Mount Takao is Tokyo's most popular easy hike, a forested 599m peak under an hour from Shinjuku, with a cable car and chairlift, several signed trails, a monkey park and a mountaintop temple — and Mt. Fuji views on clear winter days. Autumn colour draws big crowds. Free to climb, and the cable car is optional.
