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!

“Kagoshima Airport Pick up and Drive Tour”

We arrived mid-morning and knew we had several hours to kill before we were able to check in. Mr. Yamada met us at the airport on time and we started our drive tour. Though technically not a tour guide, he was quite knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent driver. The taxi was immaculate and comfortable. We communicated through Google Translate which worked out very well. He took us to Sakurajima Island and other places in the area that would have been difficult to visit if it wasn't for his expertise. All in all, it was a fantastic day and we were super happy that we were able to arrange this private drive-- tour-a big thumbs up.

“Mt Aso tour from Yatsushiro Port”

Pros: spacious van for 8 of us. Driver courteous. Smooth driving. Mt Aso looked spectacular. Cons: driver late for nearly half an hour. Booking time is 9:30am but he arrived just before 10am. Not answering my phone call.

“It was perfect!”

I have booked for a private transportation from Shin-Aomori station to our ryokan. Everything was smooth, from my communication with Woo, to our driver, who took the initiative to reach earlier when he saw that our Shinkansen would arrive earlier. Will definitely use their service again! Highly recommended!
