Tokyo: Mt Takao高尾山
There was fear and eager anticipation when the group members first heard of the itinerary to visit Mt Takao. The information of its trekking routes weren't very clear for the trekking amateurs to gauge the level of intensity. Anticipation coz it would be a new experience.
Weather was good. The group got enough sleep. Members did not want to disappoint R. The plan went on.
Mt Takao was less than an hour direct train ride from Shinjuku. Since it was a close getaway from city, many locals visit this place as well. R read that this place would get even more crowded during autumn when the scenery gets even better.
