuo-in events such as fire festivals, and various group events are also a major pull. All of these things mean that you can enjoy Mt. Takao all year long!

“Great Tour Along the Coast of Miyazaki”

First, I wanted to say the taxi driver was great. Very friendly despite not speaking English and my Japanese being very limited. Not only did he take me to all the spots I wanted to go, he also took me to some quick detours for great sightseeing and photo opportunities, and even recommended me a local onigiri shop which was delicious. But Woo of TR Taxi was amazing at putting this all together. I reached out before the taxi company was taking bookings, but Woo answered all my preliminary questions and would always follow up when it was time to book or when there were any updates before the day of the tour. I never needed to wait more than a day to hear a response back either, unless it was known the next update would be a while in the future. While these tours aren’t as personable due to the language barrier, I think TR Taxi is still a great option to see places that are hard to get to by yourself, and it was very easy to work with them!

“Hired A Private Car For A Tour Of Nikko”

Because it's challenging to easily get to all the sites around Nikko, we hired a private car to take the two of us to six or seven locations (e.g., waterfalls, embassy villas on the lake, etc.). Our driver retained through GoWithGuide was great - a careful driver, kind and helpful. We had a wonderful day and would use their service again.

TR Taxi

Thank you for sharing your experience and the beautiful photos of Nikko in autumn. It is great to know that you had a pleasant day and that our driver could assist you well. Thanks again, and we hope to serve you again soon.
